GOP: Here's to Hillary's big party!

Nothing would delight Republicans more than for the Clintons to upstage Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention.

    Ah, the old charge of sexism.

    Clinton didn't lose because she ran an awful campaign, was divisive, phony, and had enough negative baggage to stuff a commerical airliner. It was all because she was a woman and those that didn't support her (even female voters apparently) want to rollback the 19th Amendment.

    What a crock.

    I didn't vote for Hillary because I find her untrustworthy and didn't think that because she had the Clinton brand name it entitled her to a coronation as soon as she became a contender. I guess that makes me a misogynist because I don't place sex as a priority for those seeking the nomination.
