Isn't that to bad for the poor little rich girl. Come on, the press cooed and ogled over her as if she were the only female left on the planet. She got more than her fair share of liberal press support than Oboma did during the race, just as now for every 5 minutes of Obama "news" there are only 30-60 second snippets of McCain. She had her chance and blew it with her lies,(miss statements), about being under fire when she was greeted by a flower girl and a leisurely walk to the hanger. Dam, them flowers hurt when fired from a gun. I am a hard fast Republican, but she had me until she started to tell tall tails. Obama on the other hand I do not trust, tat only means one thing for me to do, remain a Republican.

Blaming gender bias may help some women vent about an outcome they didn't want, but there are more mundane reasons for what looks like a failed nomination fight. If Clinton had not voted for the resolution that gave President Bush the authority to wage war, the door would not have swung open for Obama to enter the race. His antiwar stance gave him a moral claim on which to stake his candidacy. Secondly, the Clinton campaign's decision to not aggressively contest the caucus states allowed Obama to build up a lead in delegates that Clinton was never able to overcome. Now Clinton supporters are arguing that caucuses are undemocratic, and if only the Democrats had the same system as the Republicans, winner-take-all in the big primary states, Hillary would be the nominee.
The sense of grievance that permeates the Clinton campaign is out of proportion to reality. Women seethe at the way Hillary's cleavage became news when a Washington Post style writer, a woman, did a feature on a lower-cut-than usual top she wore on the Senate floor. Silly and sexist, yes, but what if Bill Clinton hadn't waded into the South Carolina primary with remarks that seemed to conjoin Obama with Jesse Jackson? Would that have made a difference? Life isn't fair, but don't cry for Hillary. She's proved herself more than worthy to win; now she's got to muster the grace to lose.
