CNN

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.

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?

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 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 obvious. This women is incredulous. I was much more neutral at the beginning of this race, not anymore.

Can someone please give me ONE EXAMPLE (just one) of how the media or BO is sexist?

If by sexist, HRC means explaining the reality that she has to win 80% of the remaining delegates (including supers) to even have a chance, and thus, is probably going to loose – then this Country is the most sexist country in the world!!! Gimme a break, its not sexism, its REALITY!!! Since when did a mathmatical deficity = sexism???

If the media is hard on HRC its because she has BROUGHT THIS UPON HERSELF! She is the most polarizing, sneaky, negative, untrustworthy and corrupt politician in recent memory.

I remember in MSNBC one contributor said some thing about Hillary and her Daughter
Really the media is mean to her
Hillary 08

I can't don anything but laugh at this.

she's digging herself a hole.

Give me a break!

What will she come up with next?

– to OKC Doc Struble – I could not have said it better!

Sorry Hillary...if Obama is not complaining about your Race related negative comments ... you should for sure not complain about sexism.

The fact is simple: YOU LOST , OBAMA WON

Senator Hillary Clinton promoted sexism in this campaign. Her "let's make history" speeches are about electing a woman president. Not the best necessarily, but a woman. I personally don't care if my president is male, female, or transvestite. I want the best president.
It seems to me that Hillary Clinton is the sexist in this campaign.

So sexism is taboo and unfair, but Hillary Clinton will play the race card in a second. Hillary Clinton is a disgrace and it's not because she is a woman. It's the content of her character, her lack of morals, and her blatant disregard for truth. Hillary Clinton is shameless and disgusting.

Hillary wasn't yelling sexism during the first 10 months of the campaign when the press was pegging her a sure bet for the nominee. She is running out of things to blame on her obvious defeat.

She is beginning to look pathetic.

Pleeeeeease! Enough hypocrisy and see through politics. Continuing to drive a wedge with divisive politics. As for mysogynists, I think you are married to one.

Jack .. Please give me a break this is hypocrisy at is best. How can Sen Clinton utter those comments about sexism without also adding that race has had a major role in this campaign. If the tables were turn with the delegate math the general election would be in full swing. Can someone please tell her that the FAT LADY is on her third ballot and she wants the stage to her self.

I don't think sexism alone explains why Clinton is behind–I think she is losing because she ran a negative race and reinforced the negative perceptions some voters already had of her.

I've been watching this campaign very closely and have not noticed sexist attacks emanating directly from the opposing campaigns. As an Obama supporter who is also committed to fairness, this makes me happy. I HAVE seen an outpouring of sexist ugliness in newspaper columns, blogs, and posted in comments here on CNN and elsewhere.

Speaking for myself, I think the U.S. should have moved beyond such stuff decades ago. Speaking as an extremely minor cog in Obama's election campaign here in California, I wish that voters who support him would refrain from making sexist remarks about Hillary Clinton. It doesn't promote the kind of campaign Sen. Obama wants to run; it doesn't help him in any way; and it antagonizes people who will be voting (or not) in November.

Sexism and racism both....and probably unavoidable, given Obama and HIllary are respective "firsts" in their candidacy for president and so dredge up the sediment of bias among both voters and those who report the news. As a highly educated (Ph.D.) boomer female, I have encountered a whole lot of gender bias across my life, including (and especially) during childhood.

As for sexism, in the current primary contest that has definitely been exacerbated by the MSM who have been, shamelessly and with fawning adulation, actively hustling Obama for the presidency. Whatever happened to unbiased reporting of the news?

As a result, I have gotten to the point where I no longer watch CNN, MSNBC or CBS for news or anything else, and I have only watched NBC for their weekly episode of "ER" and nothing more. I will sometimes watch ABC news and programming because they are more objective. During the current primary season, those networks have totally lost credibility with me and, as a result, they have also lost any respect I might have had for them.

Hillary remains my candiate of choice....and that has very little to do with gender. If she does not get the nomination, then I will settle for McCain.

I will NOT vote for Obama.....and that is not based on race. Simply put, he is not qualified to be president. Let him come back in about 10 years after he learns more about life and politics, and I'll look at him again and see what's there in terms of track record and character. At this time, however, the only vote I can give him is the vote of...... NO CONFIDENCE.

Ms. Ferraro and Senator Clinton are sadly mistaken. Mrs. Ferraro is just plain said. Yes, sexism and racism both exist in America today and BOTH have reared their ugly heads in this Presidential Campaign. I am a 47 year old black woman residing in Florida. I do not believe the Florida or Michigan votes should be counted because rules should count for something. I was originally a supporter of John Edwards because I liked his message. When Edwards dropped out, I became a supporter of Senator Obama because he has proven to be a superior candidate in every regard, not because he is black. Ethnically speaking, white women who will vote against Senator Obama are only punishing their children and grandchildren. Electing Senator McCain will overturn Roe v. Wade and send countless more yound Americans off to die in wars that should not be waged. I too am not against all wars, just dumb ones. Generationally speaking, Ms. Ferraro is pathetically out of touch. Senator Obama was brushing the whole Philadelphia debate experience off his shoulders. That debate was anything but. It was not about any issues of importance.

Would you like some cheese with that whine?

Never has a presidential candidate complained so much. There is no way she or her husband EVER be allowed in the White House again.

Hillary,

a quiz for you ......... which famila has repeated the quotation most in the past two months "if you can stand the heat get out of kichen"

HAHAHAHA... ok, where did she come up with this one? That Farrwell lady? Look Mrs. Clinton, are you not the one that said "most of the blue collar, hard working Americans" are voting for you? Aren't the majority of them men or am I crazy?

Where does she come up with these (spur of the moment) comments? I don't understand! This will honestly be her downfall.

I am an african-american women and I know that Racism has played a major role in this presidential campaign. Sexism, Not !!!!! She and Bill and their supporters have bought up race on multiple occasions and have been most devisive thoughout this entire campaign. I will never vote for or support her!

This smacks of desperation.

It is only in the waining stages that this is claimed.

Clinton sqaundered the Clinton Brand by running an offensive, and terrible campaign. Fuled by her husband, a shell of his former self trying to racially divide this nation, when the AA community used to be squarely behind him.

Mark Penn sabatoged, indirecty, her campaign with his ties to Columbia.

Then Clinton herself sandbagged her campaign with "small states don't count" but then they do (WV, KY) and popular vote doesn't count, but now it does. Then Bosnia sniper issue, gas tax pandering, "hard working, white voter" comments led to her being viewed as not trustworthy.

No along comes sexism.

The real issue was that her people never planned for a post Super Tuesday campaign. And this has cost them the nomination.

SHUT!!!! UP!!!!! GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry is Hillary still in this race?

nice try

First, I love both Hillary and Obama. I think both would be great. However, I have to agree with her on this. I think the media has been a little sexist.

Either way, the most important thing to me is to have a one of these two elected. Even if my first choice is not on the ticket.

Sadly Hillary you lost not because you are a woman, you lost this race because of your campaign behaviour. You deserved to lose.

Stop being a victim, there are far more deserving victims than you.

I'm a (white) woman supporting Obama. Should I protest against myself and all my female friends and relatives under the age of 60 who are also supporting Obama?

Clinton's cry of sexism is, at this point in time, BALONEY. It's about as valid as OJ blaming his legal/criminal troubles on racism.

LOOSERS GRUMBLE. WHAT ELSE DO YOU EXPECT TO HEAR FROM HER.

IT'S ALL OVER TODAY

IT'S BETTER YOU START LEARNING HOW TO CRY RATHER THAN WHINNING

THE PRESS WILL SOON TAKE YOUR FACE OFF THE PAPER, COS YOU ARE DONE. LETS START TO SEE WHEN MC BUSHCAIN WILL PILL COLOURS AND LIVE THE RACE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MAIN ELECTION.

BYE BYE HILLAY

TILL WE MEET AGAIN
GOD BE WITH YOU, AT LEAST YOU WILL HAVE ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE TO MAKE PEACE WITH GOD AND START BEEN A DEVOTED CHRISTAIN..INCREASE YOUR FAITH COS POLITICS ALMOST DESTROYED YOU

Oh grow up Hillary. It's not that the media is sexist, it's that we just DON'T LIKE YOU!!!!!

Just becasue CNN has negative stories about Clinton doesn't mean they are being biased. What it means is Hillary should take the hint and quit. The news is negative about her because that is the way it is.

What else will you complain about Hillary. You already have a problem with math and the Demotratic rules. Please give it up!!!

Clintons Past, Obama Future, McCain like me, Hillary Bad, Obama Good, McCain Old, Apple Pie, Flag, No Flag,

You idiots who call yourselves Republican adn Democrats are just plain stupid. I hope this country survives

It's not because you're a woman that I won't vote for you. It's because I don't like you, or what you respresent. That has nothing to do with your gender, its your personality. I love women. I think a woman like Kathleen Sebelius would be better suited to run this country. at least she doesn't lie every day.

Newsflash: Hillary has lost this election. The good old fashioned way... Barack Obama won more delegates. The DNC rules doesn't give a rip about popular vote, or electability, or experience, or which states you've won, or who your husband is, or what type of pink pant suits you wear. Delegates. That's the name of the game. Obama won. Period. The end. CNN can keep on keepin' on with their coverage of this thing, but it's over. Over. Done. Election won by Obama. Now let's all, as Democrats who realize that McCain is simply another 4 years of Bush war waging, home foreclosure, tex cuts to the wealthy, and unconstitutional behavior, let's all vote for Obama in November. Let's turn the page on this NeoCon nightmare we've been living in for the past 7 years.

To Hillary 08

You should check your history. Victoria Woodhull was the first woman to run for president back in 1872. In 1972 Shirley Chisolm ran...please check your facts.

Hillary is just a candidate gone from bad to worse. Sexism has nothing to do with it.

Clinton's sex has nothing to do with why she will not be the democratic nominee for president. It has everything to do with her moral character. Too many people don't trust her, or her husband. They've left a bad taste in too many people's mouths. But for the democrats it doesn't make any difference because Obama will not be elected president anyway. McCain will be elected President.

Because there's nothing–absolutely nothing–about Barack Obama that could cause anyone to discriminate against him for any reason. Ever.

Oh yes. Once again Hillary points her finger everywhere except at herself for why she is such a LOSER!

I am a white male. I support Obama over Hillary because I am willing to take a chance on change. I believe he can accomplish more than Hillary. Sexism has nothing to do with it. If Hillary should some how fair and square win the nomination, then I will vote for her. On another note. I still see many who say they will vote for McCain if Hillary does not win. Please, do not call yourself a democrat. A true democrat would vote for either candidate. I do not care for the idea that you would be more than willing to put up with higher food and gas prices, send more and more young men and women to Iraq to die. The sons and daughters, moms and dads, husbands and wifes, that you are willing to put in harms way because your candidate did not win boggles ones mind. Be real proud of your selfish intentions. Please register as a republican, the demcrates don't want you. Oh. Please go out and brag in public what you did and see the response you get. Talk is cheap. Back it up. Say it face to face in public instead of hidding on forums.

In the words of Keith Olberman.."Shut the hell up HRC!"

Unfortunately at this late stage of the game HRC must have any media coverage that her lackluster campaign can muster. It's a pity that it's come to stooping to the lowest possible level to receive media exposure. I will be so happy once the last primary election takes place. I've grown exhausted with these tactics. Earlier quoting Rove, heralding the Fox network, and now we're just back to plain, old blaming the press. Some on wake me when this is over yawn. When does it all stop?

It's not A woman we object to, it's THAT woman we object to.

Sexisim charge is true. But wasn't it her husband who injected race into the campaign. To deny it now is dellusional!!!

I'm a 48 year old white American woman that would never vote for Hillary Clinton. Even my 63 year old mother-in-law voted for Barack Obama. To all Clinton woman supporters you do not speak for me. I won't vote for a candidate just because she is a woman.

OBAMA 08

It's highly obvious that Hillary is right. Sexism is so deeply rooted in our society that most of us don't even realize it's going on. But let me just point out one simple thing. Look at the pictures on this site of Hillary, and then look at the pictures of Barack. Enough said.

What negative press? All they have said is that she has no viable chance of getting a lead in delegates? I have never heard anything that could be perceived as sexist.

I'm an Obama supporter, but would vote for Clinton if she wins the nomination. I'm really at a loss to those who are so anti Obama or anti Clinton. Why on earth would anybody want another bush-like person in the whitehouse.

In any political race (primary or general) someone must lose and someone must win. Why all the sore losers?

One more thing to add.

If he were losing, I could never picture Obama making a claim of racism as being the true reason.

Clinton being a woman has nothing to do with my disgust for her.

Oh, please. If anything, the media has treated her with kid gloves. If she were a man, she would have been out of the race as soon as the math was apparent...like Huckabee, Romney, etc.

There is no doubt that sexism is alive and well in America. You may not want to hear it, but Ferraro is exactly right. "Iron my shirt" is every bit as bad as "shine my shoes". It is demeaning of the position Hillary has attained and all she has achieved.

Just the fact that pointing it out is called "whining" gives great insight into the problem. If someone makes a racist remark, nobody refers to it as whining to point out that unacceptable behavior. But a woman complaining about a sexist remark is considered a bore...being a crybaby. She is "whining" and being a bad sport. Being too sensitive...like "women" are so prone to be.

Think about it....belittling a woman by reminding her that she should be doing the laundry instead of running for the office of the presidency is just as offensive as inferring that a black man is not equal to a white man. Sexism is the male attempt to "keep a woman in her place" and it is every bit as offensive as any type of racism.

Unfortunately, sexism is a more rampant form of bigotry and is still acceptable in our society–even among women.

Anyone with an open-mind – can truely see that there has been sexism in the campaing and Yes, there has been racism on both sides.... Which is so unsettling to me– this is 2008 and we are still talking about gender and race..... it's a shame....

This is my latest disappointment with Hillary. To deny that race has played a role in the campaign is dellusional!!!!

I am also confused by Hillary supporters who indicate they will vote for McCain if Obama gets the Dem. nomination! Are you folks not Democrats!!?? Would you really prefer to cut off your nose just to spite your face?

McCain is not an independent! He is a Bush Republican! He has sold out any "maverick inclinations" in him to pander to the right-wing conservative base of the Republicans. His reversal on the tax cuts, his speech on appointing conservative judges, his denial of not having voted for Bush, etc. all speak to this pandering.

Obama is a black man running for president. He has received Secret Service protection earlier than any other candidate in history. His life, his wife's life and the lives of their two daughters are being threatened every day. Would not only a patriot go through this!?

Don’t Obama and Hillary agree on most major issues!?

Thus, the questions become: Are you more racist than Democrat!?
Are you more racist than pro choice!? Are you more racist than anti-tax cuts for the rich!?

Earth to Hillary, earth to Hillary: It's over, we're beaming you up.

Clinton started this race with a 30 point lead, and now she has a 20 point defecit. Unless she's arguing that its a newflash that she's female, it seems that everyone has been perfectly willing to support a female candidate on equal grounds. But last I checked, her gender hasn't changed in the last six months, and its not the reason why she's suddenly past tense.

Sexism 101:

Obama points out racism – brave, forward thinking, champion, hero
Hillary points out sexism – whining, sad, weak, calculating

I think the a very significant difference between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama is shown in fact that Hillary can complain about sexism being shown toward her...which I agree is very true. However, she can't acknowledge the fact that racism being a part of the campaign and directed toward Obama. Obama has done nothing but be gracious and give her credit for her hard work for fighting through the obstacles that she has faced. He has repeatedly said that the race should continue when others were trying to push her to the side.

She can't even acknowledge a racist element to some things that were said or have happened? She has zero credibility! At least Obama would acknowledge both sides of the issue.

blame all that went wrong for you on your mate !!

He did the most damage to you...even CLINTON name is mud now !!

you know, hillary was making a good point........until she said she didn't believe racism had been an issue in this campaign.

I will ONLY VOTE FOR HILLARY OR MCCAIN. There is NO other candidate come November!

Wake up Obamabots. You know it's over either way the cookie crumbles.

