Today the news is that she can't overcome Obama's delegates lead and superdelegate lead, so she should bow out.
These are the same voices that said she shouldn't win the nomination with superdelegates. But now, now that the super d's have switched in large numbers, the media and Obama line is that Hillary shouldn't even try to keep going.
See Newsweek, New York Times, San Francisco Gate, or Fox News (argueably these least testy of them).
Again, I know she is tough, loud and strong. Qualities that in a man are admirable and qualities that are in a woman bitchy. I know that she stayed with the man she was married to and made it work after a public and humiliating affair. Qualities that in a man are touching and family values, but in her case are calculated and devious.
But I think what pisses male commentators off the most is that whole the bitch just won't die story-line. She is like that Alien that keeps bouncing back up.
Contrast that with Huckabee who continued on long after McCain was the obvious nominee. He was fun. He brought up issues that voters wanted discussed. He gave people a choice. Hillary is only staying in it out of personal vaniety. Again -the official line on Hillary is that the bitch won't die. You watch Fox or MSNBC or most of CNN and see if you don't see that line of thought.
And yes, I like her - I think she has the balls to be President. But I like Obama too (well, not really, but I could easily support him).
But.... but you never hear the press discuss how Obama won't quit for the good of the party. Obama hasn't won a big state yet (except his home state). Obama is a dick because he can't read the writing on the wall. In fact, you didn't hear that about McCain last year as he was lost all his leads in the polls. Or Mitt Romey after he was OBVIOUSLY toast. I mean Hillary can easily still win this - and they want her to quit.
Let's have a nice discussion about the best Democrat (or let's not have it - I don't need to talk this damn thing to death). But let's stop with aggressively anti-woman line. And if you think it is anti-Clinton not anti-woman, look at how Nancy Polsi has been treated. We LOVE strong women in other countries (Margerat Thatcher, Goldie Mier, Indira Gandhi), just not so much here.
