"...when she's feeling down"? All I'm pretty sure of is that nobody, in the history of politics, has ever said that a male candidate went on the attack "when he was feeling down".
I feel like I'm in an alternate reality lately. I keep seeing subtle sexist attacks that nobody pays attention to. Holding the chair at the debate. The suggestion that Clinton cried (she got a bit emotional, is that a crime?), and the suggestion that she did it just to manipulate the polls. Referring to Clinton as "the bitch". At the same time, every time anybody remotely related to Clinton's campaign even mentions anything vaguely racial and the Obama campaign in the same breath they are attacked for being racist. I didn't expect this. I thought that women could be what they wanted to be. I'm not so sure anymore.
