| Women push back in support of Clinton | |
| 2008-03-31 | |
"My e-mail is bursting with women who are furious, and it's grown in the last week," said Ann Lewis, Clinton's director of women's outreach and a longtime Democratic activist. "These women are the volunteer infrastructure of the Democratic Party who've been proud to support Democratic officials for what they believe and stand for," Lewis said. "They are very angry that people they've worked for so hard would be so dismissive of Hillary and, by extension, of them and what they value." Indeed, the gender gap in most of the primaries thus far has been stark.... "Women have always been asked to step aside if it was somehow for the greater good. In this case, Clinton, and a lot of her female supporters, clearly feel that she would make the better president and that it would not be for the greater good for her to step aside," Wilson said. | |

| #7 Why don't the dhimmicratic women pick someone decent to represent them. It is an insult to women to just pick a women because she is a woman. For God's and your sake pick a woman with some moral character. |

| #6 Most of the middle aged dem women are in love with Obama. Seems based on news clips, pro-Obama video, and various and sundry blogs, it's younger women who are fervent Obama supporters |

| #5 This seems a lot of hype. Most of the middle aged dem women are in love with Obama. Most of the older women are truly old and thus a good majority of them would not have been "white working class women" but instead "white women married to working class men". Not that the distinction matters all that much. This just seems like spin put out by the Clinton team to scare the party faithful to allow her a chance to stay until the Clintons can work an angle for Hillary to get the super-delegates. |

| #2 But then you * did * nominate a conservative who can get elected. So, not bad given the alternative. |

| #1 McCain must be loving this: women Dems infuriated if Obama is nominated, and black Dems likewise if Hillary gets the nod. A lot can happen in 6 months, of course, but things look very promising for the Republican presidential candidate. Too bad we didn't nominate a legitimate conservative. |