Back in 2000 the democratic presidency was snatched away by the republicans because of the so called "technicalities" or "rules" designed by people in power. The same people who handed the presidency to George W Bush that was clearly the biggest mistake of mankind. This country is in no need of another "regular kinda guy" or someone who appeals like the coolest candidate. Florida and Michigan needs to be counted because those people specifically casted they very own constitutional right to vote for whom they believe in would be the best candidate, and that is HILLARY CLINTON., Yes Barack Obama is ahead based on rules but majority of those people who voted for him earlier on did not know all these things we know now about him. Contrasting with George Bush again, knowing what we know now about him would have save this country from loosing so many fundamental things in life such as our country`s wealth, reputation, allies, jobs and most of all those 4000 plus young people who sacrificed themselves for someone`s EGO and arrogance. It is not worth reliving it all over again. DNC need to realize that we need to put someone not only can beat JOHN MCCain but also someone who will not disgrace the DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Our Beloved Country was loved by so many when we had the CLINTONS in the White House, why not let them clean up again after a BUSH's Mess. They did it back in the 90`s they will do it again now for us. HILLARY is by far the most qualified person for the job. As for the superdelegates if they are going to based their decision based on how the pledged delegate count from the PRIMARIES, then they shouldn't be what they are suppose to be ., and that is someone that can use their judgment and will to help elect the strongest not someone who is popular among young people that has not been reliable in making this kind of decision. THE BIGGEST DECISION we all NOW face as americans. MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA should count, POPULAR VOTE goes to HILLARY and we need her as our DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE.

It is really sad to see Hilary clinton continuin to devide the democratic party with by causing her backers to hate B.obama ,in this way she will make sure that he do not get enough votes to win the white house and she will then say I KNEW THAT HE COULD NOT BEAT MC WHOEVER.Then in four years time she will say now you all can give me a chance and i will show you that i can beat P.MC WHOEVER

Hillary you are a sour looooooosssssseeeerrrrr.

OBAMA 2008.

Ferraro is right, if someone had said to Obama shine my shoes the media would have been talking about it for weeks!! For months the media has been pushing Obama over Hillary.Building up Obama and tearing down Hillary. Shame on the media. Vote McCain and Hillary for 2012. They did the same to Gore and Kerry lets teach they that we have power too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

clinton who next are you going to blame for losing? your pets at home? chelsea?bill? or your mom?you have the right to blame anyone ,,dear,,,just as you have the right to lose to an underdog,,,things sometimes go the way we never expect,,,but its not the end of time,,as long as its for the best,,,so cheers up,, usa is not a royal or monarch country okay?,,,so get this into your head and carry on,,God bless america,,,God bless me

No racism effects but yes sexism effects? Thanks Whinillary. I agree she is going against the tide, but don't diminish that Obama has done the same. None of the other presidential candidates on either side whined nearly this much when eventually they got pushed out of the race. Poor baby.

When the right woman comes along, she will get elected.

Finally. Thank God she finally said it...and blew the shrouds right away from her own ridiculous bigotry. It wasn't bad enough that Geraldine Ferraro said it; Ferraro doesn't have enough credibility left to be taken too seriously.

There's a simple fact that HRC–and many of her most ardent supporters–have failed to grasp: it's not OK anymore to expect someone to vote for you on the basis of their gender. In a campaign that promised to be about 'ideas', the one that I keep hearing loud and clear from HER is that her 'gender' is the reason why she is trailing. "Sisters UNITE! Vote for the Lady in the Pants Suit because she's one of YOU!"

Ridiculous. I'm more than happy to vote for a woman, if she's the best candidate. HRC isn't. Plain and simple. And this kind of stuff just keeps proving it. It's the same sort of "I'm a uniter, not a divider" crap we heard from George Bush. Yeah...I can't wait to vote for more of that!

Let's try this again CNN:

The Obama campaign volunteers receive bomb threats on an almost daily basis. They have doors slammed in their faces by people with pre-civil-rights Jim Crow attitudes. They are told that Hillary has the "white vote" by the candidate herself, but there is no racism!! This while Senator Obama calmly thanks his volunteers and reminds them that this is not the general feeling in America.

Meanwhile no one on Clinton's volunteer staff has complained of ANY sexist attitudes, yet she screams foul to the entire world, calls every outlet of media she can think of to decry this injustice, and blame them for being biased. She has her supporters organizing rallies that will do little more than further divide the party at the eleventh hour.

Will this woman ever stop?? She makes me so ashamed of my gender.

Ferraro is absolutely right.

I don't believe either race or sex should be an issue but if race is going to be such a huge factor than it is equally important to discuss sexism. Which has been alive and well in the MSM.

Maybe she should give a talk about sexism like Barak gave a speech about race relations. Try to do something positive instead of saying other people should be more responsible for making an issue of it.

And she has a campaign office across from a "gentleman's" club or stripper bar, if you will, here in Springfield.... sexism?!?! Give me a break. ... People would rather be lied to imstead of embracing Change........
Obama 08

No comment.......I'm not even gonna bother and say anything. I've already made up my mind about Hillary, is her life....

Yes media...how dare you ignore sexism...after all 50% or more of women now support Obama and we know they are the most sexist people in the country.

Hillary seem to touch every sensitive issue to somehow derail Obama's nomination.
She played the race card and now the sexism? How pathetic....
The American people know better. Eventhough there is sexism just like there is racism, I don't think the reason why she lost has anything to do with sexism. Infact she got where she is now due to Bill Clinton's presidency. She got very favourable media coverage until recently when it became apparent that she has no chance.
We cann't give her the nomination at any cost.
I think she should thank the American people for the opportunity she got and bow out with grace.

Amzaing. She mishandles her campaign, has no plans after Super-Tuesday, and she is well past throwing the kitchen sink at Obama. She is losing, and rather than plan a graceful exit strategy to preserve the Clinton legacy and her own, she attacks anything she can. To say their is no racism in this primary is the sign of a bitter candidate, not someone who we need in the White House.

She is absolutly right! She has been treated like total crap by the media! And yet, she has not quit and held her head high! She is a TRUE leader and if she decides to run as an Independent, she totally has my vote!

I can't wait to NOT vote for Obama.

Why would Hillary supporters cut their nose to spite their face by voting for a right-wing Bush clone? Democrat unite!

Doesn't believe that racism played a role, but sexism hurt hur run? Are you kidding ? How jaw dropingly ignorant and self serving. Good lord !

I cannot believe the people who say Obama did not play the race card. From the beginning he mentioned Martin Luther King, and his dream. Oprah came out and excited the crowds in the black states. The black states that voted for Obama are no different then West Virginia, just different colored people. He played to the crowds, the "urgency of now", he stole from MLK. He continues to say how a 46 year old black man dares to run for president. If that isn't racist I don't know what is.

What?

This is just ridiculous.

Hillary isn't losing because of sexism. Perhaps Sexism just hasn't been as big of an issue in the campaign because it's not as big of an issue overall. I think America—myself included— is ready for a woman president, and will have no trouble electing one when the right one comes along. Men and women have been split equally to either side throughout the campaign—men for Hillary in one state, men for Obama in another, women for Hillary in another, etc....

However, I think it says much more about the state of the nation when votes are dividing right down racial lines over and over again. I think there is still much more racial tension in this country than even the media says. I even see it in people in my own family, and it's sad.

I think this is just another tactic to draw attention to the Clinton campaign. She's like the Bush-Cheney view of Iraqi insurgents: in her "death throws". Which translates to: Nowhere near even thinking about a sane course of action that leads to an eventual bow-out.

I don't like her for a lot of reasons, and guess what? I don't care one bit that she's a woman. I would gladly vote for a woman if I felt that she was the better candidate. The simple fact is that I think that Obama is the much better candidate in my opinion.

stop crying

Maybe to her there has been some sexisim going on. I don't see it but maybe to her it's there. I think that they both ran a good race and it's now over. I think she fought the good fight and won some battles and in the end she just didn't win the war. The bottom line is he just got more votes and more delegates. I don't think it was people picking on her or anything else like that I think it was just a time for change. I think the American people are ready for it and it appears to be happening. I think she should be proud of herself she ran a good race.

Two more weeks and the show is over.

Is this a new strategy? Gosh, I hope she unites with Obama real soon. We have to begin getting ready for November!!!! Yea Dems!!!! Obama 08

You, madam, played a central role in you own political demise!!!

No one is ignoring sexism, they're just ignoring you Billary

Clinton had a real chance to denounce Ferraro's dumb statement and show her mature attitude toward the race and reuniting the party. Instead she has jumped on yet another bandwagon – she's an opportunist to the end and it is pathetic. I find it interesting that she hasn't touched this subject for weeks or months until the windbag former VP candidate raises it and it gets more than 30 secs of press, so she picks it up, and the subtext is "please keep covering my campaign, I'm still newsworthy."

Hey Proud in WV-Maybe you should look up the word and you'd know how to spell it correctly.

What will she complain about next???

This is beyond the pale, even for Clinton! Misogynist is a word that you don't through around. It means THE HATRED OF WOMEN. To state that people hate all women because they don't support her is deeply disturbing and insulting. The media has been more than fair. I was at the Rally in Portland this weekend and saw many Clinton supporters with sighs calling us misogynists if we didn't vote for her. No true feminist would stand gor this SEXIST B.S. I have lost all respect full this women. She is a DISGRACE to women and especially feminists.

I keep hearing all over the place about the supposed sexism in this race and in the coverage of the race. Except for the bozos holding "Iron my shirt" signs - not worse than the Obama-Curious George t-shirts that the Obama camp never made an issue of –, I have not heard of a single specific example. I am a 45-year old woman, and have experience much sexism in my life, and I know it when I see/hear it. I think this is just a desperate attempt by Hillary to touch a nerve with her core supporters - actually, pretty cynical and sexist in and of itself - to stir up controversy and cast doubt over the legitimacy of this election. If the media and public aren't taking you seriously, Hillary, it's because of intelligence-insulting stunts like this.

People should refer to Carole Simpson who on one of the national news programs made a statement to the effect that white people when they get in that voting booth will never pull the lever for the black man.....you know she is going to be right.

Racism, sexism very much alive in this country just read the comments that the American people leave in these postings on a daily basis......pretty sad what we have become.

I agree that there has been some sexism, however, for Senator Clinton to deny racism has played any part in the campaigns is incredibly dishonest and self-serving.

Personally, I think both issues have been overblown by both camps in an attempt to garner votes.

I remember vividly the accusations Clinton's supporters use to throw at Obama if he complained about some of his coverage. They all use to shout, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!" Now, the shoe is on the other foot. However, it is apparently okay for her to complain. Why is that?

Let's try this again CNN:

The Obama campaign volunteers receive bomb threats on an almost daily basis. They have doors slammed in their faces by people with pre-civil-rights Jim Crow attitudes. They are told that Hillary has the "white vote" by the candidate herself, but there is no racism!! This while Senator Obama calmly thanks his volunteers and reminds them that this is not the general feeling in America.

Meanwhile no one on Clinton's volunteer staff has complained of ANY sexist attitudes, yet she screams foul to the entire world, calls every outlet of media she can think of to decry this injustice, and blame them for being biased. She has her supporters organizing rallies that will do little more than further divide the party at teh eleventh hour.

Will this woman ever stop?? She makes me so ashamed of my gender

Barack Obama is a one of kind. Hillary has so much baggage with her. If a real electable woman were running, I think it wouldn't be a contest. Hillary isn't electable. She is probably hated by more people than Barack's race is hated by racists.

This isn't about sexism, it's about Hillaryism. I don't like Hillary, but would love to see a woman in the White House.

There has been sexism in the campaign, but there's been racism too. By saying that there's one and not the other, she's once again being divisive.

She complaining of sexism but gives no examples of it? Is that like crying wolf?

I have followed this campaign pretty closely and I have yet to see anyone of any prominence denounce or criticize Clinton for being a woman. No one has yet said she is unfit to lead because she is a female. However, many people of notoriety, especially in Clinton's camp have leveled claims of Obama's electability based on race.

Women were the LAST to get the right to vote without regard to race. That women do not equate their vote with their earning potetial is sadly and economically ignorant. Your husbands, children, and you suffer because you will not stand up and say enough is enough! This was our time–and you've squandered it by believing the the media. Women should stop trying to be like men...we naturally use both side of our brains at the same time to process information thus ensuring the survival of our offspring. Lets take credit for that, and take it to it's logical conclusion–Women are better suited to manage government.

A Real Change will be A Woman President!

Hillary is blaming everything and everyone for losing this race. She has run this campaign with an arrogant attitude as though the white house belongs to her. The reality is that she was outsmarted in every respect. If she’s going to run the white house the way she ran her campaign well it’s a good thing she came in second.
Sir Bush had the white house for eight years and then the son had it for eight years; do you see where it got us.
Bill Clinton had the white house for eight years and now his wife wants it for eight years. There is NO way I want to see that. Remember what Bill did while in the white house. It’s time to turn a new page. The longer Hillary stays in the race the more I lose respect for her.

Oh Please, Hillary! Do try to keep a morsel of dignity as you slither out of Hillaryville and come to terms with reality. Sexism? Really!! Maybe you could squeeze out a few tears while you're at it. As a woman the same as you are, be proud of what you have accomplished to date! Please don't diminish yourself and ALL WOMEN by whining about how SEXISM cost you the election, for crying out loud!

Be brave, Hillary...Make us all proud by going out a fighter instead of a sniffling little school girl saying, "It's NOT FAIR! You can do it, I know you can!

She says it as thought there is no racism that Obama encounters on his campaign trail.

Even if there is sexism, the simple fact is men and women are about equal percentage wise in voting and in life. As for racism, Obama has a much smaller percentage in black voters to combat it.

Women get to vote for Hillary if they choose, they comprise half the population...... yet again another argument that doesn't work.

OK, let me get this straight...

So the sexism towards her has been "deeply offensive", but racism hasn't been a part of the campaign?

PLEASE!

I don't see how anyone can deny the rampant sexist comments that have come out during this election. I can't count how many times I've heard people say that Hillary "is a man", that she has balls or a big dick tucked under her skirt. Why? Because she's aggressive. Without that she would have never made it to where she is. But obviously a lot of people don't believe that "real women" have the characteristics necessary to get to a level of power. Only men do? Give me a break.

and yes, the media does lay off Obama a lot because he is black. Just a week ago I read an article right here, on cnn.com, that essentially said that people should vote for him because he is black. How about looking at the real issues for once, instead of all this? Every single one of the comments before mine have been mud-slinging remarks by people who have absolutely no idea what the actual issues are. You all disgust me.

I don't believe Obama is sexist any more than I believe Clinton is racist. But a lot of his supporters sure are.

(by the way, I am no more white than Obama, so you can keep your "racist" comments to yourself.)

Baloney and pathetic Hillary. You blew it.

She is just trying to win the women's vote in Kentucky whatever way she can... Another dirty trick, whatelse can you expect from her. She has said she will win at any cost and she meant it! I have no respect for this woman and thinks she has put feminism back 20 years not forward. She says she is tough but she isn't. Her husband says everyone is ganging up one her, then she screaming at Barack for not being tought enough. She is full of lies and mixed messages and frankly don't know what to expect from her one minute to the next. I just know as a woman, I don't trust her! I can smell crap a mile away, and she stinks! She destroyed herself and has noone but herself to blame if she is not nominated, just like Barack does. I bet if he loses the nomination he won't be whining that the media or Clinton was too hard on him..

Toughen up Clinton if this is really the field you want to be in or go home and find another field that suits your personality.

A bias against Hillary could result from a number of factors – disdain for American oligarchy, a yearn for real change, distrust, etc.
It's not always sexism...and crying wolf without being more specific than general "sexism" damages her already-flimsy credibility.

I can't wait till this thing is over, all the angry Hillary supporters can vote against everything she stands for, paving the way for the reversal of Roe v. Wade, and ensuring another decade of war (at least).

Americans seem to live & die by their knee-jerk emotional reactions to incomplete news stories...it's a shame...and has contributed greatly to the erosion of our democracy. And to think...we were once the greatest nation on earth..

Sexism? There goes Ms. Divisive making things up again! She expected to be able to walk right back into the White House because she is a former First Lady. When things started going badly for her, she, the former President, and her team decided to make this a mean campaign. The Obama camp fought back. She really should stop making herself look so foolish.

Superdelegates are like the wind "shifty)

Why didn't CNN mention about the Gallup Poll showing Clinton beating McCain but Oboama losing to McCain.

Talk abbout media Biased, it is all over the place. It is time that the media stop playing this game and stop picking our next President!

Maybe black people should go and stand on the other side of the street and protest for african american to get some of the minority business loans
that white women get because they get all of the minority business
loans and sholarship.

Start thinking before you speak.

You would have to be blind and deaf not to notice the blatant sexism.
The media and political establishment obviously have an issue with powerful women. The sad thing is how young women don't respect what their mothers, aunts, and grandmothers did for them. They weren't around 30 years ago. They just take it for granted. The success of Victoria's secret is directly related to young women letting others define their identity.

Yes yes yes...always other people's fault....... Hillary...just accept ... people like Obama. SO just recognize that he is the the superior competitor .

