Hillary reminds me of GRAMER School the little girls just had to sit up front by the teacher. Thinking more each day how Hillary hurting the democratic party. Starting to have less respect for these so called SUPER DELEGATES who could add up the numbers and end this sooner. Hillary should pay her own campaign bills for her lack of not knowing when the game is over. And any thought of V. P. slot would be a joke having her. Hillaries idea of change would be like buying new tires for a car on its way to junk yard.

Nice job playing the sex card Hillary.

I was once a strong advocate for Senator Clinton staying in the race until June 3rd, because she played just as big a part in registering new Democrats around the country. However, with increasing attacks from John McCain, it is incredibly stingy of Mrs. Clinton to force Obama to run two campaigns. It is pretty much evident that he will be the Democratic nominee. Why not go ahead and give him the time, money, and support that he will need to fend off Republican attacks. Forcing Barack to run two campaigns, which he has been handling extremely well so far, could prove highly detrimental to Democratic chances in November. Let him focus his attention where it now counts!

Obama '08!!!

Million Man -

The people posting Hillary or McCain posts are not Democrats. They are Operation Chaos idiots that come here to flood the Ticker daily.

Pay no attention to them, nobody else is.

CNN THE MOST STUPID NEWS IN THE PRESS!! CNN ONE OF THE MOST PRO OPAMA CAMP IN THE PRESS (FOR NOW). YOU STINK!!

who wouldn't be sexist towards her, looking at that mug.

I'm sure that she did face sexist obstacles during her campaign. But to say that racism wasn't an obstacle for the Obama campaignis incorrect.

Also, how many pantsuit jokes did Clinton crack about herself? And how many times did she show up at rallies with her Mom and Chelsea, and promote the whole "3 generations of women" thing? She always encouraged women to break for her, and that's allright, but sexism goes both ways- to be angry that she was covered a certain way by the media that she encouraged, is hypocritical.

Obama on the other hand tried to make his campaign as little about race as possible. It wasn't until the Reverend Wright issue that he even dealt with it.

Of the 32+ million Democratic primary voters, what % are black and what % are women (or non-black women)? I'll guess there are 5 - 6 million black voters and at least 14 million non-black women voters.

How many voted for Obama primarily because he is black?
How many voted for Hillary primarily because she is a woman?
How many voted against Obama primarily because he is black?
How many voted against Hillary primarily because she is a woman?

I'll hazard a guess that the net result benefited Hillary. Certainly sexism worked against her. However, her main problem was not that she was a woman, but rather that she mismanaged her campaign horribly, that she and her entire campaign frequently displayed a lack of integrity and disregard for the truth, and that she simply ran into a more visionary, charismatic leader.

I am a woman and the reason I dislike Hillary is NOT because she is a woman - the reason I will NOT vote for her is solely because of her character!

I do not think the press has been sexist, but Hillary is trying to play the sexism card because it is the last one that she has in her deck!

Obama '08

What a ridicules statement by her, again.

I was watching CNN today, they were talking to voters in Kentucky. They asked him what we would say to Obama, since he was a Hillary supporter. He goes and says that Obama should stop being black. And that he would vote for a white person, being McCain if Obama wins the primary.

Hillary wins these states and rural counties in all the states, because they are conservative leaning, racists, and don't want to see a black man, regardless of his credentials in office.

Didn't Bill Clinton, not too long ago, say that his wife never whine? I thought she is in the race because Karl Rove says so.

Karl Rove does not have a college degree because of math. Now, he is doing some kind of math for Senator Clinton. Sounds like the lowest of all roads to me.

Can anyone seriously name any comments at all by the media that could be legitimately seen as "sexist" until Hillary fanatics started crying wolf about everything Obama said to twist it as "sexism"? No? I thought not.

It would be nice if Hillary get the nomination.Then she could choose
Geraldine Ferraro that old racist Biddy as her running mate

Wah, wah, wah. What else can Hillary find to cry about? Wasn't it her husband who recently said, if you can't stand the fight, get out of the race?
First, she says she supports the DNC rules, then cries because FL and MI were stripped of their delegates. Then she says whoever has the most delegates should win and changes her mind when she sees that will not happen for her. After that, she says whoever gets the most states should win, then changes her mind when she sees that won't happen either. Now she says it should be whoever gets the most popular vote - but only if you count FL and MI and DON'T count caucus states. So it's OK to disenfranchise all the voters who came out on caucus nights to cast their votes, but not the voters who voted in an illegal election? On top of everything,
She has totally lost my respect. If she somehow manages to wrangle the nomination away from Obama, I swear I'll vote for Nader or some other 3rd Party candidate.

What a ridicules statement by her, again.

I was watching CNN today, they were talking to voters in Kentucky. They asked him what we would say to Obama, since he was a Hillary supporter. He goes and says that Obama should stop being black. And that he would vote for a white person, being McCain if Obama wins the primary.

Hillary wins these states and rural counties in all the states, because they are conservative leaning, racists, and don't want to see a black man, regardless of his credentials in office.

I agree that media and the many in the general population have treated Hillary as someone to be ridiculed, scorned, laughed at, and in general, despised - and yes, because she's a woman. The undercurrent of sexism in American culture and way of life is simply amazing.
Mr. Obama's candidacy has been successful because a) he is charismatic and inspirational (albeit short on details of what he will actually as president past the "change" mantra) and b) he's a black MAN. Imagine a black woman named Baracka Obama, politically unknown senator from IL, a mother with two little girls at home, running as he is for POTUS. That campaign would have gone to dust faster than one could say "change."

I would have never imagined this, but if Hillary is not on the Presidential ticket in November, the ultra liberal me will vote for McCain. I cannot stand McCain, but at least he's not spewing propaganda wrapped up in charming promises of change like Obama does.

Hey Hill, How does it feel to be treated like a Republican?

I call shenanigans

When Obama can call a reporter "sweetie" and people on the blogs defend it as no big deal, you know people are out of touch with sexism, seeingthis as acceptable is a problem. Would it be seen as acceptable if Clinton had called a black man an affectionate name, just a minute "brother", I'll answer your question in a minute…..

