wonder if she can trade in her boobs for balls

Amid clamor to drop out, Clinton campaigns on Reuters:

"While the candidate once campaigned relentlessly with four or five events a day, she now has two or three. The number of press spokesmen with her is down to one from two, and the press corps barely fills one bus when once it filled two."

Yep because the media is still being ran by men. So they are going to do all they can to keep the women down.

You may not believe me ... because we tend to think of it as a pre-1970's thing ... but really its not.

Just listen to the way that people talk .. not the media, just people in general.

If there is an accident, it is inevitably going to be blamed either on 'woman applying makeup' or 'some gal on a cell phone' or 'must have been a woman driver' -- never mind the fact that it was actually a guy driving, or it was some man who made some aggressive move and made her go off the road. Never mind the fact that men seem to have more accidents then women.

Listen to the talk show hosts and how they view women, especially those on the radio, they talk as if all women spend too much, have no sense of money, are frivolous, are tree huggers, hate bugs, and don't care for sports or cylinder counts (thats a local thing).

When a woman won the Indy 500 this year I thought for sure it would lighten up ... it didn't.

It just became a new dig at women. "Look all this time and they finally found a woman who knew how to drive" ... " she was only in it because she followed traffic" .... "she thought she was on the way to the beauty parlor'...etc.

Women have only had the right to vote since the 1920's and it didn't really start getting accepted (as opposed to tolerated) until the 1980's when women started getting voted into major government posts. sure they would get into local offices, but hardly ever in a federal role.

Perhaps it is still this lingering feeling amongst the grey hairs in the media, those that own the papers and major news networks/companies, who can't seem to get behind Hillary - or any female actually.

They quashed Lily Dole (who I still think would have made a great candidate) ... but the prevailing thing I hear amongst my 'liberal' acquaintances is that 'the blacks deserve it more' ...

WHAT??

I'm sorry .... I don't think that the election should be used to put a band-aid over your little liberal heart!

I've got nothing against African Americans ... in fact I really wanted a tag team last round of Powell/Rice ... but for very different reasons than these people. Reasons based on politics, not 'ethnic guilt'

Colin Powell has a firm background in dealing with people of all levels ... you get that in spades when you are in the military - everyone has an equal chance of being a total screw up as anyone else, regardless of economics, race, religion, sex, age, geographic location, country of origin, etc. He has a reputation amongst foreign leaders and dignitaries already and keeps a watch on the pulse of things. He learned to make a firm and decisive move. he was a 'walk softly carry a big stick' kind of people.

And Condy -- well! The vice president has to go over to meet with dignitaries all the time. I think she would do best as VP ... well she did then, now I think she'd make a great Pres too ... especially since she would have to meet with leaders from those nations who would normally be forced to ignore her as a woman.

Just think of it. Your nation needs funding/protection of some sort ... you get a rare and well sought after appointment time with the incoming VP ... and it turns out to be Condy. How intimidating is that??

But the media would never allow it. Just look at the photos they have chosen to publish after the talk of her running first started up! Every photo of her made her look as if she were in the middle of major PMS -- like she was ready to rip the heads off anyone who spoke the wrong word. Then after she squelched the rumors of her running, then the nicer pics started running again.

Now we see the same thing happening to Hillary.

When it actually looked like she could win it the media hurried up and jumped on the Obama bandwagon. To the point, actually, where newspapers and news shows have lost their politic an 'neutralism'.