I think this is more BS from Camp Shillary. I am a women, I have found no sexism.....stop crying, you lost on your own merits, fair and square.

Call it a day and move on...and take the bitter beotch Ferraro with you!

Its an insult to all Americans Black & White.
It just goes to show Hillary will say & do anything to get elected.
She nothing more self-centered, narcissistic elilist!
Living in her own delusion world

Clinton's "core feminist" support is very loyal, but does not reflect the preference of most women, which, according to the most recent Gallup poll, shows Obama with a slight majority of all females who are leaning towards the democratic ticket. She and the former president, as well as their campaign are once again spreading disinformation, and they remain unwilling to acknowledge the facts–no surprise there.

Yes, sexism has played a great role in Hillary's campaign. That's why so many women are voting for you.... What do you call that? Reverse sexism? Isn't White Males voting for Hillary in numbers? Is that sexism or racism?

I guess sexism only matters when you're losing.

How is this helping the democratic party? Wasn't Hillary the one who said Obama can't get the votes of White Americans? Where's the evidence of sexism here?

We are all on the same team and the superdelegates need to come out and put an end to this bickering because it's obvious that Hillary won't.

gender has absolutely no place in this campaign. To narrow this important a decision down to race or gender would be disasterous. Ask yourself this; are we voting for a person; for an individual; or are we voting for a cookie cutter image. It is imperative that we look at these two people as individuals away from outward appearance and superficial and shallow things. There isnt a single Obama supporter I know who is sexist. Or who is voting for him because they dont want a woman to be president. I am a woman. The reason I am voting for Barack is because of the individual he is. The human being he is. For me to base my vote on outward appearance would be totally unacceptable. This is about who you are as a human being and to try and make this contest about outward appearances; race and gender takes it to a shallow degrading level. Wise up Hillary.Im not voting for you because you are egotistical, and dishonest

Hey Hillary, that's called a double standard. You should be ashamed of even bringing that up when you're opponent is half-African. Have you so quickly forgotten American history? Racism affects everyone, male and female...and didn't you say if you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen? Has your name led to you being falsely linked to militant muslims? I think not...

It is sad you are now resorting to this. But we should have seen it coming after your magical number creation, Karl Rove citation, and delegate flip-flop.

America 08

It's Racial to Vote for a Guy............. Just!!!!!! And only just, because he's Black.............. That's Racism........... Women voting for Women!!
Is Feminism.... Women, Being Women...............Where would we be, without them......................

The issue is so much of sexism, it is who she is as a person. I lost respect for her in many ways. To be honest, both candidates have a lot to complain or whin about. Now since she is not the lead, it is about being a woman, sexism..
She will do anything to get individuals not to vote and to divide the party. She is really getting on my nerves.

First the JayZ brush your shoulders off is "sexist" , which I am appalled Ferraro would even part her lips to mention.
And now it's the medias fault.
She is losing because she is Hillary Clinton.
Her campaign was mismanaged she underestimated Obama and she got left behind.
This is really offensive to me as a woman!

I have been following this election to the point of obession and I am a woman and was a Hillary supporter, I have seen no evidence of sexism. I believe a woman can be President but she is not the right leader or woman. I just do not trust her anymore. She changes with wind, but a woman has the right to change her mind. OOps was that sexist.

What happened to, "If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen?"

Everyone dealing with the public knows a certain percentage are bigots beyond salvation. Jesus said, "Kick the dust from your sandals and walk on." It's what Senator Obama does concerning the KKK, Neo-Nazis, White Supremacists. It is what Senator McCain does with people who won't take him serious because of age.

Think of America and don't dishonor your record of good service.

SEXISM is alive and running rampid every single day in this world! What Senator Clinton says is 100% true, but most of the reactions on this board only solidify her remarks all the more. How unfortunate, that the truth cannot be tolerated by the well-thought Obama supporters. All the mocking and degrading that the MSM has done, particularly Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, Tucker Carlson, and yes even the mole himself... Anderson Cooper, just to name a few. Senator Clintons batte has been twice as hard, yet she still stands.... In the end no matter what happens she will still be standing at the top of that mountain polished like gold! Can't say the same about the chosen one. Obama sweetie is going to have a force to be reckoned with if he thinks he is even going to have a chance with XX's.

Please cite one example of when OBAMA was "terribly sexist."

I voted for Cynthia McKinney several times when she was my representative in Congress. I thought she was the best candidate running in my district, and the fact that she was a woman and the other candidate was a man didn't stop me from voting for her.

I can imagine that there are lots of Obama supporters who have voted for women before, either for local office or for Congress. It's not that we don't want to vote for a woman–it's that we specifically don't want to vote for Hillary.

However, since Hillary and so many of her supporters have decided that she is the avatar of all women everywhere, anything said or done against Hillary Clinton is construed as an attack against all women.

Women of America, you can do much better than Hillary. If you tie your dreams to her political career, you will just be weighing yourself down.

Give it a rest people, it's over.

Seems to me that how one perceives 'media bias' depends entirely upon whom one is supporting. It's easy to read whatever you want into press coverage.

No doubt there has been sexism and racism in this race - it's unavoidable. But - as someone said decades ago - if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the fire.

Let it rest, Hillary. What happened to all your make-nice words last week about uniting the party?

If the media has been 'unfair' to Hillary its only because she underperformed against expectations that she was invinsible.

The underdog is always a better story.

The main stream media has been biased against Senator Hillary Clinton and a nationwide poll showed 72% of Americans agreed. People should go to REZKO WATCH on the net then click on 5 articles titled "Curtain Time for Obama" and read all the articles is a detailed report of the investigation of the Rezko/Obama ties and how Obama supported Rezko in his fraudulant activities through legislation and power brokering. Senator Obama, Tony Rezko and others who have confessed all need to be in jail together. All are dishonest and criminals. Certainly Senator Obama should not be considered as a Presidential nominee. Main stream media has not been reporting truths.

Sure there was sexism... just as there was racism in this campaign. The difference is that Clinton was the one trying to play the racism card against Obama. Obama never said anything about her being a woman, nor did he make comments about only being supported by males. Unlike Clinton's remarks about having "a broad base of support" from "white Americans". Obama has white, black, other, male, female, young, old, educated, uneducated,

If racism has not played a role, it's not Bil Clinton's fault.

Can someone, anyone give me some examples where Senator Obama has been overtly "Sexist". So much so, that he demishes women. And please, don't trivialize the claim with him calling someone "sweetie".

Please, Mrs. Clinton, Mrs. Ferraro, anyone some substantive instances where Barack Obama has been overtly "Sexist"?

Please show me....

Her argument is ridiculous. How has sexism really impacted her campaign? Race has been more of an issue in this campaign, and it is evident that the Clinton camp tried to use that before the South Carolina primary. Clinton is a champion of women's rights by her own admission; however Obama could never say he is a champion of minority rights or he would seem racist and exclusive.

Yeah, Sen. Clinton, you have had a tough road. You actually had to fight, and it seems to me that you were ill-prepared. That has nothing to do with your sex. It just has to do with the fact that the bette politician is winning.

All the world revolves around Hillary. Can we get a Clinton holiday? Maybe that would appease her.

SHe had no problem when one of her own superdelegates said she had the "TESTICULAR FORTITUDE" needed for the presidency.

That came from a supporter not the media. Time and Time again she has been pushing the gender card. "The best man for the job is a Woman," c'mon Hillary.

This is ridiculour. HRC is now stooping so low that she is hiding behind anything and everything that comes her way. First was the Karl Rove 'MAP' and now its sexism?.

Wonder how much more are we going to see/hear this crap. On the other hand, we have to admire Obama for campaigning against one of the most formidable political machines of this country, the CLINTONS.

What he has achieved so far is unbelievable and HRC got totally blindsided by the Obama campaign.

Hillary, people don't like you because YOU SUCK! Now, was that sexist?!?!

Can she be more devisive?, This proves once again she will do anything no matter what just to have a few more chances to get more votes, you'd expect some integrity at least from someone who wants to be president

I don't think there is any doubt that sexism and racism have reared their ugly heads in this election. In a general election both candidates would have to face these ills(Obama-racism, Hillary-sexism). Its time, as Americans, that we stand up to racism and sexism. This race has shown we still have a ways to go.

Women have yet to reach high offices and in spite of many honest efforts they are crowded out. Who is responsible? In this case, the press esp. Chris Mathews of MSN BC and others who feel that free press means foul mouths. All for what ? For an election where there is almost no policy difference. It is indeed sad. Sexism aided by women has the better of racism. No one showed up with a shirt at a Obama rally asking him to wash it. for him. That answers the question is there sexism here – YES, YES-------YES. The blogs above convince some not to vote for Obama.

Why does she keep saying things like that. does she not notice that her rallies are usually majority women... Obamas followings are usually very diverse.. Isnt that what your country needs. come on Clinton.Stop that stupid argument.

If it were not for the fact you are a woman you would have been forced out of this race a long time ago. Stop being selfish and let this party get it together for some thing more important than Hillary.

Must be the vast right wing conspiracy again.
Bush / Clinton / Bush / Clin -no thanks.
It's over lady.

You know why you are losing?

BECAUSE MORE PEOPLE VOTED FOR OBAMA.

Hillary: Maybe the press has focused so much on the racism of Obama's detractors because your campaign made darn sure they did so. By contrast, maybe there hasn't been the same focus on the "sexism" of your detractors because Obama has waged a respectful campaign.

Is this a joke? If that was the case, Obama would have wrapped up this nomination long ago. On the contrary Race has played a bigger role than sex in this election. West Virginia & Kentucky is plain proof.

Hillary is in a dream world!

Did she focus on any specific examples of sexism in the media? Or is it sexist to report that she's losing?

Please give it up...What part of you lost do you not understand?

OBAMA '08!

I think she is looking for a scapegoat.

No racism? When 22% of people in an exit poll say that race played a factor in their decision not to vote for Obama?

Hillary is playing that card because women were her last hope. But, now, faced with voting for John McCain who voted against raising the minimum wage, would do away with a women's right to choose and would send our sons and daughters off to fight in Iraq and Iran, or voting for the man who will take up our banner on those issues, we must all unite to elect a Democratic president.

Democrats unite- let's take back our country!!!

well, you are a girl.....

Is she for real? Watch out, here comes the kitchen sink ....

Both of Hilary and Barack got positive and negative press. She has the most delegates and popular votes of any woman in American History. Even more that a lot of MALE president nominee hopefuls. But because she didn't win, now it's because the press ignored sexism. As a woman, I was going to vote for you, Hillary. But then I saw how you and your attitude completely changed when Obama blindsided you. How vicious you were. YOU were the one making women look bad by having mood swings every day of the week! Remember "Shame on you, Barack"?!

Hang it up and move on. You are a party divider, Mrs. Clinton.

Hillary is very unlikely to get the democratic nomination. Obama seems to answer questions by NOT answering questions which America seems to be okay with. People seem to jump on the show wagon (Obama) instead of the substance (Hilary). Let the chips fall where they may.

What in the world is she talking about? When this race started she had a 30 point lead over Obama. Last I checked she was a woman back then. Does she think a 30 point lead turned into a 20 point defecit because of the shocking news that she's a female?

She doesn't think racism has played a role but does think sexism has?...she needs a nap.

Its pretty clear both have been factors in both directions. I don't know which will have played a larger part in the overall outcome but its obvious to everyone they've been factors.

When you look into the crowd and see signs like 'you go girl' – guess what that's sexism working in your favor.

So if the DNC doesn't override the results of the election and nominate Clinton, even though she is the clear loser, then you will vote McCain.

If you think Clinton supporters aren't going to vote Obama, but if Obama, the winner is denied the nomination that his supporters would vote Clinton, you are delusional.

Clinton, if she doesn't WIN but is appointed, is 100% unelectable.

Obama IS the nominee, if you want to vote for someone out of spite, then you are pathetic.

You did not just go there, did you? I cannot believe this. Is this really how you want to be remembered?

"nothing but misogynists" – That is an extreme allegation to make and almost certainly untrue. People are much more complex and multifaceted than this. I think we all need to be very careful about throwing words like racist or misogynist around at any hint of race or gender playing a role. Let's not forget that Clinton benefits from her gender, too (e.g. older women who want to live to see a female president). It would be great if race and gender played no role, but I'd much rather see people voting for something (first female president, first African American president) than against (anything but a woman, anything but an African American).

As a white woman, Hillary only recognizes sexism, which is why words like "hard-working" and "white" roll off her tongue without a single thought. If she were an African-American woman she'd see both racism and sexism. Her comment to her own racist remarks were to simply agree that they were indeed 'dumb,' but she never acknowledges that they were racist. She is blind to racism, seeing the only 'ism' that relates to her: sexism. Open your eyes Hillary, it's still a sexist and racist world, but look where we've come, two candidates: African-American, and Female, running for presidency in our sexist racist world. Yes, indeed, we've come a long way, with a long road still ahead!

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 math. Now, he is doing some kind of math for Senator Clinton. Sounds like the lowest of all roads to me.

I promise to vote for HRC in 2016 but for today its Obama.

The Clintons are the Past, Obama is the future.

McCain or Clinton, oh please get your heads checked.

This kind of pity-party whining is unbecoming and, as a woman who has watched this race closely I must say, unjustified. She is hurting women and diminishing every legitimate charge of sexism leveled by women who are really victims. Wasnt it you who said, "If you cant stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!"... (KITCHEN! WAIT... oh yea, men cook too... pshewww. That was a close one!)

good going keep it up. I am doing my part for you every day. I myself did some things in my past to sell to limo drivers cab drivers etc. i know why the limo driver knew him because he either had the stuff or knew where to get the stuff. I’ve been there . you are 100 percent true. i believe you

Ferraro and Clinton are still making last attempts for this presidential bid. Clinton, you can't be president and constantly whine. People are going to say and do things to you that are unappropriate. Do it make it right, of course not. Things like this happen to everyday citizens, so take the pledge of the everyday citizens, "IF IT DOESN'T APPLY THEN YOU MUST DENY!!!!"

Give me a break! Voters are clearly admitting they are not voting for Obama because he is an African American. Hillary will try anything to say why she is not winning. She and Geraldine need to grow up!

The worst claim of sexism is against Clinton and her army of fanatical women followers who are only voting for her because she is a WOMAN !!!

What Hillary doesn't understand is that people aren't being sexist, its just that Hillary has a scary, horrible personality, and that is what turns people off, not the fact that she is female. I am a female and I would never vote for Hillary, but I do think in general, a woman would be a better leader. Just NOT Hillary.

Hillary is right. It is still okay in this country to attack a woman, but God help you if you do or say anything that might offend a black person.

THE INCIDENT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE WAS A RADIO STUNT BY A COUPLE OF STUPID SHOCK JOCKS, CHRIST!

I'm really tired of this moronic sexism argument, as if Obama being a black man has somehow made it EASIER on him than the Hillary. The amount of cognitive dissonance coming from her, her campaign and her supporters is staggering..

Racism isn't a factor in this campaign? Tell that to the Obama supporters in West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Indiana who faced everything from bomb threats to vandalism to sheer hate speech. And make sure to tell your husband while you're at it.

Just because you lost doesn't mean the voters are sexists just because they didn't vote for you. Could it be you political and personal history that turned voters away rather than your gender? I believe that is the most likely answer. You got outplayed by Obama, who you wrote off as a non-competitor early in the race.

So Hill is saying that there has been rampant sexism during the nomination race, but not racism? She is clearly off her rocker at this point. I realize that there is a lot of stress and strain in a long nomination process like this, but she is really, really going to regret here behavior when she gets some rest and perspective... fortunetey that opportunity shouldn't be long from now. Bless her little heart...

Not to worry Hillary – the world has seen what occurred here and the last word will be with the voters. We will know just why you could not obtain the nomination and we – the voters – will have our say in November. We are not desparte – we just will not vote for Obma.

So, Hillary get over it, you make it so we cannot vote for you if you you run again. You want to run like a man dress like a man and when you do not win you you want to be a women. YOU WANT TO WIN AT ANY CAUSE, YOU ARE MAKING IT HARD FOR US WOMEN . I am a 59 year old woman, and but not a cryer like you.

Suzette

Even Robert Byrd chose Obama.
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

If you can't take the heat hilary, then maybe you should take up baking cookies.

People should go to http://www.gallup.com and see the cross tabs because the sample size is huge over 4000 interviews and it shows HRC slipping in every category. Losing even among women now.

"sexism" is when you discriminate against someone based on their gender

what do you call it when you discriminate against someone solely on their inability to tell the truth….Hillaryism?

