  • The Spite Vote

    I enjoyed your article and found many points you made to be right on the money. In particular, I find the attitude of disgruntled Clinton supporters who say they won't vote for Obama to be ridiculous and thick with irony. Their displaced anger and willingness to cut off their nose to spite their face in the name of battling sexism is laughable. ...

  • hitchens is right

    Great article! Here's another one on a related topic: http://www.miller-mccune.com/article/430 Lack of party recruitment, not voter sexism, limits women’s presence in politics, according to a new study.

  • Re: Are Hillary supporters soon to be called "cult followers

    Not all Clinton supporters are cult followers. I'm a former Clinton supporter and I can see some of the reasons there are still so many behind her; especially the older women. Older women (for arguments sake say, over 60) fought so hard against discrimination that this would be the crowning achievement in a struggle against sexism. Younger women ...

  • 74 Percent

    This is what women earn, compared to men. And it's worse for Black women, Hispanic women and Asian women. And try living on Social Security or a pension that is paid out based on how much you earn in your lifetime. Or try caring not only for children, but aging and ill parents, as well on earnings that are just 74% of men's wages. And try being ...

  • It's Ours If We Unite; But Who Have We Become?

    I confess at the outset that I am an Obama supporter. I suppose all active democrats are now supporters of one of the candidates; it is difficult to be neutral. I have made the argument for weeks that Obama cannot lose and that superdelegates should move now to Obama to avoid further bleeding. Before this week, the bleeding I was referring to ...

  • True/False Quiz for Geraldine and Hillary.

    Here is a true or false quiz for Senator Clinton and Geraldine Ferarro. Hint: All the answers are TRUE. 1. Obama would not be where he is if he had not been editor-in-chief of the Harvard Law Review and attracted national attention as a spectacular orator with a unifying message. T/F 2. Obama would not be where he is without putting together ...

  • Something Rotten In Hillaryland

    I have been so enthusiastic about politics this year as have most Democrats. I haven't even been much bothered by the occasional insensitive remark or deceptive argument. But two things are truly bothering me tonight about America and the Democratic primaries. First, it is plain that in many rural, southern, and conservative enclaves (such as ...

  • Re: Chelsa Clinton

    ''Do you even understand the ISSUE?'' Your simplistic dismissal of the query reveals exactly what is wrong with so-called ''news'' nowadays. Whatever his intent, using ''pimped'', ''pimped-out'', or any variation in reference to ANY public figure, not just Hilary and Bill's daughter, is at least graceless and vulgar, an should be considered far ...

  • "astute"?

    ''astute''? Those comments might get her a C in a junior college, but that's not the Oxford definition of the word. So Chelsea Clinton doesn't agree with all of Morgan's, I don't know, 10,000 points. ''Well, I agree with some of your points...'' is a tired college prevarication that indicates bullshit is about to be shoveled. I bet even Morgan ...

  • A Young(er) Woman's Perspective....Why Hillary (not Gloria)

    In recent days a steady stream of women have celebrated and lauded Gloria Steinem's recent piece in the NYT. Many encourage others to circulate the piece further. Respectfully, I disagree. Ms. Steinem's piece, though well intentioned I'm sure, pits the women's movement against the civil rights movement. Such false competition is divisive, ...