How pathetic! Can you imagine what the press would have done to any man who would have said or done the things she has in this campaign? If anything, the press (especially CNN) has been bending over backwards to avoid criticizing her. Are these comments supposed to guilt people into voting for her? Hillary, get some therapy. The sooner the better.

is this the way you raise the white flag, Mrs. Clinton?… shame on you, you are a loser, the press has nothing to do with it….. what happens is you irradiate hate campaign, so this is what you get when you do that. Go for change, go for hope, go for Obama, even Mc Cain has better speech than you. You said you can't win election by making nice speech, well, guess what?… you have got so many enemies because of your language, I used to like you, but what you doing is too much to ingest. Go away you and your cheater hubby.

Yes sexism & racism is alive,
when Obama loses by 40 points does he cry…..no just keeps fighting
NO one says a word when Hillary always says….women let's make history.
NO one says a thing when she holds women only events….is that sexism?

Hillary…stop being a sore looser! I can not believe that you do not think that racism has not played a part in this primary. Are you blind? Its comments like these, that do not make me feel bad for changing my vote to Obama BEFORE the Virgina primary.

Gee Hillary. I guess its everyone else's fault that you ran a poor, negative campaign with sczhizophrenic messaging that changed depending on who you were pandering to. Give me a break. This campaign has been all about RACE. This is just a poor excuse for why you are not winning. She is now playing the SEX card to rile up female voters. This coming from the woman who's campaign has repeatedly played the race card!! I can't WAIT until this is over!

The fat lady can't sing anymore. She has laryngitis!

yes, she is so right. nobody has raised the issue on how the media has been so sexist towards Hillary. so many men in this country vote for Obama, just because they do not want to see a woman president. that is such a shame.

Its nice to know that Hilary and pull out teh sexist card…just about any card when it comes to pushign her bs.

Obama isn't beating her by being sexist. Obama is beating her by being a better candidate. You can't trump up all the people who didn't vote for her because she's a woman while patting yourself on the back for winning the rural uneducated white vote who didn't want to vote Obama because he's black.

Before claiming sexism is working against her, ask yourself what male candidate would get the sympathy vote for crying? Do people really think McCain is better than Obama? You would rather support a party that has continually worked to suppress women?

There's no negative press. The truth is that the numbers for Clinton are not adding up for her to win the nomination. It's negative for her supporters and her campaign and it sucks and hurts but it's the truth. A lot of people have an issue with hearing the truth but the truth shall set you free. Exceptance is needed now from her and her campaign and not denial and negative comments towards the press and Obama supporters. The press is doing their job.

Obama '08

Why do all you mean stupid people not like me? Why are the comment's about me so negative? I want to be the President! I want to be the President right now!!!

Billary–It is not that we (I am a female also) don't like women—–WE DON'T LIKE YOU!!!! You raised the female issue with all your 'history making' talk and now you blame your comeuppance on the gender issue.

Go home and try baking cookies.

Now come on Hillary,

You mean to say that we are sexist but not racist? You mean to say that the fact that Obama is black has had nothing to do with why older (more traditional) and white (rural) voters have voted for you and not him? Racism plays as much a role as sexism does, unless all of the candidates are of the identical sex, race, religious, (etc.) backgrounds then bias will always come into play. After all, why do so many women vote for you, is that not a bit sexist?

HILLARY…YOU GO GIRL!!!

America may have overcame its racism but sexism is alive and kicking! Just look at all those old male pundits on TV (Matthews tops the list and he isn't even on Fox News).

Clinton supporters who says they will vote for McCain instead of Obama - are childish idiots and doesn't deserve to vote.
Women died so that we could vote!
SHAME SHAME SHAME ON YOU ALL!

This will be her leatest lie. how about saying " I just lost for a better candidate"

Hiliary can't acknowledge that racisim is not in the campaign. Where has she been when she was jumping all over the Reverend Wright mess. She was having a grand ole time. Like Obama said she was in her element all happy and smiling. Even when she won Pennsylvania she was on a webcam mocking Obama to debate her. Hiliary you need the 3:00am phone call to tell you this campaign is about both but the racism side of it has played a much larger role.

As a woman, I find this comment from her both offensive and untrue.
The only gender based conversation has been interjected by her.
She has "played" the gender sexist card thru the whole campaign.
And I listened to Ferraro this morning too…and she is dead wrong.
Both examples that she cited were things that would have been said if the opponent was a man. And the "flicking" of the shoulder was for the press.

Christine from dallas…….You don't know what in the world you are talking about Obama hasnt complained once yet we hear Hillary crying about sexism she ought to be ashamed. No one is telling her to get out cuz she is a woman. Its becuz she is finished.

Wow, I support Hillary Clinton, have never voted Republican in my life. Don't plan to vote Republican this time either. But I have to say by reading this blog that Obama supporters are just as nasty and bitter as any Republican I have ever read about or met. Stop with the insults and BS about Hillary. I am glad as a woman that she is bringing up this issue. She has to, because the media is ignoring it.
Hillary 2008

STOP DEVIDING US!!!!!!! We are democrats, americans, human forget your pitty game - o poor me, Stop it . Dont speak in my name . There are many females who long ago started refering to them selfs as HUMAN, not by gender. We are much more than gender. Stop that complaining touchy spin. Let us finaly get rid of that as feminin touch. Stop it and go home!!!!!

Hillary and her gurls. Hey ladies, can you tell me her best friend? The clintons are always the victims when things are going south. I think her problem is not her gender but because she symbolises polarization in American politics. Woman have to remeber that Bill Clinton was solely responsible for the Bush presidency, why should we award his wife?

Hillary Clinton is losing this race because she could not control the people in her campaign. Bill Clinton tried to play the race card in South Carolina with the Jesse Jackson comment AND IT BACKFIRED.
What happened to all this sexism when she was 30 points up in the polls?SHE LOST HER CREDIBILITY IN BOSNIA, how can she say Racism is not being played Wow, what a joke, so NOW it's sexism. She cant NOT stop with all the lie's now the press is wrong. But keep the black joke's going. She is old news that is why Obama is the front runner.