We do not support you because you are incapable of telling the truth – period!

come on that does not hold any water bring another one. when there is a fight like this one has to win, in this case Obama won. If it was sexism as you put it you could have got out of the race long time ago. Wrong place and time to pick up a fight go with grace train Chelsea who knows there are may more good women out there who can and who will be presidents you are not the LAST BORN WOMAN OF AMERICA give it up. My daughter is smart who knows she will be one.

I tried my best to try and stay positive on these blogs but goodness does she make it difficult.

Does anybody else see this as a ploy to get all the women riled up to vote for her? It's hard for me to not see everything this woman does has a motive behind it.

I am a 61 year old white working woman, and I don't see that sexism has been an issue at all in this race. I am sure that if you look hard enough it is possible to find evidence to support any position you care to take, but the evidence supporting this one is pretty weak. Hillary did not lose because of sexism. She lost me by being nasty and mean and her campaign was disorganized and underestimated her opponent. I understand that losing is difficult, but refusing to take responsibility and blaming others is unbecoming. Having a tantrum and refusing to vote for your party because your candidate did not win is juvenile.

This has been flagrant through out this primary. Jack Cafferty is the worst offender. He has picked some of the most slanderous of comments on his "tell me how you really feel." The worst one he picked was regarding Hillary as Obamas' VP. I won't even repeat it, you all know what it was. He needs to be fired. I have not watched the Situation Room since he 'selected' this vile, accusation against Hillary. He has made his segment an Anti-Hillary place to vent. His withou a doubt a misognist. This will probably not get posted, but it is the truth.

Oh dear. Now its a sexist attitude and the fault of the press that Sen Clinton is trailing in the Democratic nomination race. She and her campaign have blamed everybody but themselves. They ran a negative campaign believing she was pre-ordained to win; they neglected, at their cost, independents and young voters, andthey placed little importance on caucusses. When things started to go wrong it was the fault of the Party for excldung Florida and Michigan.

The simple fact is that most Democrats prefer the vision of Obama to the 'head in the sand' approach of the Clintons; his desire for change is more apealing that the `same old politics" with different players; his willingness to talk to our `enemies` holds more hope for future peace than nuking those we dont like.

Senator Clinton and her advisers should stop blaming everyone else and lok in the mirror.

LMAO, Obama has had help from all Media, DNC and Republicans (crossing over in early caucus to keep Hillary out). He has bought this election...he won't buy it in November.

People need to stand up to the media and stop them from letting these people control the outcome of this election.

GO HILLARY!!

WRITE IN HILLARY or VOTE FOR McCAIN

Ferraro, Clinton and Proffessionals for Hillary don't know what they're talking about. I know for a fact that Obama and his campaign have faced and endured many subtle and public racial insults and slurs. It was at the direct request of the Obama campaign and Sen. Obama himself that as little attention as possible be given to those cave-men because 1) He didn't want to be distracted with answering questions about what the insults personally meant to him and his family, 2) He didn't want to be painted as weak or a whiner and 3) He knew that ultimately his opponents would turn around and say HE was playing the race card.

Ferroro, Clinton and Proffessionals – Admit it, you can learn something from the best run campaign since Bill Clinton

I'm hoping for better examples for my daughter (and my son) than shriveled soul Ferraro and say-anything-to-win Clinton. If the media bites at this latest ploy, they are prize-winning idiots and debilitating our country's future.

This statement displays precisely why Hillary has failed. Two weeks ago she was talking about how the "hard working" whites wouldn't vote for Obama, which was code language for what everyone knows; there are white people in this country who will not vote for a black candidate. Now two weeks later she wants to play the victim and claim that racism doesn't exist.

The more I hear from her, the more I understand why she is so popular among people without a high school diploma. Once you develop critical thinking skills, it's too easy to see through her b.s.

And for my own personal story, I actually voted FOR her in my state's primary months ago, but her antics and tactics have made me an Obama supporter.

Saying that you're losing because the general public and media are women haters is doing a big disservice to the people who voted for someone else because they actually liked who they voted for. To say that you did not get my vote because I don't like women is ridiculous. That argument only adds to the original case your campaign made in the beginning by presuming to be the nominee before the campaign even started. Never mind that you just didn't win. Your campaign has been mismanaged all year long. Now that you're going to lose, you want to take all women down with you. I voted for Sen. Obama and against you based on merit. I could care less about your gender. By arguing gender, then you're saying you are beneath men and have to fight differently. That's an insult to all of the voters who didn't vote for you. Almost 20 million people can't all be wrong. Try to figure out what went wrong within your campaign rather than blaming men and media.

At some point hilary is going to have to get a clue,.....
Upset that the press has ignored all the terrible sexism that has occured,..........I have to ask?????? What sexism?

Wow is this woman stupid or what, what does she mean when she says that race has not been an issue in this democratic race to the white house. Again we see that Hillary is obviously on another planet because she is still no in touch with the realities of what this race has been about.

OBAMA 08

I was just wondering why CNN has not mentioned that Mr.Obama's Superdelegate count lead has increased to 28 more than Mrs. Clinton, I feel that if it were reversed it would be a HEADLINE–please be fair.

If you can't take the heat, than get out of the kitchen!

Hillarous! You really losing your bearings as.................u know what i mean.You still say that the other Clinton never used the race card ou you are going to say that you mispoke too?
WOW that's why you losed,HUH?okay(Sarcasm)

Obama must distance himself from the Clintons who are desperately hungry for power.

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

Both hillary and bill have many things to hide. If she is the nominee watch Mccain jump on it. Karl Rove knows a lot about it. They face a trial in november. Peter Paul vs Clinton the biggest fraud in politic, and now what she claim that the media are not reporting 'sexsim' Please go away it's still time...

She is spoiling her image in a democratic party. she can still be a respected leader of democratic party. she started talking nonsense. I wish God gave some words of wisdom to her.

/Will Hillary ever stop? Why can't she just complete the rest of the primaries with dignity. This will be her next big spin. She didn't win because of sexism. I am a woman and I feel that racism was played more in this primary than sexism. Hillary and her supporters are sore losers. It is like she is trying to make the SDs turn on Senator Obama because all of her women supporters are crying foul. Hillary please stop the madness. We need to unite around our presumptive nominee to defeat John McCain in the fall.

Dont you have to be an actual woman to claim you have been a victim of sexism in this case?

I don't think gender took a role in Clinton's loss since alot of men iron their own shirts. LOL I think Dean played a big role in Clinton's loss with stupidelagates when he came out with that comment for them to make up their minds and fast. They could have had a meeting on Michigan and Florida earlier than May 31st. This shows me deals were made in time so Obama would get the nomination and Michigan and Florida would be moot for Sen. Clinton. What a back biting party the DNC has become with bozo Dean as the leader.

Yea let's blame everyone for Hillary's defeat except her & her campaign strategists. She chose loyalty over experience just the way the White House would have looked & the country would have become. Hillary's campaign run is the only experience that I can judge her experience on & she failed. She is not ready on Day 1 because I unlike many of her supporters do not count First Lady as experience. She is doing as well because of her husband – if former President Bill Clinton was not her husband she would not have done as well as she has. Listen to her supporters things were good when Bill Clinton was president, I know the Clinton name, etc. This does not take anything from the former president – I did vote for him by the way but his 8 years should not be the backbone of Hillary's experience because she is not Bill

Of course racism has played a part in the campaign, particularly in West Virginia. Much of it has come from within her own campaign with subtle and not so subtle attacks on BO. Sexism, to some extent, most certainly has played a role. There are many individuals who will not vote for a woman. Many of the "sexist" comments that have come from the media are often in response to Sen Clinton's personal demeanor which has been more female than presidential (sarcasm, vitriol, whining, etc.) Maybe she ought to think whether the kitchen is too hot.

This woman isn't strong on self-reflection, is she? I liked her better when she was "just a senator" and nor running for president. Carl bernstein had it right when he said she morphed back to her "old" Clintonian ways that he thought she'd shed.

How any rational person could argue that rascism, or sexism isn't a factor is beyond me. Of course they are an issue :people have biases, whether they acknowledge them or not. In her case, she was WELL AWARE she was playing the race card bfore South Carolina. I'm not willing ot place the full balme of her husband.

So what an irony that now she disowns that any racism exists, and sees ONLY sexism!

Grasping at straws, in a now prototypical Clinton way.

did I miss something? was she treated any differently than any other candidate...if you want to play with the boys then don't expect to be treated differently. I'm sure the press would have reported every possible sexist comment made about her in a public forum, after all aren't there a number of female reporters.

i don't understand Hillary. She is a true opportunist, which I give her credit for, but some of her shanagans have proved to be unbelievable! I believe she, as a woman, received just as much press time as Obama. And then to say that the media blows up over racism? I have seen the exploitation of the media on both racism and feminism. I think she just finally decided that she has nothing more to lose so when Ferraro brings up something to get peoples' attention, Hillary takes that and runs with it. I mean the media didn't necessarily blow up all the racism Obama supporters endured while helping with the campaigns. These people actually received bomb threats! That just goes to show that racial lines are far more deep than gender lines. That is why this election is so important. If we can't break the racial barriers, how in the heck will break the gender barriers? Hillary has done so much for so many women, like myself, as far as showing how much a woman is capable of doing. I am for Barack Obama. I am a women and Hillary is not my first choice. I think she is dishonest, negative, manipulative, and calculating. It has nothing to do with her gender. This morning Bill Clinton was dissing Obama supporters and the media, saying that we are educated and have degrees so we don't have a problem with paying for gas.... I didn't appreciate that comment one bit. The truth of the matter is that Hillary has probably dealt with as much feminism as Barack has racism. Fair? Not to Hillary because the only thing that matters is what she thinks just like no states matter except for the states she has won, no women matter exept for the women who voted for her, rural white white voters are more important because they voted for her? Well, Hillary. What about the women who voted for Barack? Just leave it alone because you are not speaking for ALL women!!!!!

Obama '08

Blah blah. Have fun doing the dishes after you finish losing.

excuses.....excuses.....excuses.

pay no attention to the lady in the pantsuit, behind the curtain...

Hillary is finished...

I can't wait to vote for Barack!

His speeches are really nice and the non-stop rhetoric about hope and change really motivates me.

Who cares if there is absolutely no substance to anything he says. This country needs a motivational speaker, not a skilled and experienced leader.

And besides...his three years as a member of the Senate Foreign Relations committee clearly qualifies him to be the next Commander in Chief.

I think an immediate withdrawal from Iraq and the beginning of negotiations with Hamas and Iran is the right thing to do. The terrorists are people too...they can be reasoned with. Diplomacy always works with these people. I bet if we are nice to them they will just leave us alone

I "HOPE"???

Sexist my foot...

This is just another ploy by the Clinton machine to discredit the Democratic party such that it results in a loss in November, in order that she can have a chance to run again in 2012.

I had hopes that she would exit the race gracefully. Fat chance of that happening now. She'd rather destroy the party than see someone else take away her "right" to the presidency.

For those of you who will claim this is a sexist campaign.. please provide proof.. research.. show me something that backs up what Clinton is saying. If you feel you can't, then you are just sheep and deserve to have this nutball be your inspiration.

"There should be equal treatment of the sexism and the racism when it raises its ugly head," Clinton told the Washing Post in an article published in the paper's Tuesday edition."

The Washing Post? That is just plain ole sexist.

The Media has handed this election to Obama from day one...there has been obvious favoritism by especially MSNBC & to some extent CNN. Just hope Obama can win in November, as current polls show we'll be stuck with Mc"Lame"....Hillary would beat him, but Obama has an uphill battle especially in FL, OH, WV and others which we need to win in November....

I think that is a misquote. I saw earlier where she said she didn't think racism was a huge factor, not that it wasn't a factor at all. And Obama's camp, shrewdly, wants to play down issues of race. The problem, of course, it that many people are racist and in an ugly, if not effective, move, Hillary went after them in WVA. Frankly, I don't think she's saying sexism is why she's not winning, it is just that the discussions of her campaign have been rather harsh, and some of us are tired of them.

Hillary has aligned herself with a staff, many of whom are sleazebags male, and female. Rather than look at her shortcomings she has blamed the media, and others for her current status. Hillary promises jobs, etc. while her staff angles to get more unfair trade deals. Step up, and be honest you are not what you say you are. I can think of several women who could become our President. Hillary, and Bill Clinton are unable to be honest with themselves. That is their problem not not the media's doing. Ferraro likes to hear herself talk. I am relieved that she didn't become VP.

I support Barack Obama, and I am a Democrat. I don't agree with that moron who held up an Iron my shirt sign. That was sexist and ignorant.

I agree that sexism, like racism, continues to exist today. What I want to know is how Obama was sexist? What did he do specifically to disempower or disrespect women? This article does not point out to any reference of any sexists action by Barack, just simply an accusation by Ferraro. So where is the smoking gun?

Typical. Hillary blames everyone except herself. Who is to blame for her campaign debt? If she can't manage a presidential campaign how can she possibly manage the country? Go ahead Hillary and please blame anyone else you intend to blame for your loss so you can finally step aside.

I can't believe that she keeps whining about all of this like she has. A man wouldn't whine like this.

Can you please repeat that? What did yoy say, Madam Senator????????????

I still don't understand why the idiotic Ferraro can comment that Obama has acted "terribly sexist" and then her only "evidence" is some idiot with an "iron my shirt" sign that has nothing to do with Obama.

The last fluid ounce of dignity she possessed has just trickled out of her body and evaporated.

She is trying to incite negativity towards Barack's campaign this fall by upsetting his would-be female supporters to the point where they will become too bitter to vote.

This truly is a disgusting move by Senator Clinton. I'm dissapointed by her remarks and am ashamed that I was once a fan of hers.

This whole campaign has been about black/white voter trends primarily with man/woman trends a distant second.

Signed,

A hard-working black man (yes Hillary, blacks work hard too)

Cue the:

"He can't win in November!!"

and

"If not Hillary, I'll vote for McCain!"

in 5…..4…..3…..2…..1……

What will she complain about next....

Did you notice how McCain is changing the debate from economy, which is his weak point, to foreign affairs and national security, which is his strong suit? Although Obama has been responding to McCain's attacks, he sounds too defensive, especially, when McCain, rightly, claims that Obama is inexperienced and shows bad judgment when he recommends talking to rogue states without preconditions. Hillary told Obama the same thing during one of the debates, but who cares? We seem to be more interested in showing off to the world that a black man can become a US president than in electing an experienced, competent and tough candidate, like Hillary.

Its high Time that she has to quit the race. She has to start working on protecting her senate seat in future. Opening her mouth further will only spoil Obama's win in november.

Really...wow....okay, lets hear spcific instances of sexism that hurt Clinton's chances...anyone? Bueller...Bueller?
Jeeze...now its the victim card.

Ferraro is another one of those bitter Hillary supporters who cant except defeat and I really think Hillary is doing more harm to the party than good she is causing controversy playing the people well not the people she is playing women voters(The small amount that voted for her) and the Florida and Michigan voters against Obama and the DNC
but it is not there fault she ran a absurd race she thought she had it in the bag and she did not.She is looking for some extra help.She has lost and a lot of female voters(the ones who voted for her)or going to feel cheated because they put their faith and trust into a woman who will do or say anything to get into the white house she is the Monica
of politic(you know the her husband dogged her out with...)

heheheh......
OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESS, your defeat has nothing to do with sexism. You deserve your fate because of your vindictiveness, your scheming deals at other peoples expense, your habitual lying and your COMPLETE lack of integrity...Thirty five years of despiteful disrespect of American voters has led you to this defeat by a lone black candidate that you and your war/slime machine would never believe could happen. Now go in peace, but please just GO AWAY..

HRC's campaign has nothing to blame but itself for losing. She's pandered, lied, squandered money, miscalculated, and come up with ridiculous mathematical scenarios to win the election AND SHE STILL CAN'T DO IT. The so called "sexist media," not Obama's fault, Michigan and Florida, not Obama's fault, VERY poorly managed campaign, not Obama's fault... He just played the deck he was given much better than HRC. I want her to stay in and duke it out as long as she can, but campaign on the issues (thats what she began the race doing) and let the voter cast an informed, not racially motivated or gender motivated, vote.

OH YEAH... Yes We Can!

Hillary ...Babe...Im not a woman hater,I am a Hillary hater.I love women,I would vote for a woman for president,if there were one running who I thought was a decent human being,but this campaign has shown us all your true colors,and you are acting like a republican,and you are the one to blame for your defeat,its not sexism,sure there are some sexists out there,but there are many more racists...you lost because you chose to play ugly,to do all in your power to ruin your own party,and because you continually took the low road,we democrats are tired of politics as usual,and the slimy republican tactics,and you became just that this year,after the primaries have ended and you are reflecting on what you could have done different,remember most of us democrats are caring people,which you seemed to forget while busily attacking Obama.Its not sexism that killed your campaign,it was you.

