6. I think women are less likely to support a military candidate
but I doubt it will hurt him in the general election. My concern about Clark is that he has spent his adult life in a very male dominated culture that has brushed aside allegations of sexual abuse by soldiers. I think Clark will have to have some very strong women on his staff, take some strong stands, and be outspoken to show that he understands the concerns of women. He has already made some of these statements, but he will have to take an agressive stance to prove it.

* gets away with his mysogeny because he has two daughters and high profile female advisors. If you don't pay much attention to politics, women think he is supportive of women. Clark will have to do the same with strong women advisors and then women will flock to him


Disclaimer: I like Clark. I am not bashing him just trying to discuss this because I do think he might have a problem unless he addresses this.