Obama 2009,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Hillary Clinton, you are truly shameless.

Sexism is stupid and dangerous.
Please help Senator Clinton find some
specific examples of what she is talking
about, so something can be on the record.
Next we can boycott the media outlets that
actively engage in prejudice.

If there are no specific examples,
the lets all just leave it be.

Oh, so now she's a 'victim'?
But I thought she was so 'tough'

Hillary, Hillary, Hillary…….of course racism has played a HUGE part in this process. Without the 90+ % African American vote, Obama would have been gone along time ago.

I hope they find Ferraro's bottle of Lithium soon. I don't know how crazier or desperate she can become.
This is a sad state. I guess Hillary and her supporters need to blame others for a debacle of a campaign.

You wanna talk about divisiveness? Where was she complaining about sexism when she was winning? I want PROOF of instances when Obama OR the media OR the voters (???) were displaying sexism.

And if you want to jump on that quote by Obama 2 days ago about the "sweetie" fine - it's easy to attach something so small as that comment when he has done NOTHING for the past YEAR AND A HALF of campaigning to suggest differently.

Why don't people understand - people dislike Hillary Clinton because she is HILLARY CLINTON.

It's disgusting how she's now trying to divide the country for her own political gain. I am outraged that she would stoop so low.

I will be so glad with June 2, 2008 comes so this woman and Ferrero
can shut their mouths. Bitter old women! nothing could be worse than having this as president. One thing for sure you would not know what to expect in the White House with Hilliary. One lie after another oh but I forgot the new word for lie is miss-spoke . It is time for the Clintons to go back to Arkansas or New York or some island where there is is just her Bill and Ferrero.

Hillary Clinton said sexist attacks on her campaign have been "deeply offensive," and sharply criticized the press for not raising the issue. what? let me be the first of obama’s voters to say i’m sorry you are not winning.

Hillary enough is enough, the media played the get all candidates cards, you, obama and mccain. no one got the special treatment. please for the sake of the democrated party take a look at all sources of politic news for the last five months, you will see for yourself.

for the last two months your supporter swears out that you would not wine as they claimed obama does, oh well…..

Why are you doing this to us, WHY? how do you think we the democrated party is going unite for the good when you continue to make these type of statement because you are losing. there was a time I thought about voting for you, but you have all but made me see that i would have regretted it.

I’m sorry you are not winning.

again, let me say for the sake of the obama’s now voters, we are sorry you are not winning, I mean this sincerely from my democrated heart.

The Clintons played the race card, the gender card, and the media bias card! The deck is empy Hillary - give it up.

You lost and its nobody's fault except your own.
As a woman I'm offended by your continual whining and refusal to take responsibility for the failure of your own campaign!

"Griff: They're trying to seperate the Women from the Men… They should seperate the Boy (Obama), from the rest…"

1. Why do we have to separate ANYBODY? Isn't that the problem in the first place?

2. Why the hell do you insist on referring to a grown man in his 40's as a "boy"?

3. How old do you have to be to be called a "man"? Or, should I rephrase that question:

4. What color do you have to be to be called a "man"?

"Clinton, who is banking on a large win in Kentucky Tuesday to keep her presidential hopes alive, also said she doesn't believe racism has played a role in the presidential campaign."

And I suppose when some West Virginians were polled and admitted they voted based on race they were talking about Nascar.

As a woman, I am ashamed of how Hillary has behaved throughout this campaign, and I firmly believe that by the time this entire election process is over (post-November) she will have made it nearly impossible for any woman to run in the near future. Her political "strategies" have not given her the numbers she needed to win, and now she resorts to blaming the sexist media for her tribulations.

As a feminist, I believe that a woman's right to vote means voting for whom you think is the *best* candidate, regardless of sex.

OBAMA '08

This is the truth! In the US it is OK to be Sexist but not ok to be Racist. Sexism is almost expected in a lot of circles. Former Democrat here that will NOT vote for Obratma!! Clinton on write in vote if Obratma wins!!

Give me a break; the only reason Hillary Clinton was even consider for president is she's a women. (Former first lady's are women). Now she wishes to cry foul because she's lost to a black person? She's gets more sorry as the days go on.

The very sad thing is The democrates will lose the general election in Nov. Barry O. every single state except a few that Obama won in the Primary he will not carry in the general election period.

The Dems have done it again screwed themselfs by letting people that think they know better over the everyday americans. Guess what there are far more everyday americas then you know and they will not vote for Obama but they would have voted for hillary so on Nov 4th you will all say Hillary was right and where did you we wrong
72 Mcgovern
80 carter
84 mondale
88 Dukakis

is there really more to say here oh yeah Clinton in 92 he won

Pointing the finger again… "it's not her fault, it's the media!!"

You can chastise all you want Grandma , you aint getting the nomination , you are a liar , a deceitful person

Go Obama 08 and 012

I guess playing the gender card worked in New Hampshire and after the February primaries, so why not try it a third time?

Ohhhhh… Please Senator. Just let it go. You are being sooooo reactionary now. this isn't a good look.

Yes We Can & Yes We Should
Obama 08′

Will someone put her out of her misery?

Now, she is all out. Trying everything she can. She kept on saying how this is not about being a woman but in the end, she will use her one last forte.

Oh, and what about all those women who are voting only for you because you are on?…Are they not 'sexist'?

hey hillary:

why don't you shed another tear? maybe SOMEONE will comfort you……

(by the way, i'm a 31 year old woman who is ashamed this woman is playing the sexist card…..we've come way too far for this.)

This campaign had sexist and racial overtones throughout. Hillary only noted the sexism because it is to her benefit. How can she deny that racism played a part of this campaign when several of her surrogates (Namely Gov Ed Rendell) stated that some whites (in Penn) would not vote for a black man. That's racist. As is anyone that would not vote for Hillary because she is a women. There have been voters of both types during this election and for Hillary to not acknowledge that, she way out of touch.

