Deep Thoughts

Not that a feeling ain’t valid, but…

Many of Clinton’s supporters, particularly women, also warn that they feel Obama has benefited from a free ride in the press and has taken advantage of barely veiled sexism. Clinton tellingly referred supporters to the analysis of ABC’s Cokie Roberts, who said this of the reaction some women have to Obama: “Here is this woman, she’s worked hard, she’s done it all the way you’re supposed to do it, and then this cute young man comes in and says a bunch of sweet, you know, nothings, and pushes you out of the way. And a lot of women are looking at that and saying, ‘There goes my life.’ “

God, I hope not too many women see themselves in Hillary in that way. She’s not worth it.
