The real reason the Republicans fear Hillary Clinton
Advertisements [?]

She is a woman.

Yes. This race is about that unspoken, not PC thing called gender but more importantly it is about the un-polled masses, the invisible ones, the ones who never get a campaign phone call, the ones who have never voted before and may not even know the candidate's names.

The right fears the Mary Magdalene's of our day. They know that the day after a woman is nominated for President, millions upon millions of Marys will register to vote for the first time in their lives.

On a recent trip to Las Vegas I wore my Hillary button everywhere I went. A few local women came up to me and said they had registered to vote for the first time; just so they can vote for Hillary in the Nevada primary. Left out of society women, hookers and strippers. The hotel union members, bartenders and the women at my local convenience store who have told me the same story. Hard working women, single mothers struggling to provide for their children. They see in Hillary their chance to finally break through.

They see this not as Hillary's race, they see it as their race. They see it as their chance for the equal rights some still deny them. They see it as a fight for their children and the hope of a better world under a mother's guidance.

The days and months after Hillary is nominated will see the greatest voter registration the country has ever known. Latino women, white women, black women, Asian women and independent women will stand up with their sisters and be counted. Women who oppose Hillary in the caucus and primary's will joyously work to register these women and elect the first woman President. Many Republican men will be living in divided households, meekly explaining why they don't want a woman President.

But the real reason the Republicans fear Hillary. All those newly registered voters will be Democrats and Hillary may very well bring us the super majority that can carry us to 2016 and beyond.

Hillary Rodham Clinton is the greatest threat the GOP has ever faced. She is a Woman.
