Isn't it wonderful being a female candidate for President? Irregardless of whether you're for her or against her, it seems odd to me that the Republican candidates seem to find that attacking her is the biggest assurance they have for gaining applause or laughter in a speech. Is it just Hiliary or is the thought of a woman running this country still too damn scary for men to even contemplate? Were her anatomy different, would she be subject to these attacks that grow daily? Wow, Hiliary, I'm so afraid. Let me act like a sixth grader again and call you names. Maybe you'll go hide behind mama's skirt and won't try to play with the big boys again.
Yes, this kind of behavior makes me furious. Mud-slinging in any campaign is campaigning at its lowest. Why should I expect any different from the party that brought us George Bush,though?

"The competition inside the GOP for who's the most anti-Hillary is going to pay dividends," said Greg Strimple, a GOP pollster and consultant who is not working with any presidential campaign. "Looking for that piece of anti-Hillary energy is what you're seeing right now."

The Republicans know they don't have a strong candidate and it's Hillary's race to lose. They are going to come out guns blazing. You think it's nasty now. Just wait until the new year.
You nailed it, Pris. It's all about her being a woman, and a woman, no less, who had the audacity to forgive her husband for adultery. Just how this is so despicable is unclear to me. One woman's blog went on and on about her choice in clothes and how Condi is better dressed. Please to me we choose our presidents by something other than their wardrobes.

I know...it's sickening and you're right, Collin. It's only bound to get worse.