What I would give to understand what is going on in Clinton's brain. I don't understand how someone as smart as she is can put out such flawed arguments

how can she say racism has not played a roll, once again this is an example of old washington politics, using whatever will make people feel sorry for them to win. the media always play unfair, thats nothing new.

humbly submitted

You know… Obama delt with racist attacks by elevating the level of debate and discussion through an incredible speech. Maybe Hillary would have gotten my vote if she had taken the sexism that her campaign experienced and used it to discuss the role gender plays in our society… just a thought. Stop complaining and see it as an opportunity… we, the voters, aren't stupid!

Hillary, you lost because you ran a poor campaign. That's the truth. Blaming it on sexism is pathetic.

To learn what you did wrong, grab a copy of Advertising for Dummies or Politics for Dummies - your choice - and read.

Hillary, I was all for you until you opened your bag of dirty tricks. I'm black and I did not seriously consider Obama in the beginning. I made the switch before Iowa and I've never looked back. You were my girl, Hillary. What happened? (I still love you but Barack has my vote).

It's always all about YOU, isn't it, Hillary. It's not your policies, or your mendacity, or your pandering that cause people to vote for someone other than you. It's YOU, isn't it?

It's only because you're female that the press calls you out on your lies . If you were a male whining about who gets the first question in the debates or if Obama needs another pillow, nobody would pay it any mind, right?

You're pathetic. Go away.

Hillary: You're behavior and demeanor is becoming SO undignified! Pitiful really.

Hillary will win big in Kentucky for the same reason she won big in WV and shall do so in every backward APPALACHIAN STATE. She wins the uneducated, gullible , ignorant individuals VOTE! Obama could have ran against Big Bird in either state……..Big Bird would have won!!!

Hillary is hoping that the Obama supporters will develop a 'buyers' remorse". I wonder if she would like a re-vote in CA or NY….to see which supporters are in fact having this so called 'remorse'!

I have noticed this as well. Like calling Senator Clinton, "Mrs Clinton"
The good ole boys want nothing to do with a Woman President.
The media ignores sexism but if there is anything close to racism then it is all over the media.
I guess us women are suppose to be use to it.

Ferraro is supporting her candidate with the wrong issue. As a teacher in high school, I have learned one thing about neurotic behavior. To Blame is to be neurotic.

As a woman this absolutely disgusts me. This type of stuff is one of the reasons more people such as myself don't support her.
The irony is that she is accusing everyone of being sexist while at the same time throwing out the race card (hard working white people) right along with her husband.

Senator Clinton, I use to have alot of respect for you. No More. You in fact are what every woman should be fighting against. I do not want my children and other young girls around the world to look to a someone who will lie, cheat, and try to steal in order to get ahead in life.

I will be so glad when you are no longer relevant (which happens to be today). I hope the people of New York are paying attention and will not re-elect you because you Madam do not deserve to hold public office.

True Feminist From NC

just because we don't like her, doesn't mean its sexism…..we just don't like HER…..

Point to anything said or written by anyone in the general media that said anything along the lines of "Can a woman even be president?" or "What is she doing out of the kitchen?"

I see this as a disgraceful ploy to recover after watching baldly racist comments giving Obama a boost when the people called them on it.

Hillary, I know your family has a hard time with this but now would be an excellent time to learn how to bow out gracefully.

Hillary Clinton has been the best candidate in this long primary election, is by far more competent to run against the Republicans in the general election, and is infinitely more qualified to be President of the United States than is Barack Obama.

Sexism has definitely been one part of the explanation as to the steeper hill Hillary has had to climb.

What else explains it? How about the way the Obama campaign has used the race card all along. Take a look at Shelby Steele’s A Bound Man: Why We Are Excited About Obama and Why He Can’t Win (Free Press). I've been accused of being a white male who is not ready for a black man to be President by Obama fans for no other reason than because I will not vote for a candidate who is too inexperienced for the office.

Of course, if Hillary Clinton is not the nominee of the Democratic Party, then John McCain will be our next President. So all this talk about race and gender is little more than academic.

HILLARY CLINTON ’08!

Due to the ignorant nature of some comments, we have been forced to delete or simply ignore some posts so as to protect ourselves and the public from malicious stupidity.

Actually, Hill, no one sees you as a woman, so it's definitely not gender-bias that's hurting you. Maybe it's, i dunno… your SCORCHED EARTH CAMPAIGNING? YOUR KITCHEN SINK STRAGETY? YOUR LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR TACTICS?

It's true…..Sadly it's true….I have seen too many ugly sexist comments on this blog eg. If she took care of her man he wouldn't cheat……She should be in the kitchen……A woman can't take care of the Country….it goes on and on!

Being for Obama does not make you a sexist, nor does being for HRC make you a racist. Obama brought new, fresh ideas that a lot of people believe in. That is why he is ahead.

Honestly, against any other candidate, HRC would have been a cake-walk to the nomination.

It ain't race or sex, it is change going on here.

It's that type of attitude that makes Hillary Clinton a desperate and untrustworthy candidate. If there have been any elements of sexism, they have been very minor. Now, I think the media should be careful on counting her out until June 3rd, but as for Mrs. Clinton, she needs to stop accusing the media of being sexist because she has been making the news herself with her nasty behavior towards Obama and her campaign's wild spin of the race, which in reality shows that her hopes are fading.

Margaret Thatcher had never used the gender card.

I agree…Hillary getting votes from WOMEN because she is a WOMAN is EXTREMELY sexist. There are none more racist or sexist than those in politics who then chastise the rest of us as being sexist or racist. Only in politics are gains and loses measured so heavily by race and gender!!! More hipocracy to come. Stay tuned!!

Oh Hillary where is your dignity? Don't you have any left? If you really want to make a statement for woman (real woman, those born with all the credentials) then step down with poise and dignity. Be graceful about it. Why throw away all the good things you and BIll had going for you. The younger generation doesn't know, or care about your past contributions to this country. But do it for the elderly and the woman. Do it for Chelsie. You don't want her to be laughed at for the rest of her life do you?

Oh my God!!! I have had enough of "if you don't vote Barrack, you're racist", "if you don't vote Hillary you're sexist". I expect this from the media, but the candidates themselves should have a little more self respect than to sensationalize these issues. I voted for Barrack because I believe he is a better candidate NOT because I don't want a female leader.

