Faced with a growing chorus to abandon the uphill battle against Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination, Hillary Clinton is falling back on what she sees as her trump card - her gender.
At other perilous junctures like the eve of the New Hampshire primary and the eve of Super Tuesday, the former First Lady highlighted her femininity during televised tearful moments. Now she is portraying the calls for her to quit as male chauvinism.
In comments leaked to the New York Times, Mrs Clinton is said to have told aides that she would not be "bullied out" of the White House race and in a conversation with two allies compared her plight to "big boys" trying to bully a woman.
During a weekend interview with the Washington Post - arranged at her request - she was asked whether Mr Obama could beat John McCain, the Republican nominee.
She responded: "I'm saying I have a better chance. You cannot as a Democrat win the White House without a very big women's vote. What I believe is that women will turn out for me."
In the past 10 days, Senators Chris Dodd and Pat Leahy and Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico - all key Obama allies - have urged Mrs Clinton to abandon her presidential bid so her party can unite around the young Illinois senator.

What are they going to talk about between now and then?
schu
"I'm a girl, damn it! I wanna do girly things!"
Go Hillary! Don’t let those boys from the Boys Club stop you.
Go “girlfriend”!
You show those boys what YOU are made of.
For the sake of the country keep those Dems divided and vicious, er - be the WOMAN you are Hill - keep on trucking!
Hillary, forget that stand by your man stuff.
Hon, it’s YOUR TURN. The DEMS OWE YOU!
(LOL)
Instead it’s time to make Helen Reddy’s song
YOUR THEME SONG !!!!!
!!! GET Reddy Helen - I Am Woman ringtones !!!
I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an’ pretend
‘cause I’ve heard it all before
And I’ve been down there on the floor
No one’s ever gonna keep me down again
CHORUS
Oh yes I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
You can bend but never break me
‘cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
‘cause you’ve deepened the conviction in my soul
CHORUS
I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin’ arms across the land
But I’m still an embryo
With a long long way to go
Until I make my brother understand
Oh yes I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
Oh, I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
FADE
I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman

Be the MAN you are Hill. Go for it!
LOL!!!!!
I agree, 100 round drum magazines,
With any luck we would have nothing left but hamburg in both camps with Al Gore dragging his knuckles on the sidelines, nod, nod, wink, winking at the DNC.
A Nobel Laureate for president, and one who invented the internet!
I actually believe this story. I mean, if you were a Marine Recuiter, what would you say if she walked in.
I am guessing she also insisted on OCS.
Senator Clinton is not interested in Americans or what is best for the country - neither Obama/Michelle or Hillary/Bill would be good for the country, it can and will be torn asunder by any of them with their Socialist solutions regardless of the enormous success of capitalism which has made America the envy of all.
Senator McCain will not give my country away for some pie-in-the-sky utopian myth he will instead tell the bums to get out or get with the programs.
As far as I am concerned its millions of bucks worth of entertainment. Pass the popcorn and hope that Hillery NEVER GIVES UP! GO GURL! You show those men!
And perhaps she WOULD HAVE WON IF..........
I mean Obummer truly is a poofter light weight for a politician, he just has a few slick moves. He hasn't the strength to bowl, according to today's news? Buahahahahah! No wonder Hillery won't give up.
Not this woman nor my friends nor the women in my family. No way. No how.
