Nobody likes opportunistic, selfish politicians |

And unfortunately, this is how Hillary is perceived in most circles. This has NOTHING to do with gender. Mitt Romney was treated with derision by peers and the media because he too was perceived as an opportunistic and selfish public "servant". If someone like Barbara Boxer was running for president, she'd be treated a lot more differently than Hillary Clinton because Boxer is seen as a selfless politician with great integrity. So please, don't try to act as if Hillary is a perfect candidate who could only be brought down by rampant sexism (btw, Hillary won the southern white male vote on Super Tuesday).

And it's not about specific policy differences. It's about political ability, political skill--which of them can inspire the people to vote for them. And she just doesn't seem to have Bill's talents. Obama has more than Bill, IMO.
And I think she only hurts herself when she continually plays the victim. That's cashing in on her gender and it doesn't make her look particularly strong. Strong women don't need to cry foul every day for little things.