Where was she when the media bias against Senator Obama hit the most racist tone at times? She is such a hypocrite! When things happen to others, she acts like all is well but for some reason when the similar things happen to her, it is unacceptable and she gets all dismissive. Don't blame the message Hillary, blame the messenger and that is you! People don't like you not because they are sexist, I truly don't like you and don't respect you but I am a female too. You can't just label people just because they don't respect you. If you do, then hypocrite would be very appropriate for the label you get! Today, Senator Kennedy was diagnosed with something serious but I am sure you don't even care because God forbid if something is not about you. Will you call the media sexist because they are covering Senator Kennedy today when you are expected to "win" big in such a racist part of our country? That sure wouldn't surprise me! Have some grace, will you?

Again we see old political Clinton strategies. How disingenuous for Hillary to say that the race did not play role in the primaries when she and her husband kept bringing up race issues to scare off people from voting for Obama. Now that she is loosing the female vote to Obama we see again her strategy to exploit women's fears as if she is the only one that can address women’s concerns and everyday issues. Hillary stop exploiting voters’ fears!!!!

Well, ALICE, have you (as an older white woman (ever faced sexism?) Or are you a self hater too.

I DO believe that racism has played a MAJOR role in the campaign……….FOR OBAMA……..get real folks, when over 90% or your race as a minority votes for you, you can darn sure bet that it isn't because of your policies.

Next complaint from Hillary will be that the press emphasizes her pant suits - and that they highlighted Obama wearing blue jeans… then she will note that the press didn't mention her hair styling costs - remember when Bill held up air traffic at LAX for his haircut? She can start whining about the press' unfair treatment of her by not noting her manicure, pedicure, jewlery, … no gray hair at age 60…

Hillary Clinton does not deserve resect from many people not because she is a woman but because she is a Liar married with a Liar.

The press "reports negatively about Hillary" because she's losing. Face it, there's not much good news left for her campaign.

SHE SHOULD HAVE WON THIS RACE. That's the big news.

She had it all sewn up. Blaming the news media for bigotry against women is nothing more than a handy excuse. For Hillar it's a persona;ity problem not a gender problem

I am confused. It is obvious that so many women are voting for her solely for the reason they want to see a woman in the White House as president before they die, even though it is clearly obvious that she is NOT the right woman. So shouldn't she be spouting that sexism is working in her favor???

If you have been truly following the campaign of both candidates, you will see that Hillary is not saying anything about Obama being sexist. The MEDIA is sexist. This is in fact true! Everytime the television is on, reporters are negatively talking about her and how she is running her campaign. They believe Obama can do no wrong. Call a spade a spade. The media is sexist! Let's be for real those of you blinded by Obama, open your eyes! Even if you do "like" Obama, how about being honest in that she is being targeted by the Media because she is female.

Any blind person could see that from a mile away!

If anything, I think she has used sexism to her advantage. Exit polls have not shown that men are unwilling to vote for her because she is a woman unlike those that show that some whites won't vote for Obama. Yes of course there is sexism, especially online, but there is also racism and I have not seen one covered unfairly more than the other. Clinton needs to stop playing the gender card, especially this late in the primary. There really is no basis to this claim. If she were running against a white man I would be a bit more understanding, but these are two groups that are discriminated against, and in this case there is no evidence that Clinton being a woman is holding her back (women are over half of the democrats).

As an older feminist who is solidly behind Obama, I find this line of argument disingenuous. Senator Clinton is old enough to remember very clearly the degree sexism permeated our culture not that long ago. Sure, there will always be sexists, but that does not strike me as the main reason people have not chosen Sen. Clinton. Every day something new–he only wins "unimportant states", the unbelievable "I'm winning the popular vote" argument, the complete 180 on seating the MI and FL delegations. After nearly 20 years of defending both the Clintons from charges that seemed unfair, I officially retired as soon as the negative campaigning started.

This is sad - we are dividing the party further with these comments.

I personally did not vote for someone because of their race or gender, I find it very sad in this day and age people do.

Please VOTE DEMOCRAT! Our future depends on it.
A LOT of harm can be done in 4 years under McCain…..A LOT and George Bush has proven this already!

NOW YOU KNOW WOULD OBAMA WOULD BE LOOKED AT AS A BABY IF HE WAS SAYING THIS. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TELL HER TO STOP CRYING. HAVE SOME DIGNATY

Now watch the media fall all over itself to show how sexist its not.

Another example of what happens when news is dominated by viewer ratings. This is not a sporting event.

I am tired of this. If you support Obama, you're sexist. If you support Hillary, you're racist. Which one would you rather be?

SHE IS RIGHT THE MEDIA NOT ONLY IGNORED SEXISM BUT I THINK YOU ACTUALLY PROMOTED IT. LOOK WHAT IS HAPPENING ON MSNBC EVERY SINGLE NIGHT - THE GANG BANG FROM MATHEWS, RUSSERT, FINEMAN VIA ROVE TO THE AMALGAMATION OF BILL OLBERMANN AND KIETH O'REILLY AND HANNITY AND CRYSTAL FROM FOX NEWS
NON STOP HILLARY BASHING - PLS DO NOT TELL ME THAT IS NIT SEXISM.

I agree for any Jane… but you're Hillary CLINTON. You should have had this locked.
Don't blame the media, Obama folks, or anyone but yourself for losing.

Obamabots - stop the piling on already. You truly show your juvenile side which shows poorly for the Democratic Party. Remember, 17 Million people voted for Hillary, or about exaclty as many as voted for BHO. If a majority of us defect, McCain is your next President. You give us every reason to not support BHO. In fact, I believe I will write in Hillary's name in November. That way, at least I won't be forced to vote for McCain.

As a women, what I read between the lines is that Hillary is the one trying to play the gender card. Oh, please vote for the little old lady. It is an obligation for women to vote for me since I'm a women too. NOT! Hillary will try every trick in the book including cheating to get the nomination.

Please, Hillary. You were so close to bowing out gracefully, and now this. The only example of sexism that you and Ferraro can come up with is one moron with a sign in New Hampshire? But there was no racism?!? Really?!?

