I appreciate the quotes, but I do get very, very tired of listening to second-wave feminists on "Hillary lost to Obama because he's a man". Admittedly, had Hillary won, we would have sat through the idea that Obama lost because of racism; but I strongly suspect it is merely that Obama was the right candidate for the left at the right time, and anyone who had a history of traditional politics was doomed-- not to mention that Hillary's potential First Spouse definitely was NOT First Spouse material. :)

Hillary had/has her flaws, but:

a) she was treated like dirt by the MSM & her own party
far out of proportion to said flaws

b) Obama has done things that would have sunk her outright
a lot earlier, and is doing them ever harder now that he
has the nomination.

But yes, if he had lost, we'd have had to sit through the
charges of racism. & I fully expect to be hearing them in
November.