I am sure race and sex have played huge roles in this years elections but to claim that one has been more prevalent than the other is ridiculous. That is like Hillary saying I am more of a woman than Barack is african american. But maybe she believes that

Blame it on the rain...look for a better excuse. LOOSER

When is she going to smell the coffee and wake up? She's stubborn, on an ego trip, and out of touch with reality. Thank God the Clinton era is finally over.

Seems like kitchen is getting too hot for Hillary!

Just when I thought I had seen and heard it all from Clinton...

I am having an extremely hard time figuring out what her mindset it. The people around her are also to blame, because obviously the ones who aren't jumping ship are the ones encouraging her to do this.

What a shame. Clinton, it's over. Now act your age and remove yourself from the campaign. For once in your life, do the right thing and unite the Democratic Party!!

Bama '08

YES I AGREE WITH BOTH. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN FAIR TO HILLARY AND I AM A MALE. AND TO JUDI, NEITHER CANDIDATE HAVE ENOUGH DELEGATES TO REACH THE NOMINATION. LET THE PROCESS GO AHEAD. YOU GOT YOUR CHANCE TO VOTE SO LET OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THEIR CHANCE

I think the Senator from NY is absolutely right, and it is a shame that our media with slogans like "Fair and Balance" or the "Best Political Team" or "News you can Trust" have failed to live up, and simply report the news without injecting bias or favoritism. We shall sit back and see how they handle the McCain/Obama contest without mentioning race which they have totally ignored thus far although Obama has been getting 90% of the Black votes and Clinton has been getting 70% of the White Votes.

Racism has not played a role...???

Well, bill clinton, geraldine ferraro and west virginians don't agree

WOW....

OBAMA 08

I'm so weary of Hillary grasping at every last straw! Whenever she starts these diversions, she ends by sounding shrewish, not strong. I'm a 68 year old white working woman, with 2 1/2 years of college, raised four children as a single mother, have worked since I was 16 and I'm an Obama supporter. I just want us to get on with the real business of putting a democratic administration in the White House and bidding adieu to that little buffoon who's in there now. This has been an interesting (to say the least) primary but it's time for it to be over.

Jesus H Christ! Now she's pulling the sexism card and playing THAT as an excuse as to why she's losing in every measure possible? She's constantly complaining about being disadvantaged and discriminated against, but why is it that she seems to be the only one who sees it? She is the one who spins and re-spins every angle she can come up with and constantly tries to change the rules of the game when the outcomes don't favor her. What a relief that she won't be our presidential nominee this election, I dont think I could put up with the constant whining for another 6 months!

Hilliary complaining about vitriol and mean-spiritedness?! Good lord the gall of this woman!

Ridiculous. Sexism AND racism ARE playing a part. When 22% of voters admit that race played a role in their decision, that proves racism. Clinton has it no tougher than Obama. They have a level playing field, and Clinton needs to get over it and quit hardening her feminist supporters. It's time to unite, not divide. Clinton, you're done. GET OUT.

Come On! I have only heard things about race and sex from supporters. The media hasn't attacked either one, and EVERYONE has made it an issue. To me it is two people. A man who believes he is qualified and a woman who believes she is qualified nothing else. People, please stop looking into ridiculous crap. She lost because she lost. He won because he won. There was nothing holding her back. The same amount of offset was felt by both because of there differences from the norm. Excuses are the final step to giving into defeat. You know it is over so before you bow out you must point blame... (That's if you are five and don't know how to lose like an adult.)

What a hypocrite! If she can't stand the HEAT . . . geez. If she hadn't already played the race card, she might get some support on this. Sexism and racism are both alive and well. But Obama hasn't sunk to either level. And that makes one of them.

GOD BLESS SENATOR KENNEDY AND OBAMA ALSO. I ASK THE FATHER TO LEAD AND GUIDE THEM BOTH IN THE RIGHT WAY.

Okay okay....first she said that it didnt matter if she is a woman or he is black. NOW, it still doesnt matter that hes black, but she has been treated unfairly due to sexism. WOW are we all sure that John McCain is the biggest "flip-flopper" of the bunch!? Need I remind everyone that she also said flatly "Michigan and Florida dont count...", of course that was when she was winning.

my lord, she is so hypocritical, she uses this card when convenient, then she does not, then again,

I can not stand her lies, and hypocritical stand, soon she will claim people are not only sexist but racists towards her..

the billarys, have no shame.. they are so hunger power, it is so shameful.

and the women like Ferraro who support her racist tactics, her division, her fear tactics in the conservative areas, they all should run together,
I am a woman, and i can not wait for a woman to be president, just that I like a woman who does not run on her cheater husband's experience, a woman who does not lie every step of the way to say she has experience, a woman who has earn her way up like many of us..

so it is not like we women do not want women to be presidents, or that we are blinded, not it is not it is that we want a woman who is honest, has worked hard, who does not feel entitled to the presidency, a woman that means what she says, that walk the talk.. not only talk and lies adn attack..

we want someone honest..
how can anyone truly vote for her, and ask themselves, oh I dont care if she lies.. that is not a big deal??
how is that not a desqualification?
she is racist?
she uses the race card when convenient!!
she uses fear at all times
she uses the gender card when convenient..!!!

it does not matter how much you like her, think about it, carefully, she sends the message that is OK to cheat, to stay with a cheater, ..........what a message from a woman...

mmm wonder about the women supporting her.. i really do.

So it's going to be, "I lost because of sexism?" Give me a break.

Give me a break

Now it appears as though Hillary will play the "girl" card.

Why not admit that her campaign was not prepared to go beyond Super Tuesday? She surrounded herself with incompetent leadership and they ran her campaign into the ground. Playing the "girl" card demeans the rest of us women who value organization, hardwork and humility.

She was the front runner out of the gate and many supported her. If she wants to blame a sexist government, media, constituents then so be it. I supported her as well until Bill made it clear that her four years would be his as well. No thank you.

Quite honestly though, she has shown the voting public that she could not select winners to manage her campaign so how could she be trusted to provide sound leadership for this country.

I do however think it is time for Hillary to throw in the towel and hope for a cabinet position or some leadership role in the Obama administration. Its time to move on.

Delusional. Delusional. Delusional. If the new Gallup numbers are any indication, the Dems are finally waking up to the ridiculous lies of Hillary Clinton.

Is she for real? There's solid evidence that says those two men in the audience holding the sign that said "iron my shirt" were planted by her campaign. And she certainly didn't have a problem with racism when Obama was forced to address it over and over again. With the Clintons, it always has been and forever will be "everyone's fault but mine". Let's see what else Senator Clinton can do over the next month two further ruin the Democratic Party's chances at winning the Presidency.

Racisizm and sexsizm is only there if you see it when you look in the mirror.. We are all americans no matter what color or gender. It is time to let this all go as we are approaching the 21st century.. I am white 39 female and proud to be an american with all my brothers and sisters.

Obama 08/09

To test the theory, let's say that a woman had run with the exact same platform, speeches, and experience as Obama. She would never have made it as far as Obama has, because people would have said she was delusional to think she could run with such a lack of experience, clear policy plans, and a vague call for change. Women have to work twice as hard to be seen as equally competent.

thanks for being even more devisive. lets make all women pissed at the media and not vote.

When Obama supporters are confronted with pre-civil war mentalities and Pre-civil rights-ammendment attitudes on the campaign trail, Senator Obama reamins low-key about the whole thing, thanks his supporters and tells them that these people do not represent the general feeling in America.

When no one on Clinton's campaign volunteer staff complains about unjust sexist treatment, she decries injustice to the whole world!!! calls press conferences/newspapers/organizes rallies and blames the sexist media for being biased!

Can we say desperate?

i did not notice a SINGLE example of the alleged sexism. I can categorically say that i have NO issue with a woman president, but i have huge issues with THIS woman as president. She is dishonest, deceptive and willing to play fast and loose with the rules to get what she wants. Unlike Hillary, i WILL give examples; refusing to give concession speeches when she is beaten, insistence on seating delegates that she agreed could not be seated because she was the only person on the ballot. It is NOT about Hillary's gender. It is about Hillary.

Misleading math, an underhanded jab, a deceptive reframing of party rules, unfair journalism, using the racist card and now sexism. What's next. Many women have been elected to run great countries like India and Great Britain, but were elected because they were very strong individuals and they did not have to use this type of garbage to get elected. I believe the sniper attack in Bosnia had a profound effect on her. Very sad indeed.

Hillary has just about run out things to blame her lost on I'm so tired of her whining She needs to take her defect and either get out the party or join in and lets put a Democrat in the white house for the good of all the people There is always another day to fight it is not now

She can't attack Obama any more so she goes after the media!

Ha,ha,ha,ha Go Obama!

Hillary is suppose to be Rocky and if you can't stand the heat – get out of the kitchen!

I really love her remark regarding the 75,000 that attended the Portland Oregon rally – where Hillary replied – that if Obama had time to spend talking with that many people – then he could have had a debate with her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it!

Hillary is TOAST and so is her political career.

We will NOT be sending her back to the senate. NYS will kick her out and send her back to her wet hell. She caused nothing but trouble with her fuzzy lying math and her sexist husband who prefers to have sex in the oval office then lie to the American people then touch young girls on the campaign trail then sperm up DANNY WILLIAMS then ship his mom overseas to keep her quiet. There’s not another sexist man on this earth than Bill 'whip it out' 'racist' Clinton.

Can she offer specifics of this so-called sexist behavior? Sex has not been apart of this race at all. Let's not forget that she was the front-runner and she beat out several other male presidential hopefuls in the beginning of this primary election.

"Ferraro pointed to New Hampshire".
New Hampshire??? When was it? Last year? If this is the only example that Ferraro has, then it is not so bad...
At least the guy did not have a monkey eating banana on it... female monkey that is...

WOW! Pot calling the kettle black? Her campaign has made racist remarks this entire campaign. Now she's whining about sexism??? This is ridiculous.

Blah. The new America. If you lose a fair fight, simply twist the press into thinking that it wasn't fair, get your most ardent and ignorant supporters to hold protests and hope you can steal an election. Gotta love Democracy.

the only core population that still is 100% on her side...do you really want to play this card Hillary? Yesterday, it was citing Rove. Today it is this. Is this presidential behavior?

As a boomer-aged caucasian female, I know sexism when I see it. Hillary has in fact exploited her gender when it served her purposes, and exploited race when she thought that would work to her advantage. I've watched the media's handling of the primary campaign closely, and the Clintons have consistently been given preferential treatment over Senator Obama. Playing the gender card is sexist in itself.

I would love to see a woman in the White House, but Hillary has morphed into Karl Rove and isn't the kind of candidate I could vote for. To vote for her simply because she's female is another variation of sexism.

Why does the MSM give Ferraro a high platform to speak from? She is best known as the only female Vice Presidential candidate to represent a major American political party. She didn't run for President in 1984. She was selected by the nominee as VP to garner the woman vote.

Ferraro has not been an elected official since 1985. And now towards the end of Hillary's presidential campaign, Ferraro, Hillary and Bill want to blame the media for "sexism" in America.

Obama has never camplained about "racism" being the cause of why he is the front-runner. He has acknowledged it and work that needs to be done to overcome it, but has never used it like a "crutch" like the Hillary has now with sexism:"

Obama in 08!

It has nothing to do with sexism. People just don't trust her. This is a typical "red herring." I am female and would like to see a woman President, but I want a president that I can trust and that tells the truth.

The issue isn't sexism. People are bashing her because of who she is, not because she's a woman.

As she keeps talking, whinning, and fighting to steal this election from the voters, she is peeling away layers of her cover, exposing the true self of who she is.

She has destroyed not only her own legacy, but that of President Clinton also. Shame on her, and those who continue to keep fighting for her. She has proven herself to be as divisive and hurtful as "W", but that would be sexist to say right.

MORE WHINING??? why doesn't she curse God for not making her a man? She could never be a Margaret Thatcher, Benazir Bhutto or Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, she makes women look WEAK. Fortunately she will never be President.

So, let me get this straight. She and Bill and their supporters bring up race on multiple occasions, but there is no racism in the campaign. Her gender is never mentioned, but the media is sexist. It's this kind of irrational arguement that makes me conclude I could never vote for her.

Once again she is delusional. Racism was a factor that she helped play up, and her version of being a woman is actually to be a testosterone-laced "man," which is not part of my feminist sensibilities. There are women's ways of leading, but she exemplifies none of them. The fact that she is a woman who is losing does not justify cries of "sexism." It was her approach to her campaign that showed her to be both mean-spirited and incompetent.

You know I honestly thought she would take the high road for once but i see she only lives in the gutter! Most of the media will simply take this with a grain of salt she and her supporters said the media was bias in negative reporting then fact check.org found out it was completely false in fact it was 2 to 1 negative reporting about Obama not Clinton in the primary season. now they are trying this even weaker claim of sexism the Clinton campaign needs to buy a new dictionary.

Go Obama 08 Yes We Can

Oh SHUT UP ALREADY.

People don't like you because you are a backstabbing, lying, deceitful, manipulative, divisive, and power hungry politician. 56% of the country thinks you are an untrustworthy liar. This is just a desperate attempt to drum up a story. Pathetic.

It has little to do with the fact that you are a woman, and everything to do with the person you are.

I am a black woman who has felt racism in this campaign however I have not felt sexism. I think it is sexist to vote for a woman just because she is a woman and condemn any woman or organization that will do otherwise. It is even worse to vote for McCain who will appoint judges that will more than likely overturn some of women's rights just to ruin the chances of that candidate who won fairly. THINK women (and men as well) before you cast your vote out of spite, this election is WAY too serious to be acting like spoiled children.

The only surprise is that it took this long for Queen Hillary to bring this up. Isn't this the whisky slinging, gun toting tough mama who told Obama to toughen up? Now she's crying "They're pickin on me cause I'm a lady!" Give it up Hillary, YOU'RE GONNA LOSE!

Even women favor Obama so, are women being sexist?

Oh please Hillary!

Racism didn't effect Obama, but sexism effected you?

Both Clinton and Obama had to overcome so much and for her to pull this card out of no where made me lose a little respect for her.

Hillary is desperate and I can tell it's only going to get worse.

It's like the criminal that fires his gun six times, runs out of bullets, then, in desperation, throws his emptied gun at whoever he was shooting at.

What else? Seriously? What else can she grasp at?

Please, someone... anyone... tell me something sexist that has seriously affected this campaign.

I am a woman and I wish Geraldine Feraro would go jump in a lake with her false claims that Barack Obama has been sexist towards Hillary. Liar, Liar, pants on fire! Noone likes a sore loser! I have lost all respect for Feraro.

regardless of Hillary Clinton, there is a pervasive attitude that sexism is less offensive than racism....I like Obama, but she has a very good point.

Ms. Ferraro, or anyone else out there:

Name one instance in which Obama has acted "terribly sexist". And don't say calling someone "sweetie". While some, but not all, might consider this term of endearment to be mildly sexist, it isn't "terribly sexist".

Hillary supporters who say they won't vote for Obama? I'm waiting...

Every 25 minutes she sites a different reason she isn't winning. Oh well. Women should be outraged that the first woman to have a shot at the White House constantly wants to change the rules for the race that she had agreed upon. I understand that all women aren't like that, I can think of only one of my sisters that behaves similarly. Hopefully the next woman to run for that office has some grace in both victory and defeat.

Sounds like a whiner, but she is confused. Maybe Ferraro slipped her something. Racism and sexism has played a part during primary season, but that is due to the candidates. There are things we just need to improve.

There are plenty of women who voted for Clinton JUST BECAUSE Clinton is a woman.

That is sexist as well.

Works both ways since there are 2 sexes.

Ok, I'll give it to her that sexism is out there, but that probably played about 1% of hurting her white house hopes.

The other 99% is a mismanaged campaign, no plan in place after Super Tuesday, ignoring caucus states before and after Super Tuesday, badly handled finances building up a huge campaign debt (speaking of which, aren't those figures due out today?).

Sexism is definately out there, but the only people that hurt the Clinton presidency are in the Clinton campaign. She should have won this easily and blew it because she was not prepared for the full election cycle. It doesn't matter if you don't like caucus states, they're a major part of this primary cycle, you can't choose to ignore them.

None of the short comings of her campaign revolved around sexism at all. Obama had his gaffe's anyone would expect a normal campaign, Clinton did not have the preperation to take advantage of them though. That's her fault, and hers only.

