11. someone in another thread was just talking about inevitable
saying that Hillary had been pronounced inevitable because of her strong resume of 35 years and was being passed up by this fad of a campaign. The person suggested that it was a gender issue, that Hillary is superior to Obama, but that it's people's gender bias that's getting in the way. The poster lamented what we would tell our daughters, that even though they might have superior resumes they still won't get the job over some man.

I thought it was a rather large load of horsehockey.

She was pronounced inevitable because of how she was polling at the time. Republican pundits called her that, I suspect, because they hope to run against her. They called her flawless and inevitable. She would seem less so now.

It was that sort of talk early on, as if we might as well not even vote, that turned me of months ago. Arrogance indeed.

It's nice to know that resistance is not futile, that I need not be assimilated.
