A woman and the Republican party may be a contradiction is philosophy.
Hillary just wasn't the lady to do it. It was for a while.
Your sex has the smartest of the both. It will come soon enough.
Those who decided against her are not sexists.
That is important to keep in mind.

at being the first woman, due to the constituency and bias of the both parties.<<

Patricia -

I don't think that's true. Hillary would have been the Democratic nominee this year, and would most likely have won in November, if it hadn't been for Obama. If he had decided not to run this year, she would have had clear sailing.

To some extent, I think it's just a matter of luck and timing.