Examples, please, examples. Please, be specific Ms. Clinton. As for Ferraro and her argument about Obama being an African- American, this is probably true, but does she realize that the same argument works for Ms Clinton as well... that she is where she is because she is a woman, or a wife of the former president.
Let's be serious, I don't doubt Senator Clinton abilities but to say that her being a president's wife did not help would be rather naive and hypocritical at best. Different people have different advantages ...

We know it Hillary and we are seething.
We will never vote for BO.
Women will support you and never,ever, will we vote for OBAMA.
We will never vote for BO.
It has been the worst sexism Ever.
We will never vote for BO.
Obama is the worst thing that ever happened to America.
We will never vote for BO.
He has divided and spewed hate and hostility evrywhere.
ANYONE BUT BO!
He and his Wright guy and hate filled wife are despicable.
NEVER VOTE BARRY!

you want to play whatever card you can you have been so detrimental to your own campaighn trying to figure what works when you decide to run you should have been prepared for all that went on none of the dirty stuff about you and your aquaintences came out none of the manipulation and trechery you have participated in and you cry about the media you and your campaign like fox because it did your dirty work on barack and sean hannity really thinks he did that on his own poor thing any way we are going all the way i hope barack maintains his character and keeps the faith and keeps his head up i think him and his wife are good people and they have gotten in a den of lions but they are keeping pace the media was yours until he beat you fair and square you can not handle fair and square only dirt so sad a woman who has everything can not find any peace unless she's being victimized you would never be a victim not even when bill was cheating you knew women always know what we do with the information now that is another story you were ambitious and you probably love bill i won't take that he looks like a lovable guy but in my world he would have to go that's me anyway i know you are not finish you are still waiting for something to happen i wonder what is up your sleeve and so many women believe in you and there is not an honest bone in that body maybe at one time you were caring but those days are gone power and greed have taken over

I'm sorry, but much like evrything else in life. You can not make a general statement that is reflective of few and apply it to the many. While it is unfortunate there are a few out there that may have made "sexist" remarks or those taken as such. It is wrong for Mrs. Clinton or anyone for that matter to inject that the views of a couple of individuals at rallys, stops or town halls represent the many.

MRs. Clinton trails in this race simply because she ran into an individual who's aura, persona and message has affected many more than hers has. While race, sexism and political party may influence some. The majority of people have made their choice based on their true belief in a candidate and for no other reason but that.

Wow, Now this sounds desperate.....We've been in this primary season for 5 months, and this is the first time I've heard anybody cry sexism....This is a sad and harmful to the democratic party, Hillary and Obama

Sorry to tell you sen Clinton but racism has played a great part in your campaign. first by your husband in SC, then by you in WV and Kentucky You have played the race card quite a bit.

Do you ever admit to anything.

Hillary doesn't believe racism has played a role in the election, but sexism has? Amazing! I'm not denying some people may be sexist.

But for Hillary to openly proclaim that white voters prefer her, yet say that racism has played no role in the campaign, is pretty unbelieveable. She has an amazing capacity to spin facts. Maybe President Obama can hire her as his Presidential Press Secretary.

KEEP FIGHTING HILLARY......I SUPPORT YOU,AND YOU WILL BE MY WRITE IN CHOICE, DO NOT GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT TO THE END...

You see every time I think she would be a good vp she goes off the deep end!

First, the race card. Second, the sex card. What's next?

Anyone have a complete list?

Senator Clinton you are consistently trying to lay blame on everyone and everything but your poorly run campaign. To put it in sports terms, you were simply outplayed. You, nor your team were prepared for this competition and it showed. You have no idea how many people supported you till you chose to take a distasteful path during this primary season. My wife and I both thought very highly of you and had you simply ran a non negative campaign and stayed on the issues, you would have gotten our votes. But time and time again, you have showed that you will do anything or say anything to get elected. Now that the polls show that the base that you have claimed would never support Obama show that to be false, you fall on the last card you have to play and that is the Gender card. It is disgusting and so far beneath what is right. First you have Ferraro lead in and then you follow with this garbage. The Democrats had two great candidates and one has prevailed. just swallow your pride and admit that you fought hard, but came up short. A true winner is know for nor how well he or she wins, but how he or she handles a loss. This is over. How you exit (good or bad) is entirely up to you. Time to unite the party. Please stop trying to mislead the voters to think this was stolen from you. Simply put, you lost.
Obama 08!!!

I'm an Obama supporter, and I resent it when people go on comment boards like this and suggest that the reason I support Obama is because I'm sexist, which happens A LOT.

One of the reasons I resent it, besides the fact that it simply isn't true, is that it pulls attention away from the fact that there really have been a lot of unpardonable, misogynist attacks on Clinton and her female supporters. And they're right to be upset about it.

Rather than wasting our time into a shouting match over whether there's more sexism or racism out there and who's been more victimized (come on, they're both real and they're both damaging), let's try get this nonsense OUT of politics: sexism, racism, ageism (in both directions), all of it!

As someone who went house to house in PA to register voters for OBAMA, I noted that nearly 5-8% of the voters stated clearly that they would: "NEVER VOTE FOR A BLACK," man. And these were the ones that were being honest. I would patently suggest that racism and sexism are alive and well and that the problem is not only sexism.

Is she serious? She's crying about being a woman, yet won't admit race plays any role in this contest? I personally don't want a president that isn't going to see both sides of the issues.

Hillary, Hillary, Hillary. Your gender has helped you at least as much as it has hurt you. You are not losing because of your gender or any gender bias that may be out there. You are losing because you didn't have the right message at the beginning of this campaign and have been unable to put a cohesive campaign together throughout.

And this little piggy whined all the way home

Funny she doesn't give examples, just grasps at the only remaining straws she has. What she needs is the Iraqi Information Minister as her spokesman.

So, is this another code to CNN and the MSM to start some new Obama smear agenda? Just like last time the minute Clinton whined the press was being unfair they came to her like metal to a magnet. It's the same old stuff just under a new veil, this time I'd like to see the press finally lay the smack down on this new Clinton/Ferraro tactice. You can see it a mile away!!!

Supporters of both candidates need to grow up, else, you will totally turn Independents off – PERMANENTLY.

Hillary supporters should not behave like spoiled little brats, and Obama supporters should not kick those who are already down.

The goal is to send the Republicans to political purgatory. Do not lose sight of that. You all need to grow up, right now!

Give me a break... there was way more racism coming out of your camp then all the sexism in the whole world...

You lost, deal with it... Obama is a better candidate and it shows....

This woman knows nothing about true feminism!

she's right...people hold signs at her rallies saying, "iron my shirt"...and no one in the media mentions it. You bet your sweet potato the MSM would be all over signs at Obama rallies that said, "shine my shoes," or "pick my cotton!"

Where is the sexism? Where? This is an absolutely ridiculous claim. And to add that racism is not a factor after the things Ferraro and Bill have said? That too is ridiculous. I wish this lady would just go away. Even is she were a man and said the things she's said I wish the campaign would just go away.

Clinton and her campaign will stop at nothing to tear their party apart. It was her chief supporter Geraldine Ferraro who said Obama was there because of his race yet Hillary is now telling us race played no part in the campaign so please which of Hillary's claims do we believe?
I remember after Louisiana and Mississipi Hillary blamed her defeat on racial demographics, I remember Bill Clinton doing the same in South Carolina, yet the same person is saying there was no issue of race but rather sexism. We are yet to be told what the specific instances of sexism are.

I guess the democratic party should just deliver the nomination to Hillary and her "white hard working Americans" so we can be done with this primaries already.

Hillary, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE give it a rest!! What is WRONG with this woman? Yesterday, she was reduced to quoting Karl Rove, now she is trying to incite anger in women voters by crying sexism!! She and Geraldine Ferraro are in cahoots! She needs to shut up and unit this party! GOSH I'm sick of this already!

Gerry Ferraro and the P.C. police need to give it a rest. Beauty is only skin-deep, but ugly goes all the way to the marrow, or even further to the DNA...

Senator Clinton and her supporters are now whining about shabby press treatment. Next we will get the crockadile tears, perhaps followed by a Nixonian farewell saying "at least the press won't have me to kick around any more!!".

What a joke!! Six months ago she was the "certain nominee". But in that time, she has demonstrated a lack of executive leadership in her own campaign that shows her up to be a weak candidate for POTUS powers.

WHAT??

What sexism, Hillary? Name one incident of sexism!

Kitchen sink strategy at the last minute? AGAIN?

How dare you treat the American public like fools, believing that they will fall for your unsubstantiated remarks?

You and Ferraro deserve each other.

Oh God. As a forty something white woman may I say, shut up. You are making women look bad and ensuring we won't have a viable woman candidate anytime soon.

THIS WOMAN DOES NOT SPEAK FOR ME

Specifics please!

Geraldine Ferraro was once one of my heroes and now she is cuckoo. To suggest that Obama is sexist is as ridiculous as her suggestion that he was ahead because he was black. I don't see her as a racist just a little less intelligent than I once gave her credit for being.

Give it a rest already!!! Sexism, racism, elitism . . . The only "ism" America needs now is optimism and that is what Obama is bringing to the table. Get with the program and help unite America. It's not about you, Hillary. It's about US!
Obama '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We will not accept blanket statements regarding this campaign, I believe democrats have given you a fair shot at this election, it is time to concede, do not drug the democratic party that low.

Oh, it is the press. Lame. Ferraro is a loser, about to be joined in the loser ranks by Hillary.

Can someone please give me an example of how the press has been sexist against Hillary? Was it sexism that made her lie about being under sniper fire in Bosnia?

So now it's sexism that caused her to lose, it had nothing to do with running a bad campaign, lying to the American people, changing views depending on hwo to get votes from and flat out trying to change the rules in the middle of an election. NO all of those things had nothing to do with why so many people in the U.S. don't like her. Hillary it's only you that most people and now Hillaroldo is another that people don't like. Count to your self how many times you lied to the American people, count to your self how many times you and Bill brought up the race card, count to your self the times you brought up gender. All of these things were really touched on most by your staff. So don't come playing the gender card now!

As a 47 year old professional woman, I imagine I should be able to sniff out sexism in the media. I can't say I've detected it. The Clinton campaign seems to be doling out both gender and race cards. It seems time for them to fold and go home. I wish I could support her, but from the law suits against service workers caucuses in Nevada, to the delegates who won't be seated in FL and MI (rules to which she agreed), to her "I should get credit because it takes me longer to get ready in the morning", to complaining about getting the first questions in debates (which should be an advantage), every possible reason has been trotted out for her poor campaign. This is enough.

She is a sore loser and a lier. She says racism hasn't played a role. And she tried to use it to show that white people wouldn't vote for Obama.

"In an interview with the New York Times over the weekend, 1984 Democratic vice presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro – who supports Clinton — said she may not vote for Barack Obama if he is the party's nominee and said he has acted 'terribly sexist.'"

Will someone provide an example of Barack Obama acting "terribly sexist". Not his supporters, not some anonymous person wearing a T-shirt, but Senator Obama himself.

Hillay has gone of the deep end. She's turned into a dillusional crazy women. Could she really be Glenn Close. It's not the case that people are against a woman being president, JUST NOT THAT WOMAN. The sooner she understands that the better.

IT'S THE RIGHT TIME FOR A WOMAN TO BE PRESIDENT, JUST NOT THAT WOMAN.

OBAMA 08 AND FOREVER...

The good old boys club cannot fathom what she's talking about. It's not in their DNA structure to recognize when women are being treated unfairly for some of these power hungry guys. There's a long way to go for women's rights in this country, unlike many other areas of the world. What a shame since Americans are supposed to hold up the standard of equal rights for all.

I love men who love women and treat them with respect and fairness. The rest can get their kicks on a power trip that doesn't include real women which is no way to find real happiness.

Sexist? They've almost split the male vote right down the middle. This woman is nuts. Name me one time Obama was sexist against Clinton? Just one. Give me a break!

Now she wants to be a sore loser. She thought she had it in the bag from day one, but then came along this new guy. He's ahead because most of us are fed up with the old crowd in DC and we need some new blood with some new thinking.

The irony of course is that Hillary can't see her own deep-rooted sexism.

She's played the gender card this entire race, saying that people should vote for her, because she's a woman. That having a woman in the white house would be a major change.

In other words, she's instructing voters to practice reverse discrimination against male candidates. It's no less offensive than if she said "vote for me, because I'm white."

How, in a job interview, is a person's gender even relevant? She's a sexist, but just doesn't realize it.

Seriously? Sexism has played a part but not racism? They can't truly believe that. What about Obama supporters being called "n", vandalism, bomb threats etc? Both sexism and racism have played a part in this primary process and to cry otherwise to further your own cause is SHAMEFUL and should not be getting press.

"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. But the New York senator said sexist attitudes among voters and members of the 1media have been a constant detriment to her White House hopes."

Wow...this woman is definitely smoking crack.

Exit polls in the west virginia primaries showed that people voted based on race. 96% of the white is WV voted by race and 69% of those voted for hillary....but Hillary said that race has not played a role

Obama having is office Vandalised and people calling black volunteers N&*^%'s and while volunteers N*%^$# lover has not played a role in this race.

Having people say that they will not vote for Obama becuase of a flag pin, or because he called american's bitter or any other minute reason to avoid telling the truth that it's because of a black man...but according to HIllary, race is not a factor.

Racism is and has been a bigger factor in this race than sexism. Hilarry lost the votes of both men and women not because she was a woman, but because she was devisive, liar, panderer and tried to play america as fools with a gas tax holiday. Memorial day is MONDAY and there is nothing being done about a gas tax holiday from her or from McCain.

Hillary is a girl and Obama is black.
Id say the playing field is pretty even.

She is just getting nervous.

Sexism like racism is most effective and injurious when it is subtle. Overt sexism just gets you into trouble faster. Terms like "sweetie", "hon", "dear", etc. are demeaning and sexist.Though no offense is intended, damage is continued. When was the last time you heard a male politician described by the outfit they wore? Obama was wearing a wounderfully tailored pants-suit today (albeit without or without a flag lapel pin)!

Waaaa! Waaaaa! Waaaaaa!

Beyond desparate. Any other candidate in her position would be long gone by now.

Hilary there you go again moving the goal post. And as a woman I cannot understand how like lemmings other women are as they blindly vote and support clinton regardless of her lies. And I guess she and her supporters have said nothing negative or racist about Obama. Please..............I for one will nto be voting for a woman who lies, cheats, moves the goal post to try to get her way and pushes women into voting for her based on the fact shes a woman and wants us to.

The "iron my shirt" incident actually was reported on widely.

Ferarro never gave a single example of something Obama did that was sexist. She is such a liar.

Most reasonable people know that calling a woman "sweetie" is no more inappropriate than calling a man "buddy" or "pal"

Seriously? She will try anything to get any sort of support. Sexism in this country exists but not racism. Therefore I have the most votes and my hard working white votes count as 2/3 of a people more than his.

Hillary,
Please give it a rest and leave this race is some-kind-of dignity, for your own name sake. Please don't blame the media for your lost. You lost. Get over it already.
Obama wasn't the one who tried to change the rules of the game nor did he try to put fear in voters or play the race card. Obama beat you fair-and-square.

The moral of this race is: Good Always Win in the End

Ridiculous.

Suppose Sen. McCain said that Sen. Obama was not fit to occupy the White House? The Obama campaign would have a meltdown.

If racism handn't played a role in this election "The Deal" would have been closed long ago! Open your eyes not just halfway but completely.

I think that Geraldine Ferraro needs to stop injecting herself in the primary process. She has stated that she may not vote for Obama if his is the nominee, what kind of signal is that sending to the American people, as to how you should feel if you don't win? It says SORE LOSER to me. I have followed this primary since the beginning, and I haven't seen any sexism at all. I think that the Hillary campaign underestimated the Obama campaign, and that she got bad advice from her strategist, and others working in the Clinton camp. Yes I BELIEVE that Hillary Clinton is a fighter and she is very resilient, but the fact is that she can not overcome the math. It is what it is! The democratic party is divided enough without Geraldine Ferraro's ignorant comments. BY THE WAY, I am a true democrat if Barack doesn't win the nomination I will vote for Hillary.

While I'm sure it's true that Clinton has, unfortunately, been faced with sexism during her campaign, this seems like a desparate attempt to make people care once again about her deteriorating campaign. Sorry Hillary, we don't.

Note – I agree with the ARTICLE, not Judi in Minnesota.

If Obama had lost the nomination and gotten up on his soap box and said he didn't win because the country doesn't want a black guy to be president... That the media was being racist and that he lost because he is black, people would give him a really hard time.

Clinton lost.

She was the inevitable nominee, then the people just didn't give her enough votes to win.

