The "saddest" of all...
Posted by: Kevin McCullough at 2:07 PM


and the yentas mourned...

So I'm laying in bed just checking a couple of things before I call it a night, when the Lovely Bride starts getting superiorly indignant. She did so at what had to be one of the dumbest things that MSNBC has ever posted...

Just check some of the quotes...

First from the elderly:
"It would hurt my feelings a lot because I think she should be No. 1, she should be president," Heintzman said of Clinton's likely loss to Barack Obama. "Give a woman a chance to do something good."

From the not quite lucid:
"For us, getting a woman elected is major," said Laurine Glynn, 72, of New York City. "We've waited, fought a lot for this. I do worry that my generation won't see a female president."

From the delusional:
"Women are feeling a lot of sadness, disappointment and some anger as they look back at what happened in this race," said Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.

From those whose Geritol needs to be doubled:
Paula Horwitz, 84, of Pittsburgh, said some younger women "just don't understand. They'll elect a man, and the men will keep on telling the women what to do."

The School of the slightly obvious:
"What Hillary has done — win, lose or draw — has permanently changed the picture," says Marie Wilson, president of the White House Project, which trains women to run for office. "Next time, we're not going to have to prove that the public will vote for a woman. We won't have to prove competency. She has succeeded at that level."

From the school of tough luck:
"It will still be rough for women to come after her," she says. "They'll have to walk that balance of being strong and tough, compassionate and soft. When you're tough, you're called shrill, and the B-word. When you mist over, they say you're weeping."

From the... oh who the heck cares...
"It shows how fragile the loyalty and commitment of women to a female candidate is. That's a pretty scary thing," says Hirshman. "She can count on the female electorate to divide badly and not be reliable."

So a few questions...
Should a president be elected so as to not hurt some South Dakotan 81 year olds feelings? Is the greatest thing this next generation has to worry about is not seeing a female president? (Where does terrorism, economy, and social standards rank?) Was this race really that bad in the Democratic Primary? Seems to me there is a bit of history of bad blood in Democratic Primaries. And actually this seemed tame to me... Where are these men that get to tell women what to do? Let's just say I need to find them, I've got a former boss or two I wouldn't mind turning them loose on. What did that one quote above mean that the next female candidate won't have to prove competency? (Are they planning on tricking us and nominating morons?) And shouldn't ALL candidates, head into candidate believing that voters will divide normally way..?

Bonus parting question: Does two "x" chromosome guarantee some mysterious part of the electorate?
