113. I saw that - it was as if she just HAD to say it. Too bad there was no time to follow up on that.
She's obviously lost it.

I do wonder where this recent spate of "Hillary is losing because of sexism" accusations are coming from. Even Clinton herself is now outright complaining about sexism in the race while dismissing the impact that racism has had on it, as well.

One thing that is troubling about all of this is that the criticisms of sexism by Sen. Clinton and some of her supporters seem to be focused on how sexism has affected HILLARY, not how sexism impacts most women. On the other hand, whenever Obama has had to address racism in this race - usually because he has been pressed about it - he has turned it away from him personally and directed it toward a discussion about racism in America and how ALL people are affected by it.

I think it's unfortunate that Clinton has not used this as an opportunity to address sexism as it affects most women in this country, not how it may or may not have personally affected her. She still has a chance to do this - I hope she takes it.
