Racial equivalents of these comments, inserting slurs towards race instead of gender, would've easily and quickly earned their commentors unemployment status and a kiss goodbye to their careers. And this includes both male and female cohorts in BigMedia who conspired....yes, I said "conspired" to do in Hillary Clinton's image by painting her out as a shrill and nagging woman. "Who wants to hear that voice in the Whitehouse. Every husband has heard that shrill nagging voice."<br><br>Which always brings me back to the same topic: The GOP/BigMedia trap. If they were adamant enough to risk their careers to (hopefully) keep Hillary from being the nominee, there is some tangible thing they fear about her nomination. Unifying factor? Competancy? Real change? Take your pick.<br><br>Meanwhile their transparent promotion of Obama suggests their lack of confidence in his ability to affect change or unify the dems to gain a win. And sadly, they're right. They clearly do not see him as a threat. And given that they are masters at strategy. I'll take them at their "word". And that's why I'm supporting Hillary.
