FWIW

Hillary was never a real woman to start with. She’s only in politics because of Bill Clinton, and she was only considered the front runner for pres. early on because of Bill Clinton.

Most American women have very different lives and political views than Hillary does. Most women just couldn’t identify with her.

Let's see... One women rides her husband's coattails to power. The other achieved it on her own through her own hard work while raising a family.

Next.

[George Smiley]

Agreed. And it’s not worth much.

While "(t)he grail of female franchise yielded little meaningful progress in the years to follow", the decades since show real evidence of women's voting and governing - any casual reasearcher who ain't a fool can easily see how the female vote has turned almost every representative government in the Northern hemisphere into an tax-bloated mommy-nanniocracy.

The woman's vote equals big government, because female voters are milksop, security-blanket voters. No two ways about it. As Harry Stein wrote in City Journal today, "Lots of liberal women politicians call themselves strong and independent—and spend their careers relentlessly working for programs that increase people’s dependence on government."

Bright, strong, independent, competent women fooled again by the DemoRat party. I'm so surprised.

You can fool some of the people all of the time, but you can fool all of the NAGs all of the time. (forgive me, Pres. Lincoln)

I don’t like Hillary Clinton’s politics, but I do think she deserves credit for paving the way for other women.

I think we FReepers should give credit where credit is due. Hillary made people sit up and take notice and most people considered her as a serious candidate, not as a novelty candidate like Ferraro or Shirley Jackson, (though I think they deserve some credit, too).

I would never vote for a woman just because she is a woman, but now that there is a woman on the ticket who looks like a viable option, I am excited about the opportunity to vote for her.
