Ok Mary
What if Hillary had won and Obama said "She'll probably lose."

If there is the deep well of resentment about women in power, that would be a reasonable thing to say. But the POINT is, it's stupid PR. In fact it's amazingly stupid PR. If you really want your candidate to win, even if he's John Kerry, you don't say "He'll probably lose"- at the beginning of an election, if you are really a team player hoping to help your team.

There is room for commentators who will assess things cooly and dispassionately, but Hillary is allegedly a democrat and part of the party and she allegedly wants the democrats to win. In that light what she said is either stupid, or she really doesn't want Obama to win- for whatever reason- I won't begin to try to guess her motives.
