Democratic women did not do well in 2006 election
The story below goes into depth on this, despite winning back the House in 2006, feamle Democratic candiates faired poorly...(story in right below "News from the Votemaster")

Which begs the question, can Hillary win in a GENERAL election?....

3. How do you know how the women did?
Because of the electronic voting machines there's absolutely no reason to have the slightest bit of confidence in election results across the US.

Jennings in FL and Busby in CA both supposedly lost but very likely would have won if the votes had been counted fairly.

When the vores are counted in total secrecy without verification, you can't have a democracy. Just can't happen.