I started out as a Hillary supporter and was very much looking forward to having a woman for president. It's past due, IMO. As the issues came out and Hillary's campaign sunk to new lows every week, I found myself favoring Obama. Now that I've switched, am I sexist, too?!? Accept some blame and stop sabotaging your party.

Hillary,
People of the United States aren't sexist. They just don't like YOU or your husband. Now please go away.

Everytime I try to think something positive about Hillary she goes and says something stupid……or racist……or ignorant……or dumb…..or pandering…….or just plain untrue.

GO HOME HILLARY…….it is over.

Well now we see the women in her, complaining about sexiest comments and other nonsense. Is she taking notes from Geraldine Ferraro? My guess would be she looked into the Karl Rove playbook again!

There was a certain amount of sexism in the Democratic presidential campaign. But there was some racism, too.

But it is shameless for Mrs. Clinton to complain about it. For one,
she is married to an individual who by her own definition would be a sexist.

For another, the sexism issue cuts both ways: Clinton knows full well that Mr. Obama cannot really attack her as hard as he would attack a man. It would turn a lot of people off. Yet she has no problem hitting him full blast with questionably race baiting rhetoric.

Clinton reminds me of the girls in Kindergarten. They know you cannot hit them back, but they will slug you as hard as they can when no one is looking because you cannot really defend yourself.

Yesterday, it was Karl Rove. Today - it is Sexist Media. A few days back - He's Black and you know he is unelectable.

Does Hillary have any SHAME left .. If I were her, I would have committed suicide by now rather than living with such background.

Examples of IMMORALS equals CLINTONS in my book

Just what has been sexist? Because you are a woman people are not allowed to point out mistakes, miss-statements and the like? I would say the media has been more than fair to Clinton. I would like to see one example of sexism that has gone on? Maybe its sexist to say that woman support HIllary more than Obama. Give me a break.

Bill Clinton made Hilary Clinton to sacrifice her career as US President not the Press or Medias!

there has been no element of sexism in this contest at all…at least not in an explicit and obvious way, which is what she seems to be referring to…there is always an underlying element of discrimination, but she acts like she's been the victim of sexist attacks…give me a break…this is laughable, even coming from hillary clinton's mouth…

Hillary makes me ashamed to be a woman…

it's time she look in the mirror for the reason she finds herself in this position. I'm sure she can find blame anywhere she wants but she had all the advantages from the start and if it weren't for the brilliant campaign run by the upstart with a message the country was ready to hear she could have spun herself to the WH. If the positions were reversed this would have been over in February.

Ms. Parker was absolutely correct when stating that "she is a monster". She is utterly shameless. It is time to dispatch Sen. Clinton's campaign to the great beyond. She claims that she is best qualified to lead yet shuns responsibility for a poorly planned and executed campaign as well as the horrendous fiscal management. Yet she claims that she is uniquely qualified to manage the economy and the nation. Sadly, her pattern is cast blame everywhere whenever thngs go poorly. After all, deficient results are not her fault. All would be weel if not for all the consprators working against her.

I feel that there has been far more racism than anything else. If Hillary feels there was sexism, most of the blows she's suffered were brought on by her. She has done more harm to herself than anyone else. The media gave her more help than any of the other opponents, she continously attacked Barack Obama, even when he in his gentlemanly fashion tried to ignore her. She has played every card in the deck and still refuses to go away which is what most of America wants to see her do. Playing the victim when you've slashed your own wrist will not do. Excuses, excuses, excuses.

It was Hillary who said "We can make history by electing the first woman President", she has used the gender card to garner votes since the beginning of her campaign. Hillary would not have gotten this far in the Primary If she wasn't a woman. She also used the race card "I have the white vote". Shame on Hillary, shame shame.

IF Hillary is so against her quotes she should revisit her nasty kitchen sink quotes strategy.
She starts whining and making up false statements when loosing.
Forget her math where did she go to school ?Her math lowers the meaning of ementary.
Hillary 's kitchen sink dipping so low as to such things as accusing Obama not patriotic of not wearing a FLAG PIN but take note she isn't wearing one .
She has bragged on McCain 's great leadership for president and now look who she is quoting Carl Rove ?
HILLARY IS A REPUBLICAN "A GOLDWATER GIRL AND QUOTES HERSELF AS GOLDILOCKS?

GOOGLE THIS -

"THE HIGHEST ROAD the last word + Anna Quindlen "

Why doesn't she scold herself, and her staff, for running a lousy, disingenuous campaign?

Impossible for a candidate to be responsible for all the off the cuff remarks of his or her supporters. And sexism is still far more common than acknowledged. Barack Obama was wrong to call the reporter 'sweetie', but he did apologize for that slip. Moreover, he has worked hard to de-emphasize race and appeal to all Americans, women and men.

For one, he never has claimed hard-working 'male' voters as his constituency as Hillary did with 'white' voters. Likewise, despite the underlying similarity of their policies, Obama has never found it necessary to pander to voters using the chest-thumping stereotypically masculine dogwhistles that Clinton has–'obliterate Iran', the guns & drinking & 'good-old-boy' persona, 'McCain and I are the only ones fit to be 'commander in chief', etc.

Obama has as much a claim to being 'feminist' in his policies as Hillary does–he needs to better highlight his strengths in this area. And women for Obama need to speak up against Hillary (& Geraldine) trying to make gender a wedge issue.

HRC will use whatever it takes to get attention and to persuade certain demographics to vote her way. Let's see, earlier it was the "working, hard-working, white" voters. This week she's trying to anger women and make them vote for her. Shameless manipulation! What's worse is that so many people seem to enjoy being manipulated. So, let's all just wait and see what group she goes after next week. Stay tuned, same time/same channel!

Choose your battles wisely. Oh yeah, by the way "If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen". Or did you forget Bill and Hill. You said it best!!! 50yr. old Female!!!!!!!

