Obama had said that, "I can win her voters, but she can't win mine". What is wrong with Hillary making the exact same argument--i.e., "I can win white, working class voters", and he can't ? Is it a racial argument for her to make but not for him--especially since, in her case, it might be true? Explain yourself on this. By the way, Gore and Kerry had trouble winning WHITE, working class voters, so it was a totally legitimate electability argument for Hillary to make to the superdelegates, but according to Donna Brazile, Democrats "don't need" these voters--or Hispanic voters for that matter.
By the way, Mike Barnicle, Keith Olbermann, and Chris Matthews were the worst offenders of sexism during the primaries--all were liberals, and all worked for MSNBC, not Fox. Oh, and Obama, himself, made numerous sexist comments ("Claws coming out", "Periodically when she's down, she lashes out in order to boost her appeal"), and gestures (brushing his shoulders off when talking about Senator Clinton, or flipping her off at rallies). Not to mention, numerous Obama surrogates made sexist comments about Hillary, like Steve Cohen's "Fatal Attraction" comment, General McPeak's comment about Hillary "Having crying fits", and Jesse Jackson Jr.'s infamous comment about Hillary "crying for her hair, but not for Katrina victims". No, Obama ran a sexist campaign, with the help of the liberal media, and the DNC never once spoke up--can't blame this one on conservatives, they don't have "mind control".
