Sex and Politics
Here is Michelle Malkin’s post about Hillary Clinton’s concession speech. I’m dumbfounded by the insistence that Clinton’s defeat by Barack Obama is the result of sexism. Men have been winning and losing presidential contests for eons. For every male winner, there has been a male loser. Why should the first female candidate be a winner? Why shouldn’t the first few women lose? It’ll do them good. We’ll know that sexism is dead not when a woman is elected president, but when women can lose presidential contests as gracefully as men do.
Addendum: Here is an early retrospective on the Clinton campaign.