She ought to chastise herself for reliance upon Karl Rove advice to stay in the race. K Rove is a loser. He was an advisor to President Bush and everyone knows how things look for GBW. Hillary could have done better if she not two-handed. On the Republican and the Demoncrats plateforms at the same time. She does not want to listen to the Demoncrats and she running on their ticket for the presidency.
She listening to the Republican and not running for them as a candidate. It's just funny how she wants to eat with two hands at the same time. Karl Rove will not help HRC but mislead you like he did to Bush.

Waa Waa Waa!

Obama has to deal with racism, and he doesn't whine about it. Imagin if he handled it like someone like Al Sharpton.

Hillary has to deal with sexism, and all she does is perpetuate the stereotypes by whining.

To plagiarize the movie "A League Of Their Own":

"There's no crying in politics!"

Hillary is poll driven.
Did you see th pole where Obama is gaining support from her base?
That is why she is trying to drive another wedge

Hilary is sad! I feel sorry for her.

If sexism was not an issue, what is this buzz all about ? Where there is a smoke, there is a fire indeed.

I can't believe my ears…Hilliary whinning???? Maybe she should get out of the kitchen if she can't take the heat!

Oh please! Hillary suffering again at the hands of the media. Obama hasn't faced racism? Hillary and Bill's well documented jibes have wounded Barak Obama personally and have jaundiced some of the public against nominating a black man.
Hillary should stop the pathetic whining. Perhaps her defeat to Barak has been orchestrated by the "Great Right Wing Conspiracy."

HOW ABOUT MICHELLE OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT AFTER HER HUSBAND SHE IS FAR MUCH BETTER THAN HILLARY SHE SPEAKS THE TRUTH I WILL VOTE FOR HER 24/7.

If Hillary and her supporters think the press is sexist, how do they think John McCain will treat women if he wins in Nov? Voting for McCain will put the womens movement back 30 years. He will appoint conservative judges to the Supreme Court. Great women have worked hard for Hillary Clinton to be where she is today, lets not forget them.

Senator Clinton needs to read the Chicago Tribute - Their is an article on KENTUCKY - "they will not vote for a black man" - What makes her think that she is so special. Senator Obama has had to deal with racism from the media and from many communities throughout this country. We have not heard him complain nor whin. Your words
"If you cannot take the Heat then get out of the Race." It is your attitude that has led many many women to vote against you - you think that all you had to do was walk out and the people would bow down and you would not have to deal with anything.

OBAMA (08)

WHAT ELSE IS NEW. WE ALL KNOW WE LIVE IN A SEXIST AND RACIST SOCIETY. THE RHING WE TRY TO DO HERE IN NORTH CAROLINA IS TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM HEAD-ON. UNLIKE OHIO, WEST VA. AND PA., WE DON'T MAKE PROMISES AND NOT LET OUR ATTITUDES GET IN THE WAY OF WHAT IS BEST FOR OUR COUNTRY AND STATE. SOMETIMES IT TAKE MANY LIFETIMES TO CHANGE BUT WE HAVE CHANGED HERE. JUST LOOK AT OUR STATE ELECTIONS. WE GOT A FEMALE RUNNING FROM THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY FOR GOVERNOR. IT IS OUR OPNION THAT IF ANY OTHER FEMALE EXCEPT HRC WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, NO MATTER WHAT COLOR, SHE COULD HAVE GIVEN MR. OBAMA A HARD TIME IN WINNING OUR STATE. TO BLAME GENDER AND RACE ON A LOSING CAUSE IS JUST INSULTING. HRC FROM THE BEGINNING THOUGHT SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT SHOULD BE THE DEMS. CHOICE. SHE NEVER THOUGHT THAT THAT POSITION HAD TO BE EARNED. WITH HONESTY AND GRACE. SHE BROUGHT, ALONG WITH BILL, ALL HER PROBLEMS ON HERSELF. TO BRING THESE THINGS TO LIGHT NOW IS JUST PURE EVIL. HER WHITE PEOPLE STATEMENTS WE THOUGHT WAS BAD BUT THIS TAKE THE CAKE OF EVIL TO ITS NTH DEGREE. SHE IS IN DENIAL AND WANT TO BLAME THE PEOPLE FOR NOT ACCEPTING A LIAR. GEORGE BUSH WAS ENOUGH.

Here is today Cafferty file question:

To all who state Sen Obama won't win come November can you tell me what you will do if he does?

(please stop wasting your energy dismissing Sen. Obama) He won or is winning FAIR and SQUARE.

Personally, I think it's all a bunch of baloney. Many women are voting for Clinton because she's a woman, many black people are voting for Obama because he is black and many white men are voting for McCain because he's white. And if they are not voting for McCain's whiteness, they are voting for Hiillary's whiteness :)) (seriously, I've heard people say that if they don't get McCain, at least by having Hillary there will be a white person in office). This is all a big game to trick people out of their vote. I seriously think that the most sincere of this bunch is probably Obama but hey, we'll see how it turns out in the end. I just want the crappy economy to turn around and I believe that it will when we get a new president in the office.

Another Clinton Whine!!! WOW! She runs a piss poor campaign where she thinks she is the annoited nominee of the democratic party and when an upstart kicks the crap out of her 13 times in a row she claims sexism. Hey Hillay supporters don't think for one minute she believes the crap she is saying now.

You can't in one instance say I am a stronger candidate than Obama and will be a experienced president on day one and complain of sexism when the power was always in her hands to win or lose with.

Women all over America should be ashamed that Hillary Clinton is the best representation of a Female Presidential Candidate they could produce. Ladies you could do so much better than her but you fail to see that in this " I am woman, he was mean to me, they're all sexist men" mindset that you carry. At some point you will run out of excuses and men to blame for your poor choices

Maybe the fact that things didn't go well with the Clinton campaign has more to do with the fact that she started the campaign with a 58% negative rating across the country - and it hasn't changed much.

It's Hillary's hormonally driven older female voters who say "it's either her or it's no one" … who are truly guilty of sexism. How many Geraldine Ferraro like women do you suppose are only voting for her because she is a woman? The number of women voting for Hillary because she is a woman greatly out number the males who are voting for Obama because he is a man! My guess her sexist voters are probably equal to her racist voters! She is such a devisive candidate that she should never have entered the race in the first place … shame on her for her Bushlike fear-mongering! She has been a great weapon for the GOP during the democratic primaries.

