If I were a woman, I'd be angry as hell at Hillary Clinton.

[TheWraith]

Whether it's the "everyone's picking on the girl" argument, the wild swings in tone, or the aura of entitlement and "You'll have me or you'll have no one," the Clinton campaign seems to have inadvertantly played into virtually every stereotype about powerful or ambitious women as being either cynical manipulators or incompetants advancing themselves by gaming the system.

Kathleen Sebelius, Jennifer Granholm, Janet Napolitano, Ruth Ann Minner, and Christine Gregoire didn't need to equate criticism of them with sexism, or blame the media for not giving them more good press, or pull out every dirty smear they could direct at their opponent. They ran smart, respectable campaigns, and they won because they were the right people for the job.

Consider the kind of image they project, and the role model they provide, compared to what Hillary Clinton has been doing. Respectable and undeniably qualified, versus power-hungry and the desire to win no matter the consequences. I don't have children, but if I had a daughter, I'd know which role model I'd want her to look up to. And if I were a woman, I'd be angry as hell at Hillary Clinton for damaging the image and reputation of powerful women across the country.

Of course, I'm not a woman. But I am a Democrat. So I'm still angry as hell at Hillary Clinton.
