Women screamed? What was this, the Beatles tour of 1964? And when they weren't screaming, the fair-sex Obama fans who dominated the rally of 16,000 were saying things like: "Every time I hear him speak, I become more hopeful." Huh?"Women 'Falling for Obama,' " the story's headline read. Elsewhere around the country, women were falling for the presidential candidate literally. Connecticut radio talk show host Jim Vicevich has counted five separate instances in which women fainted at Obama rallies since last September. And I thought that fainting was supposed to be a relic of the sexist past, when patriarchs forced their wives and daughters to lace themselves into corsets that cut off their oxygen.
I can't help it, but reading about such episodes of screaming, gushing and swooning makes me wonder whether women -- I should say "we women," of course -- aren't the weaker sex after all. Or even the stupid sex, our brains permanently occluded by random emotions, psychosomatic flailings and distraction by the superficial. Women "are only children of a larger growth," wrote the 18th-century Earl of Chesterfield. Could he have been right?

The "Billary" is also completely inept at tiptoeing through the minefield of political correctness that she and her husband laid out in the 90s.
The Clinton's are very good at winning by destroying their opponents, which is just fine with the media since they have aways been those "evil republicans".
But Barack is a respectable black democrat, and the few criticisms the Clintons have leveled have been portrayed in the media as mean and racist. All I can say is welcome to our world Hillary.
Now all she has left to run on are ideas, and I can't remember a Clinton ever running on that.
