Today, the NY Times ran an op-ed piece. I would like you to at least read the first part and ask yourself the question at the end.
THE woman in question became a lawyer after some years as a community organizer, married a corporate lawyer and is the mother of two little girls, ages 9 and 6. Herself the daughter of a white American mother and a black African father — in this race-conscious country, she is considered black — she served as a state legislator for eight years, and became an inspirational voice for national unity.

Be honest: Do you think this is the biography of someone who could be elected to the United States Senate? After less than one term there, do you believe she could be a viable candidate to head the most powerful nation on earth?
The answer, clearly, is no.
Hillary has been described as 'cold', until she became 'overwrought' or 'lost her cool'. A man would have been described as 'logical' or 'calm' and then 'passionate' and 'warm'.
The judgement in the words that some on DKos and most in the MSM are applying to Hillary is shameful.
I would recommend going back and rereading the entire piece. Ms. Steinam is far more eloquent about the sexism embedded in this primary than I ever could be.
It is a sad day for women in America.
I recommend taking a look at this list. It is a list of women Presidential Candidates; it includes women from other countries as well. It is all too short.
