Hillary
by Stratton
I would respectfully differ with the false perception pundits are placing on Iowa voters and women in general. The caucus has no relevance in determing the results of a primary. Women when scrutinized in front of males will not always vote their conscience. They are intimidated from the abuse they see Hillary withstand and not vote the same way they would if they had the privacy of a voting booth. In New Hampshire, they voted a true vote. Since most of the states are primaries, you will not get a true picture until the voting is over. So the men out there who think they know what they are talking about, take caution in your predictions. Women will not place themselves in a position for ridicule, but will vote their own minds when they are in the voting booth. The more everyone portrays Hillary as a villian, the more women look into their memory banks and experience demonized attacks on themselves that have been degrading. Stratton

Stratton,

I agree and think that this is a lot of what went on in Iowa and New Hampshire. Nevertheless, while I do think it is believable that women find solidarity with Clinton the more she is denigrated, I also am affraid it makes dubious assumptions about women voters. I am just curious if you know that this is the exact line of logic that Rush Limbaugh has followed since, I believe, November.
