I'm not in a position to contradict it, but I find it hard to believe. There is a great deal of argument by extension in the whole process; if a few commentators were not respectful of Hillary, then there was a massive outpouring of sexism in the media. Because Hillary is a woman and she lost narrowly, there must be massive misogyny directed at any and all female candidates for president. None of it holds up under any kind of actual statistical scrutiny, but the argument serves a purpose for those making it, to vindicate the loss and the subsequent disappointment. And anything from Obama from now on that isn't perfect and successful will be proof by default that Hillary was right all along, and her loss was the result of unfairness and sexism. "Believing" is about all you can do with arguments like these. They only work when taken on faith by the faithful.

Check around SI.............it's here also. It doesn't matter how nasty Obama supporters are toward Hillary but should a person dare to say negatives about Obama? I have to admit that I have run into a rather hilarious response from some individuals. It's always fun to analyze people based on their social and economic status so I find this sexism curious. It's surprising to find leftists that are so completely biased and certainly are actually rightist in their reation to people who don't agree with them!! This campaign may have spawned forth a new form of Democrat........................the rightist lefty!! LOL I used to think Democrats were progressive. That thinking has changed ! I also need to point out that ALL Obama supporters are NOT crazed in their support of him.