I agreed with Clinton up until where she said that racism is not a factor in the presidential race. Who's she trying to fool here? There are videos all over the place of voters who said that they don't trust a black man as president, or think Obama is a secret Muslim or something. I think it's pretty clear that both racism and sexism are factors in the Democratic race.

SHE HAS NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SHAME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHECK THIS OUT Gallup Poll - Election News
Key Clinton Constituencies Moving Toward Obama NEW May 20, 2008
Barack Obama’s widening lead over Hillary Clinton among Democrats nationwide brings with it important gains among Clinton’s core constituencies, including women, whites, and the non-college educated. Obama is now the overwhelming favorite among 18- to 29-year-olds, men, and postgraduates

OMGA Hillary shut up!!!!!!! I am a woman and i find her accusations ridicilous. Hello everybody do you see her trend…… when she is not winning or if the spot light isnt on her she calls out sexism. Well hillary if you do something constuctive maybe she would get some media attention! Hillary please stop being a grinch….. now this is what i call a double standard. This is hillarys favorite quote: "if you cant stand the heat get out the kitchen! "

Come on Hillary! You can't add nor follow the Democratic rules. Please GIVE IT UP!!!

Tom
Concord Il.

Her good friend Ferraro is right in one thing- neiter her nor Clinton would reach so far if they would not be females and I am saying that as female.She have run whole time , when ever feelt loosing ground under her feet the same old -O POOR ME NO ONE IS NICE TO ME.Unfortunately her poor me- mighty me did not fly this time . That is a fact.Hilary should look self in the miror and explain self how she have scrude up , and get back to us who once upoon time were willing to support her!!!!!

She says racism has not been a factor but she also says that Obama cannot win the white vote. Which is it? You can't have it both ways here.

My perception is that the Democrati Party has intern war leadership against the Clintons. You all will see very soon in incoming years. Jelous about they power in democrats fans.
Hillary Clinton is the best candidate in the democraty party….. will see after novembe 4th, 2008.

Wow. I have been saying this from day one. Americans seem to accept sexism. They just accept it and ignore it. They are more concerned with racism. Obama supporters are most guilty of this. They believe that everyone is a racist if you don't vote for Obama. They fail to realize that sexism STILL exists.

Well somebody should tell Mrs Clinton if she believe only sexism plays a part in this Democratic presidential race she don't know what time it is. Racism playes a bigger role in this presidential race. when 92% of European American in west Virginia vote for mrs. Clinton race is a factor.

I just don't think Hillary is a good choice for Prez! It doesn't make me sexist.

This is the final straw. The fact Hillary is a women has absolutley nothing to do wirth why she has lost this nomination. She lost it because of some of Bill Clintons remarks and some of her pandering remarks and negative attacks. Hillary should just look in the mirror.

Its a little late for this "ism" Hillary. Would this be a card that you would be playing if you were President??? How about some of the foriegn countries and leaders that you would be dealing with??? Would the Saudi's and Muslims be exposed to your sexism issues because of their cultures??? You should have thought about all of this BEFORE you made the committment to run. I do not recall Rice or Albright complaining of sexism ????????

The same people who spew hatred and animosity when anyone dares breathe the word "Clinton" will swear that Obama lost (in November) because of racism. This is my prediction!! However, Obama will lose because only the young (young people had a greater opportunity for higher education than older people) and the black have been bamboozled by Obama's pretty words.

Yet another desperate attempt to find her place in the spotlight. Talk about pathetic….

This latest tirade to justify Senator Clinton's apparent defeat in the nomination process is another frightening example of her complete break with reality.

It has been reported that Sen. Clinton declined an interview with the New York Times to discuss gender and the presidential race.

She chooses to ignore the topic throughout the campaign…then lambasts the media for their sexist and mysognistic ways…and then finally claims she's IMPERVIOUS to the insults.

The general concensus of three dictionaries is that the word means: NOT CAPABLE OF BEING AFFECTED OR DISTURBED.

Clearly, the senator is both affected AND disturbed…by the comments and, sadly, in general.

I decided it was best to just ignore the comments related to a LACK OF RACISM in the campaign. How does one comment on this after the senator's comments about her own supporters being white and hard-working.

It is sad that Sen. Hillary Clinton finally said something about the press behavior that includes sexism. In my view, the Senator from Illinois has been equally guilty with his free sexist attacks against Sen. Clinton because Obama knew fully that what has become the Obama press would allow him to freely navigate through out his campaign in any manner that he or his campaign committee chose to follow. To make matters worse, most news networks hired sexy woman in their questionable attire that represented woman. When the media chooses those with ambition and does not report fair news, then American citizens have to wonder how worthless the media has become in getting truthful news.

Racism is more prevalent than sexism in this campaign and do you see Obama himself crying out racism? Just admit you're a sore loser with too much pride to lose.

Oh now she's a victim of sexism?!? PULEEEZE!!!! She's one of the most powerful women in Washington. This victim shpeel she's slinging doesnt wash. Hang it up Hillary with whatever dignity you have left.

Although I support Sen Obama I do not think that Sen Clinton should drop out of the race just yet. It is true that sexism AND racism most definitely exist in this country and both have played a role in this primary. These are factors that BOTH candidates have had to endure considering that they are the first viable African-American and first viable female candidates for the presidency.

If Obama were not the front runner I would not find it acceptable for him to play the race card nor do I find it acceptable for Sen Clinton to play the gender card at this point. I do not think that it would be good for the party for either of them to make that argument right now.

I would like for Sen Clinton to remain in the race but I think she should be careful of the arguments that she makes and bow out gracefully at the appropriate time without complaining about mistreament by the media. In all fairness the media has mistreated both candidates at their convenience. Face it folks the main concern of all media is RATINGS.

Racism hasn't played a role but sexism has? What planet is she on? Race has obviously played a role. Via exit polling we can all see that. In fact, race has been crystal clear in some polls ie. WV, however sexism has not been as
