Clinton owes lead to support from women
msnbc ^ | 6/12/07

Posted on 06/12/2007 6:07:31 AM PDT by LouAvul

The consistent lead that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York has maintained over Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois and others in the race for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination is due largely to one factor: her support from women.

In the most recent Washington Post-ABC News poll, Clinton led Obama by a 2 to 1 margin among female voters. Her 15-point lead in the poll is entirely attributable to that margin. Clinton drew support from 51 percent of the women surveyed, compared with 24 percent who said they supported Obama and 11 percent who said they backed former senator John Edwards of North Carolina.

Clinton is drawing especially strong support from lower-income, lesser-educated women -- voters her campaign strategists describe as "women with needs." Obama, by contrast, is faring better among highly educated women, who his campaign says are interested in elevating the political discourse.

Battered woman syndrome.

Hillary plays the victim, which they can identify with, when actually they have an open marriage of convenience.

Hillary is only angry at Bill’s adultery when he gets exposed in public.

So she claims that she “did not know” and that she won’t be some “little woman” standing “by her man”. Even when he is accused publicly by numerous women of being a serial rapist.

So, in other words, uneducated women with "needs" - who, are generally (but not always) the less intelligent, less motivated ones, support Hillary.

Yup, that about sums it up. Stupid people support Hillary.

The smart women don’t support or trust her and they consider her least honest. That shows something.
