Women no sure bet for Clinton Despite her appeals for sisterhood, female loyalties split Carla Marinucci, Chronicle Political Writer

Sunday, March 11, 2007

In a historic campaign for the presidency, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is trying to ensure that as the Democratic woman in the contest she's the first choice of the Democratic women voting in the contest.

The issue was starkly evident last week, as the former first lady formally kicked off her campaign for women's votes -- while two titans of the women's movement dramatized their differing loyalties in the already bruising bout for the Democratic presidential nomination.

In one corner, Clinton stood with Ellen Malcolm -- the founder of Emily's List, the nation's largest political action committee and a powerful voice for Democratic pro-choice women's issues -- who said the New York senator's bid for the White House represents a watershed moment for women.

. . . who said the New York senator's bid for the White House represents a watershed moment for women.

Why is this any different than when Elizabeth Dole gave it a try? Oh, that's right, hillary! is a RAT, and only they count.

IF the evil sinator hillary! gets the nomination, then Malcolm be justified in making the comment.

Only women with stars in their eyes rather than divine wisdom in their hearts love Oprah. And as for Hillary....
she wouldn't get my vote even if she ran on the Republican ticket.

Dick Morris has been saying for months that Hillary's appeal to women, particularly young women, is the reason she will be elected president. I never did buy it.

There are a huge number of young women who will be 18 or over in Nov. 2008. Hillary's team is mobilizing on college campuses and her teacher footsoldiers are helping in the high schools. They will vote in record numbers for her just because she is a woman. I have no doubt.

I dunno depending on the youth vote hasn't been working real well for the left but they do it every time.

This time it's different. No one has the true believer foot soldiers like Hillary has. Their organization is second to none.

Again you may be right time will tell. I know a few die hard moonbats and they will not vote for her in the primary or the general.

Hard to say.

I will say we need a candidate from our side though and right now I'm not sold on anyone.
