A group of Hillary Clinton supporters wants the Democratic national platform to include a line decrying "pervasive gender bias in the media," but a new poll of attitudes among women about the '08 campaign does not lend much support to the push.
The survey, a joint endeavor by well-known Republican pollster Kellyanne Conway and Democratic counterpart Celinda Lake, found that "despite all the talk about sexism in the presidential campaign, the majority of women voters laid the blame for Hillary's loss squarely on her and her strategists' shoulders; they largely reject gender as a cause of her demise."
The precise numbers: 34% said she lost "because of the kind of campaign she ran"; 31% said because of "who she is and what she stands for"; 21% said "because she is a woman."

American society needs old 60’s era left-wing dogma like a fish needs a bicycle.
Another story that can be deep-sixed.
Defeat? By all accounts Hillary won, did’nt she? They just did not count all the votes, like in MI and FL.
Hmm...might not at least some of the 31% who said it was because of “who she is and what she stands for” be including in that thinking that it was “because she is a woman.”
Anyhoo...just because people think something is true doesn’t actually make it true. All manner of people today believe all manner of things that simply aren’t true. I personally believe that Coventry City FC are the greatest football (soccer) team in the world, and THAT’s not true. :)
Hillary Clinton receives “pervasive gender bias in the media,”
ya, right, now tell me who, which, or what media are they speaking.
bwwwaaaahhhh!!!
