Is Hillary Clinton's campaign the victim of sexism?
As Hillary Clinton's campaign limps into this week's primaries, some backers are attributing her struggles to sexism. Men have generally cast their votes for Barack Obama, while the women's vote has been split more or less evenly.
“Polls have shown that men tended to be more accepting of an African-American male than a female as president,” said Dianne Bystrom, director of the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics at Iowa State University. “This all really taps into the gender stereotypes in this country. We still have a long way to go.”
Is sexism keeping Clinton's candidacy down?

Submitted on March 3rd, 2008 by sunshine308yeah.. we noticed..however.. it seems to me and millions of other Americans that Bill and Hillary have resolved their problems and have got on with life.. so what is your problem??? I believe that Hillary has more to offer as a president than Bill did..she is very strong, very determined and has shown her strengths over the past years. This campaign alone she has overcome a lot of sexist attitude not to mention the bias of the media.. I give her credit..she is still there and I hope she will be going all the way.. the other option is very scary.

I used to really like the Clintons, For his economic policy succeses, For the era of peace and prosperity. I know that no one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes. I'm just not sure that they are good for our country, considering what happend the last time they had control, and lost control of their personal lives. Sometimes I don't think the two of them are good for each other.
I could be wrong.
One thing I know I'm right about is, The leader sets the tone, for the whole nation, The tone a leader sets determines weither or not we can work together to solve our problems. I feel Obama has set the right tone. Think for a minute about all the great world leaders whom you know about, some have been smarter then others, some with great wealth, some with not much wealth at all. The ones that inspired their people to do well all found the right tone. Bill has it, so did Reagan ,In my opinion Hillary does not. Dee Dee Meyers is a perfect example of a women who sets the right tone. She may have discoverd it while writing her book. I'm sure their are many more I have not heard. Perception is everything. one last thing , there is such a thing as bad experience, and I know First Lady Clinton has had her share, The question is , has she excepted responsibility for any of the few things she could control, like the tone of her marriage? or does she just like being the victum.
standing ovation
Submitted on March 3rd, 2008 by sunshine308I don't suppose you thought they gave her a standing ovation for her wisdom and demeanor at the debate?? of course you wouldn't.. but your candidate..Mr. Obama.. he's very interesting.. it has just come to our attention that Mr. Obama has lied to us again.. this time in the biggest way possible.. He is not even an African American.. He lied in his book about his life.. many times.. he was not from African heritage but Arab.. so he is an Arab American.. but he set us up in his book which he got Oprah to push on the public for him.. knowing full well the idea of an Arab American would not go over well with the American public.. now how do you think he will explain this one??? here is the site you can go to ..

Submitted on March 3rd, 2008 by kevinkindThere are examples of women who have grown on their own to be great world leaders. They take their titled throne by right of their rise of personal growth. I would like to say the same nice thing about Mrs. Clinton.
BUT, SHE HAS ALREADY PROVEN THAT IF YOU GIVE HER AN INCH SHE WILL TAKE A MILE.
Her hint of concession, at one of the last debates, which lead to a standing ovation . Lead her to claim "They really do like me" ,"Its me they want", " I am the one thing that can make this nation great" I say,"she is delirious", at best.
She seems to "lead" herself into some very strange conclusions. ITS MAKE ME WONDER IF WE CAN TRUST HER SOLUTIONS.
