We've got to remember; Joan says she thinks he would be a populist president. She says that she sort of places him above her in her mind; she gets the feeling that he thinks he is better than her or other people. I understand that it is important to look at how people are percieved. Joan feels that way about how he appears to her, but she THINKS very differently about him. Joan hasn't said as much about how Hillary is perceived. Most of us agree that sexism plays a role, but I'm sure Joan would agree that there are huge aspects of how Hillary can be percieved that aren't a function of sexism. It's fine with me to hear what Joan is worried about in terms of Obama perception. I guess if Hillary was winning we'd be hearing consistently from her about how badly Hillary can come across to Joan. I'm sure it has more to do with the fact that Obama is winning than anything else?
I wonder if Joan would be willing to share what she considers to be the way Hillary comes across. Nobody will accuse Joan of being sexist if she gives us such a list.