Of the two candidates Obama has gotten FAR worse press and for longer. Bitter-gate and Rev. Wright dominated the news cycle for WEEKS AND WEEKS.

Don't be a sore loser.

Yawwwwn!

You are exactly right.

Please stay in the race and keep fighting for USA even though some in the Democratic Party dislike you. You are the only hope for USA in the 8 years come.

Respect you and appreciate you from the bottom of our hearts.

Well, if she says it, it must be true.

Playing the gender card.......

Go Away!

How low will she go,enough is enough don't cry foul after the writtings on the wall.

I am not a Clinton supporter, buthave defended her since the 90s against some of the misogynistic attacks that have been made on her. That being said, she has done her worst to live down to those same attacks, and her claim that the media have ignored sexism is just plain inaccurate.

The media, far from ignoring the sexism Clinton has faced, tend to couch all of their discussion of both democratic contenders' campaigns almost entirely in terms of identity politics.

I agree. I have been deeply offended by the sexist remarks – largely from the Obama camp and Obama himself. He should consider that this attitude – like calling a reporter "Sweetie" while blowing off her question – is not going to win over many of the women supporting Hillary should he end up the nominee.

I tend to agree with the fact that there does not seem to be the same coverage when someone makes a sexist comment as there is when there is a racisest comment. Wonder why that is??
GO HILLARY!!

save your sorry excuses and try to handle this loss like an ADULT

Ferraro and ultra-feminists are disillusional. Just because Obama called a female reporter "sweetie" that constitutes sexism?

Regarding people in the audience with signs...obviously there are idiots out there. I'm willing to wager the audience member(s) in question are in reality Republicans looking to start trouble i.e. Rush Limbaugh's Operation Chaos.

What? Racism didn't play a part in this primary? That's bull. It has played a huge part on all sides of the color wheel. I live in Tennessee and I know of a LOT of people who voted for Hillary because they said they would never vote for a black man. Now that she's losing she wants to call everyone who doesn't vote for her a misogynist? She never stops blowing my mind in a bad way.

Speaking as a woman, I wouldn't vote for Hillary because I don't particularly approve of her negative attitude and other things. It has nothing to do with her also be female. Give me a break, I am smart enought to decide the person I like on her/his merits – not because one is female and one is male.

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

Enough already!!!! This woman makes me sick. This is after she has interjected race in this contest with every opportunity.

Can't you just bow out gracefully?

Hillary does NOT have the morals of a woman that I want anywhere near the White House.

A LOT of women feel as I do. Hillary has given women a bad name.

Hillary could not and would not win in November.

A lot of women are sick and tired of her.

You're telling me your're getting all up in arms about a shirt that says 'iron my shirt'? I've paid attention to the race and I don't recall much if any sexist attitudes showing up. Sounds to me like sour grapes because the nomination that was once inevitable has all but slipped away. Can anyone give instances of sexism? And if so can you show a consistent amount of it throughout the campaign? And Ferraro saying Obama has been terribly sexist just isnt true either. He is under too much scrutiny and had he said or done something sexist we would've heard about it for days. Lets all get real about this.

Much as I love Hillary...she really needs to understand that I highly doubt that sexism was her problem! At the beginning of this primary season she was the presumptive nominee...the one person we were waiting for to save us from Bush! Then Barack came...a young up and coming Senator thats making waves across the country! Something Hillary could've done with ease by her name alone! She was on every news network from here to Al-jazeera! However, the upstart is teh upset to this whole thing! The underdog has out campaigned a person with "35 years experience with ease! Thats not sexism THATS THE STORY! Thats not bias...THAT'S THE STORY! She has so beautifully and eloquently taken the underdog role that we almost forgot who she was BEFORE this! Hillary cant blame anyone but her own campaign for this debacle! Pride is always before the fall...no matter if your male or female!!

Sen. Clinton, please pretty please. Lets stop the fighting. The fight is NOT about you, its about the people of America. We're hurting, its about US!! We're choosing UNITY over division. OBAMA '08 USA....

Hillary...quit whining...you lost...get over it. If you really want to show your leadership qualities, accept defeat with grace, support your team and be the best Senator you can be.

yea right she does not believe racism played a part because she is the one who played it. she must be losing her bearings fr sure.

Let the attacks begin 3.....2......1 GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There has been no racism in this campaign? Give me a break! Lots of expletives have been hurled at Obama but he has been quiet. She is complaining because of who she is. She played the race card right from the beginning and now she is complaining? Of course there are sexists out there and she has been subjected to some humiliating treatment. But to say that Obama has not endured the same shows just how out of touch Clinton is with the situation in this country. Racism has very much been part of the campaign.

Good for you, Hillary. Don't let the Obama swift-boaters knock you out. Their campaign reeks of sexism. What's worse, though, are all the schoolgirl crushes many of his college-aged supporters seem to have on him, and support this man instead of backing a powerful woman. I guess Justin Timberlake should run in 2012.

So typical. And right on "cue" just like every other "Super Tuesday"....here comes the "kitchen sink" again....so duck! So now she's trying to paint Obama as "sexist". Give me a break. And to say there has been no racism in this race. What a jole. And the sad part is that there's actually going to be people out there that believe this crock of bull. It's a shame that Hilary has to sink so low and is willing to just to win. What a shame. What a whiner. And she's the one saying, "If you can't stand the heat get out the kitchen." What a hypocrit. I'm so ashamed of Hilary right now that it's not even funny. And I'm very clear on this, if Hilary wins the nomination through these tacktics or cause Obama to be wounded going into the general, there will be a riot in the streets. If you think the county is "elevated and involved" now, wait to see what happens if this nomination is swept out from under Obama by Hilary and her evilness. Mark my words, there will be a price to pay, and it wont just be the presidency in 2009

somebody shut this lady up before she destroys the party. I mean come on this is getting rediculous.

Wow... wow... to say that racism and sexism should be treated equally, and then to say that sexism has played a role in the campaign while racism hasn't... wow.

Sexism AND racism have both played a role in the campaign. From my estimation, the role has been about equal. But don't play up the sexism while diminishing the racism, Senator Clinton. It's disingenuous.

"Racism has played no role in the campaign so far?" What a myopic moron Hillary is. And this is coming from a woman who's able to see both sexism and racism at play, not just one of them. In fact, racism is much more of a factor in WV according to the exit polls.

This is getting ridiculous. There is no doubt that sexism has been a major issue but to deny that racism has been an issue is pure garbage. I am desparately trying not to write her off as completely toxic to the process of trying to heal the DRC rift, but she is making it tough. I'm starting to believe that she would rather have McCain win so she can come back in 2012

WAAAAAAAA WAAAAAAAAAA again with whiny old Hillary.... try for AGEISM too, you old HAG..... YOU STILL LOST THE NOMINATION....

SHUT UP AND GO AWAY

boo hoo Clinton. How many death threats have you recevied for being a woman? There has been rasicm and sexism in the campaign. If Obama would have said a word about being called "boy" by a Kentucky Congressman, he "would be playing the race card." Give me a break.

Ohhhh...now I understand the race-baiting. It was about evening out the playing field!

There has been little to no sexism in this campaign. If you attribute people choosing Obama over Clinton to sexism, then you need to think again... maybe Obama is favored for his stance on the issues, his intelligence, and his honesty. I'm all for a woman president, just not Hillary Clinton. But don't go telling me I'm sexist, because I'm not.

This is just Clinton and Ferraro being sore losers because the better candidate is prevailing. Give me one sexist remark the media has made (other than FOX news) and I'll take this all back...

It isn't sexism to vote against Senator Clinton. I do not like her personality, I don't believe she is trustworthy, and I don't think she is skilled enough diplomatically to get anything done for ourt country. I wouldn't mind having a woman president at all. I have had female bosses half of my working career and most have been wonderful. Sorry folks, it has nothing to do with her gender for me.

It is interesting to note how many people will vote for her just because she is a woman. Think this out folks. Sexism works both ways. Sexism has helped her more than hurt her. Check out the exit poles if you don't believe that. In virtually every primary woman greatly out number men and in nearly all of those states the woman went for Clinton.

Kind of silly to call the results of this election sexist.

Racism is definitely playing a role in the primaries. Look at West Virginia and Kentucky.

I don't think I agree with the sexism claim. This seems to be another spin from her campaign, she always try to stray people away from the fact that she can't win the democratic race.

Hillary's hit list for why she lost the nomination:

1. The Press
2. Bill and his lousy advice
3. Voters that like blacks and would vote for one
4. Voters that can count
5. Her vote on authorizing the Iraq war

Oh well, live and learn.....

Mrs. Clinton,
With all due respect, you have been using the "woman card" whenever it has been advantageous for you during the entire primary.

Now you are using it to gain sympathy from women voters now that you see that the race is over for you. SHAME ON YOU!

BTW, a great deal of women and womens organizations have come out for Obama. It is what it is....stop trying to devide the country again.

OBAMA '08!

Look below this article and see her with the nation's #1 misogynist!

And Mrs. Ferraro this morning thought the Jay Z hip hop shoulder brush off was SEXIST? I think the "iron my shirts" guy was a Clinton plant – put there purposely to activate the women for her!

Sorry, this hard working white female baby boomer has no sympathy for her.

Give some examples, please.

I was originally an Edwards voter and now support Obama. But Senator Clinton is right on here.

Sexism is more deeply ingrained in American society than racism and is more easily tolerated in the press.

In fact, the press participates. Here's just one example. They label Senator Clinton's laugh a "cackle" while saying nothing about how Senator Obama's accent varies according to where he is speaking.

More examples would be possible. But its clear that you have to go so far as to accuse the Clinton's of "pimping" their daughter to be called to account. Anything short of that, and the guys that run the networks don't even notice.

Hillary, it's not that you're a woman. It's that you're a dishonest conniving woman. Big difference.

If the Dems ran a woman who actually spoke the truth and didn't play to the lowest common denominator of the public, that woman would be winning.

Your losing has NOTHING to do with misogyny.

Nice try tho.

In other words: "Women, please vote for me today."

And wow, could we use that one "Iron my shirt" guy once more? It's only been used 9,000,040,034,434 times since last week to prove that all of America is sexist.

old girl need to stop crying. with all the overt racism that has been spewed at the obamas and she has ferraro complaining about a sign that says "iron my shirt?" are you for real.

note to hillary, if bill refers to people picking on a "girl" and you play the race and gender card to suit your purposes, do not think this woman is going to come running to your side just because you have a vagina!

Somebody tell me what this woman is ranting about now. What sexism?

The mainstream media has clearly been in favor of Obama throughout this entire race. They also trashed Howard Dean and 2004 and annointed Kerry. How far did that get democrats?

OH More BS and excuses from a loser!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm, Billery Clinidiot introdcued Race as an issue, even before the republicans did. And it was only Billery that raised her sex as an issue, to make it seem as if others were raising it.

That is why Billery has no supporters, except for the republicans that only wish she was the nominee against McInsane.

Obama 08,

RIP for the GOP, finally- no more american-hating repugnicans destroying America.

I would love to hear one peice of evidence of Sexism in this campaign.

Okay, so because she is a woman sexism has played a role which is a logical statement. Then she has the nerve to say race has not been an issue when her opponent is an african american. Go away you desperate pain in the rear.

Hillary has put up with it all including the current attempt by the DNC to handicap her campaing by taking away Florida and Michigan! Why don't we take away two of Obama's biggest wins and see how things look afterwards. I agree completely with Geraldine Ferraro. These are the kind of women we could have running the country and getting results. Why not? But sex and race are not the problem when all is considered. Experience is! Intelligence is! Knowing where you want to take the country and how to get there is! Determination and courage in the face of difficult challenges, including foreign threats to world stability. Obama has none of these, so why select him to lose to McCain in November?

That's really funny, because I have heard many more racist remarks than sexist remarks in this campaign. The only sexist remarks I've heard are coming from Ferraro.

Clinton is grasping for straws. If she keeps this up, she'll be damaging any credibility she has left.

I am still amazed how low she will swing in order to get what she wants. If she wants to complain about alleged sexism, why doesn't she apoligize for her "spoken"racism of both her and Bill Clinton. I am sorry, but you can't have it both ways. You wanted to play on the playground, but you also want to cry foul because your were picked on? I'm sorry Sen. Clinton, but as we say down south, "That dog don't hunt"!

What a load. Of course race has played a part among her uneducated white voters. Not all of them, mind you, but some. Also, she is crying fowl at the last minute... big surprise. I for one would love to have a woman president, but not her. She's definitely the wrong one for the job.

Hey Hillary...what about the racism that the press is also ignoring. Mainly from your supports in WV and KY...hanging up on people, death threats, bomb threats. You dont hear Barack crying about that do you? I guess when all else fails...you can pull this card.

I hope you bow out soon and preserve what little dignity you have left.

Obama/Bloomberg 08

Give me a break...you only won West Virginia because of the white vote and you're saying there's no racism?

Equality means competing equally as men and women – black and white. Which means we win or lose without excuses or playing victim cards. You can't herald your accomplishments as a woman playing a man's game then play the Chick Card when start to lose at that game.

If gender were really an issue in this election, then the two leading candidates would be Obama and Edwards; just as if racism were really an issue Clinton and Edwards would be the two leading candidates.

I don't think it helps women in the big picture to play victim cards for a sympathy vote.

SEXISM? You mean gender discrimination? Lady! Wake up smell coffee, Obama beats you in support of female voters. Actually he also leads you in white voters.

the clintonians frequently say that remarks such as "hillary wouldn't be where she is but for being married to bill" are sexist and off limits – the truth is she made it an issue my claiming a tremendous superiority in experience – which in her career has mostly been as "first lady" – she specifically claims her "first-ladyship" as a major part of her resume – furthermore she has deliberately tried to capitolize on bill's resume and popularity with some groups by allowing the probability that bill would have a role in her administration beyond "first-husband/gentlemanship" – so these statements are relevant and fair game and TRUE (and in NO way sexist as the argument would apply equally to a man in her position).

THESE ARE THE SAME OLD SAME OLD DOUBLE STANDARD "LET'S HAVE OUR CAKE AND EAT IT, TOO" CLINTONS – THEY ARE A BLIGHT ON THE NATIONAL STAGE AND CARE SO MUCH ABOUT GETTING BACK IN POWER THEY WILL (AND HAVE) SELL THEIR INFLUENCE TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER – WAL-STREET – CHINA – PETROLEUM – PHARMACEUTICALS – INSURANCE – YOU NAME IT (AS IF THERE ARE ANY DIFFERENCES IN THOSE GROUPS ANYMORE THANKS TO THE MEGA-MERGERS BILL ALLOWED IN THE 90'S) – WHY DO YOU THINK LIMBAUGH AND MURDOCH WANT HILLARY TO WIN ???? (THEY HATE MCCAIN AND OBAMA WHO ARE BOTH MUCH LESS LIKELY TO SELLOUT) – THE FAT CATS ALL KNOW WHICH SIDE THEIR BREAD IS BUTTERED ON.

OH BROTHER !!!

Here we go again.

Obama 08'/12'

Well... Carville said you had cajones.

No, no, no, NO Hillary! You were doing so well, focusing on the issues! Now I'm disappointed again. Please, for the sake of the women you claim to be fighting for, save the gender equality fight for another arena – this is the wrong time, wrong place.

this is foolishness, the only reason billary is playing the sexist card is because she has lost. I swear this woman went from the inevitable nominee to whining about an issue that is largely nonexistent! Go HOME!!!

stop your whining, theres bigger fish to fry like the economy – iraq(your issue that you voted yes for)

This coming from the woman that cried when she was against the wall.
Please Hillary first you say that you can play with big boys and then you say voters have been sexist. Right. Your delusions need to be treated ASAP.

I am a woman and darlin you asked for it all.

I could not agree more with Hillary. It is not important that she get the nomination. It is important that she speak out not only about sexism but the malicious and petty behavior of the press who is virtually accountable to no one.

There's a lot of "ISM's out there this political season. Let's put all the ism's to bed and get on with the process...

the press like the bloggers are being paid to do the great dictators bidding...money talks and morals walk !!!!!!!!

What is Clinton up to? Is she campaigning for the VP position by inferring sexism, so that at the end of the day she'll be brought in to help win the women vote?
Stop digging HRC.

Give me a break Hillary! So now if your chance at being president fails it's because of sexism...this will be the excuse that you use, I can see it now. Oh no...it's not because of the failed campaign that you ran..or the mudslinging or the lies that you told..it can't be that. You think Obama has had it any easier? Please..there are people who won't vote for him because of the color of his skin so he has had just a hard of time if not harder than you because he doesn't have a famous name to catapult him to the top. Excuses are like..well, let's just say that everyone has one.

