"Presidential campaigns are tough business, but being president of the United States is also tough business."
  • Edwards is right, of course.

    If a man, Republican or Democrat, had put on the same performance, his campaign would be over. Enough with playing the "you can't pick on Clinton because she's a girl" card. She has never had an uncalculated public moment and she never will. This time, she grossly miscalculated.

    I would never vote for her -- or Obama, for that matter -- for anything. What Edwards said is a plain fact. Nobody would even think to criticize him if he had said it about a man. I don't care what gender a good President is, but, yes, they have to be tougher than Clinton was pretending to be in this instance.
