    This piling-on as you describe is not because she's a woman.

    It's because she's Hillary Clinton.

    When you have a candidate with such a severe case of entitlement and hubris, is it so shocking that the press gets out the knives when it smells blood?

    If she wants to play the game, it should be with a modicum of dignity and respect for her opponent. I hear a lot of talk about the need to play dirty in politics. But that's not what I want, and apparently it's now what a whole lot of other folks want either. If she wants to regain my respect, then enough of this talk about Florida and Michigan, enough of this talk about coercing and cajoling "automatic-delegates" if the popular vote does not go in her favor, enough of this pandering and do-what-it-takes attitude that says the ends justify the means. Enough.