If Obama was crying like this about the Race issues that have CLEARLY had a play in this cycle people would be OUTRAGED!!! The Clintons have lost all respect from us and I doubt they even respect themselves anymore.

Why is this woman (Ferraro) stil making waves. You know, Hillary was actualy turning a corner on her methods to try and win a nomination but this has taken it to an all time low. Both sides have experienced backlash from ignorant opposition. It is not like CNN reported every time someone threatened the Obama campaaign about him being black.

This has really taken things to a all time low for Hilary. To try and play this card at this time only speaks to how much of a sore looser and I emphasize the word LOOSER she is.

Poor last ditched effort to try and win a nomination and only fuel the fire to try and divide the party. I guess hell hath no rath like a womans scorn only for her to try and screw Obama out of the election only for her to stand back up again to try and tell the public "I told you so".

I guess after Obama finishes his two terms, there will be no hope for Hilary in the future. This all goes on record you Clinton campaign A.K.A IDIOTS!

The nerve this woman has!

I'm sick of this sexist crap. This is talk from a generation that doesn't see much ground it has broken for the younger generation. They are making a much bigger issue of something that isn't that big of an issue anymore. They would be lost if the issue were solved. As a woman, and a woman who has been in the workplace (in an industry dominated by men), I am disgusted by the behavior of these women. I am outraged by Ferraro and Clinton for portraying things like this. They are looking for excuses. Clinton is losing because she mismanaged her campaign and did not run a good campaign. It is not because of the media, she is losing because of herself. As a woman, I wanted to vote for her but found I could not. She doesn't have what I want in a leader for this country. I will not vote for her just because she is a woman. Clinton and Ferraro are setting women back, not bringing them forward. I'm ashamed of both of them.

It's only sexism if she dosent win.

If you can't stand the heat...get out of the kitchen

What now Hillary...you should go ahead and endorse Obama then request for the VP spot if you want.

I am a man, and I agree with her. Baking cookies, ironing shirt, all kind of sexist messages. It is funny that Obama himself calls these distractions when against him. I used to like Obama, now there is no way I will vote for him. Not only because of his tactics, but also because his so-called policy has no substance.

Dumb, just dumb comments. No racism? Just sexism? Are you kidding me? I know you're a female Hillary, but let's not pander to voters and cry foul. Most people didn't like you because of your personality, not because you are a female. Yes there was sexist comments, but I saw far less of that than racism in this race. Both are horrible, but come on. Let's get real. You need to start blaming yourself, or at least taking responsibilities for losing the nomination.

Basically I'm saying, your bad judgments and personality far out weighed the sexism you went through in this campaign. Stop pushing off the blame and be the person you need to be to help lead the country.

They're trying to seperate the Women from the Men... They should seperate the Boy (Obama), from the rest...

Clinton is wrong. The Americans would like to vote for a woman. Just not for THAT woman.

When has Obama been a sexist?

Hillary plays the race card and the gender card. You NEVER hear Obama say how great it would be for a black man to be president but Hillary often mentions how important it would be for a woman to be president.

The "iron my shirt" guy was on the news and it was pathetic. And, the media covered it as such.

The most sexist thing in this whole primary was a FEMALE radio host using UNEXCEPTABLE language when discribing how awful Ferraro was acting...and Ferraro was making ridiculous statements earlier in the primary.

BRING THE PARTY TOGETHER... HILLARY IS STILL TRYING TO DIVIDE AND CONQUER THE PARTY.

1. Hillary is the 1st woman ever to run for President. She is tough as nails and I am so proud to have lived in a generation that not only is a woman running, but I believe the BEST candidate running!
2. Florida and Michigan...when DNC gets off their butts and count these two, we will win!
3. Caucus's are flaud and they won't be in the General. This would be a BIG advantage to Hillary and that is one of the reasons she will legitamately beat John McCain.
4. Delegates needed are 2210, not 2025, like Obama's people would like us to believe.
5. Republicans will have to vote for their candidate in the General, not switch over to Obama like they did in the Primary.

Hillary will win and she is the BEST choice for America

Is that the best she could come up with? Here is the kitchen sink!

Playing the gender card? AGAIN????

Senator Clinton you are consistantly trying to lay blame on everyone and everything but you poorly run campaign. To put it in sports terms, you were simply outplayed. You, nor your team were prepared for this competition and it showed. First you have Farro lead in and then you follow with this garbage. The Democrats had two great candidates and one has prevailed. just swallow your pride and admit that you fought hard, but came up short. A true winner is know for nor how well he or she wins, but how he or she handles a loss. This is over. How you exit (good or bad) is entirely up to you. Time to unite the party. Please stop trying to mislead the voters to think this was stolen from you. Simply put, you lost.

Obama 08!!!

This is bull.

You could not win the nomination Hillary because you are divisive, robotic, aggravating and just plain annnoying. It has obsolutely nothing to do with being a woman. Any male candidate with the same personality flaws would also not be nominated. If the voters and media are against anything it is people who are annoying regardless of their gender. And you Hillary are annoying.

Whinning again?

What she fails to understand that there are different types of women in the world, and that people actually want a female president... just not "her". She's strong and all... but offers a lot that a lot of people dont like (low ethics, no change, abrasive, little trust, duel presidency, lies, lobbyists, secrecy, the most earmarks, entitlement image etc.)

I'm waiting for the next female candidate... probably within 20 yrs for sure by the looks of the upcoming generations!

Today's new flash:

Ferraro back in the 70's you didn't win b/c Americans to chose you.

Today...some 30 years later.

Hillary is not chosen b/c again Americans did not chose her. Woman have fought many battles and will continue even after Barack is President, but come on let's be honest.

WE JUST DIDN'T THINK HILLARY (use her maiden name when convenient) Rodham Clinton was the person to lead the country. She used her first name to separate herself from Bill Clinton, but conveniently used it when she thought it would further her run.

Not this time, not this year, not on this WATCH. Hillary ran a horrible campaign and I'm just glad she revealed the proof that was needed to see her TRUE self.

Good Bye May 20th is a WRAP.

Ummmm, If Im not mistaken, she wore pant suits, just like Sen Obama. Your just in denial that you lost your chance at being the Democratic nominee and want to find another avenue to blame. GET OVER IT!

Operation Chaos is still in effect. Do not get played for a fool by the republicans.

Most of the democratic 'infighting' consists of republican plants posing as democrats.

A vote for McCain is a vote for 4 more years of Bush, or worse. Don't let yourself get used and deceived.

Vote Democrat '08

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA The PRESS won't help me play the GENDERCARD!!!! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I am a GURL!! Vote for me cause I am a GURL!!! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

You HAVE to do what I want ... I am a CLINTON!!!!

Yes it is true I have lost ALL semblance of respect for this woman and I don't feel ONE IOTA of shame mocking her. She has done this to herself and I am ashamed that I ever suppoted her or her husband.

Equality means that we compete equally as men and women – black and white, which means we get to win or lose like adults; no excuses. You can't herald your accomplishments as a woman playing a man's game and then play the Chick Card when you start to lose at the game.

If sexism were really an issue, then the two candidates would be Obama & Edwards. Just as, if race were really an issue, then the two candidates would be Clinton & Edwards.

she said. "I don't have time for their insults, I'm impervious to them." If this is true Hillary... then why are you making an issue of it.... Go Figure....!!!! Just another desparate attempt at getting sympathy just during a voting day.... see a pattern????????

Newsflash!!!::::::::::::

HILLARY, YOU'RE NOT LOSING BECAUSE OF SEXISM! YOU'RE LOSING BECAUSE YOUR CAMPAIGN SUCKED AND YOUR WHOLE ATTITUDE HAS BEEN TOTALLY APPALLING TO THE PUBLIC @ LARGE.

And by the way....

OBAMA '08 & '12

Just like Hillary to stir up a rally so that women do not vote for Senator Obama. Hillary move on and take Geraldine Ferraro with you.

"sexism" is when you discriminate against someone based on their gender

what do you call it when you discriminate against someone solely on their inability to tell the truth....Hillaryism?

We do not support you because you are incapable of telling the truth – period!

She has not been as compelling a candidate as Obama. She started the game with high unfavorable ratings and didn't do much to salvage herself. I would love to see a woman president elected, but she did not fit the bill. I find the cry of sexism irrelevant. I am sure some older feminists will disagree, but this woman in her mid-forties doesn't care that Hillary is female, nor do I owe her allegiance on that basis.

oh right, Hillary. just another excuse now. it has nothing to do with the fact you are a polarizing liar.

Since they were covering you they weren't ignoring it Hill. You commited the racism and then turned around and cried about non-existant (or extremely isolated) sexism.

What you don't seem to get is that this isn't a rejection of women, it's a rejection of YOU.

Good god she looks old in that picture....She needs a face lift.

She can dish, but cannot take it. Go put on some make-up. You're lookin' rough, Hill.

ANYBODY BUT HILLARY IN 08!

If sexism were really an issue, then why are women deserting Clinton in droves instead of rallying to support her?
The problem is not her gender, but her character and all its flaws that have emerged throughout her campaign, chiefly her dishonesty and arrogance.

that's silly.it's not sexism,it's common sense.THIS woman shouldn't be president, THIS year.not because she's a woman,but,because of the woman she is.michelle obama is the type of woman i would want for president.she has integrity,and tells the truth.

I would like Ferraro to point out one instance, aside from the "Sweetie" comment (which is only arguably sexist), where Obama himself has been "terribly sexist."

Oh give me a break Hillary. Does the word grace mean anything to you? I live in a house of women and I tell my daughters every day they can do anything they want if they are willing to work for it. I would love to see a female president but not you. Why you ask? Because you are dishonest, and yes men don't have that market cornered. I teach my kids to do the right thing and conduct themselves with integrity and honesty. How could I do that and then turn around a support someone who has been caught so many times lying? Yes there are some who will not vote for you because you are a women just as some will not vote for Obama because he is black (at least half). But don't label everyone as sexist because you are losing, your lack of integrity got you there!

Obama '08

Thanks Hill from all the young women who don't support you because you merely propagate negative stereotypes and have set women back 50 + years!

Doesn't she pride on being "tough" and "resilient" and "sipping shots with the boys" and blah blah blah...

SO why does she start whinning about her gender?!

Barack Obama has never used race in his campaign yet Hillary often said to her female audience "Let's make history together". Using the gender card was OK for her when she was winning. What would Clinton supporters have said if Obama went in front of a black audience and said the same thing. C'mon people ... stop using excuses.

How many women voting for Hillary said it was because they want to see a woman as president during their lifetime?

And Ferraro.....that woman needs therapy.

As a woman, I can say that I do not believe it is sexism. She is being treated like every other candidate. The problem is, as a woman, she is accustomed to being treated with kinder gentler gloves. She can't have it both ways.

Sexist??? Let's see....it IS hard to remember she's technically female......

Sorry, Hillary your brand of corporate feminism is outdated and demeaning to the female gender. We are now in an age of global feminism that embraces a philosophy far beyond your myopic view for the rights of women everywhere.

Oh no, there's no racism in this election, just sexism against Hillary. What a joke. Guess she didn't hear some of the comments coming out of West Virginia. I can't support this woman.

How many kitchen sinks does this lady have !?

""she doesn't believe racism has played a role in the presidential campaign"" which is why hillary always refers to "WHITE" voters.

Hmmmmmmmmm........keep spinning "Sweetie!"

Nice way to try and say she lost because of the media!
Since when does the person behind the frontrunner gets equal news coverage?

The issue "race" color?

Hillary has used that race-card! So good to see she can't have it both ways!

Maybe she has a little point! A couple of weeks ago right before Indiana and North Carolina – all the news-media gave Rev. Wright 46% news coverage to Hillary's 42%! She wasn't complaining then!

Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha!

It got to her last week after her win in WV – got blown off the planet the next day with John Edwards and Obama news coverage and then the next day with the statement from Bush ----- so last week Hillary didn't get much coverage – because she is not the frontrunner!

Yes! The media focus on Mc Sane and Obama has got to be killing her!

Go Obama! Great to see a rookie bring down the Clintons!

Oh give me a break Hillary. Does the word grace mean anything to you? I live in a house of women and I tell my daughters every day they can do anything they want if they are willing to work for it. I would love to see a female president but not you. Why you ask? Because you are dishonest, and yes men don't have that market cornered. I teach my kids to do the right thing and conduct themselves with integrity and honesty. How could I do that and then turn around a support someone who has been caught so many times lying? Yes there are some who will not vote for you because you are a women just as some will not vote for Obama because he is black (at least half). But don't label everyone as sexist because you are losing, your lack of integrity got you there!

Hillary is just gasping at anyhing to try to stay alive in this race. She is not going to win. I really think she is trying to damage Obama by staying in this. She knows that she is in debt and if her supporters feel so strongly about her winning then why don't they bail her out of debt instead of Obama and the DNC?????????

Obama 08

Look up the word hypocrit in Webster's Dictionary and it says "see Hillary Clinton"How many times have we heard ,"I'm staying in this race for women all over this land."hard working white voters are for me"If these aren't sexist,racial statements what are they.Are there any groups called Men For Obama'?I did'nt think so.June 3 cannot come soon enough,then bye-bye!!!!

When all else fail, blame the press.

Another page right out of the Republican handbook.

So I guess this will be her excuse for losing the nomination...always blame it on someone else. Isn't that the Clinton mantra? Couldn't possibly be her own vitriol, divisiveness and hatred that lost her the votes.

This article is just sad. There has been racism and sexism in this election – both were surprising to me. I thought people in America generally were better than that.

At the same time, I think it is moronic to say there has been sexism but no racism – the exit polls have shown in multiple states that people who said race was important to their vote overwhelmingly voted for Hillary. Frankly, we have more hard evidence of racism there than sexism!

The sad part about the article is that Hillary is saying there hasn't been any racism, just sexism – somehow it is always about her – she knows better than anyone that it is a long, hard road to the White House, and that it has been tough for both her AND Obama.

Too many women are eager to portray Hillary as a victim. As I see it, she started out with enormous advantages, and her campaign squandered its opportunities, made crucial mistakes, for instance having no plan post Super Tuesday. Apparently, as far as Hillary is concerned, everybody's to blame but the candidate and the campaign she ran.

This is laughable!!!

I think she's finally lost it. Does anyone respect anything she says anymore? Such a shame to see the Clintons, with a history of great accomplishment, run their name into the ground with such speed.

hmmm... after 2 years of campaigning, and all else fails, she launches a new complaint: sexism

where was her concern about sexism when she was preparing for her coronation?

[btw -- I am a 57 y.o. white female]

Sure...play the victim...cue the violins...shed a tear.....and curtain!

PUT THIS ON TOP OF YOUR POLITICAL TICKLER HEADING OBAMA BIASED CNN!....SO EVERYONE CAN SEE THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR REPORTING!

HILLARY OR MCCAIN....NOBAMA..EVER!

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!!!!!

"she doesn't believe racism has played a role in the presidential campaign"

Can you say "WEST VIRGINIA"?!?!?!?!?!!!!

No.. Racism doesn't play a role because it doesn't hurt Hillary. Sexism does though since it hurts her.

That works both ways. You have women voting for Hillary only because she is a woman.

Give me a break.

The press has been very bias against Hillary, especially stone face
Jack Cafferty. Especially when he reads his bloggs, he makes sure
he gets all the positive about Obama, and all the negative about
Clinton.

How can CNN possibly have someone on the air that slobbers all
over himself at the mention of Obama's name.

SHAME ON YOU JACK, TAKE A FEW POINTERS FROM
LOU DOBBS.

As a woman, I'm appalled by all of this whining about sexism. Did Barack whine when his office received bomb threats in Indiana? Did he complain when his campaign headquarters in racist West VIrginia was VANDALIZED? PLEASE!

Hey if the polls suggest that Obamus has an insurmountable lead, did the pollsters go to Kentucky? Did they tell Kentucky and West Virginia about it? Why so much negative press about Hillary.

Every day I pick up the paper or turn on the TV there is negativism about Hillary. Surely the pundits and other idiotss could think of bad news for Obamus or McClain. Let's give Hillary a break.

I am sick of the negative press for Hillary

CNN MSNBC + obama = NO CREDIBILITY and UNTRUSTWORTHY!

your american idol obama will lose november

It's HILLARY OR MCCAIN....NOBAMA!

Oh give it up already Hillary.

Maybe it had a little bit to do with it but the vast majority of the reason why you aren't doing well at all is all the crap you've pulled while you campaigned..

We all know it. So do you, but you refuse to bow out and are trying to pull any card you can to stay in.

We see the light. So be quiet already and go away.

Obama!
