Hell Hath No Fury!


Has Hillary arrived at the point where she is harming future female candidates? I always figured as a shrewd politician she understood the reality of her uphill battle and felt she was skilled enough to alter it. Now I am of the opinion that she just does not live in reality. I think she needs to evaluate the change in attitude of the common male democrat that may have supported her at one point. I talked to male Hillary supporters that seem to be quite disturbed by her failure to accept defeat. Not surprisingly I hear more and more unfavorable analogies liking Hillary to a “typical woman”.
She should be more concerned of who she represents as one of the first female candidates to be a serious contender for the Whitehouse. She is not only losing the support of people who voted for her, she is also altering the opinion of people who at some point respected her as a candidate. Mason Cooley once said “Losing gracefully is commended but never chosen.”, I think Hillary is past the point of commending.
