Clinton losing women's vote in PA
Edited on Mon Apr-14-08 07:22 AM by not_too_L8
It's her own campaign


snip /
LEVITTOWN, Pa. — Like many women over 50, Paula Houwen was eager to vote for Hillary Clinton for president.

"I was impressed when she was first lady. She wasn't the country's trophy wife," the 56-year-old suburban Philadelphia pharmacist recalled.

Today, though, Houwen's no longer a Clinton fan.

"I do not like the way Hillary Clinton has run her campaign," she said.

Joan Schmidt, 60, a school psychologist in Levittown, grew tired of hearing Clinton tout — and exaggerate — her experience.

Jane Dovel, 68, an artist in Doylestown, turned away from Clinton after hearing the New York senator's reaction to Obama's comments that Ronald Reagan had been a "transformative political figure."

Clinton fired back that Republicans hadn't had better ideas. "I don't think it's a better idea to privatize Social Security," she said. "I don't think it's a better idea to eliminate the minimum wage."

That's not what Obama had said, recalled Dovel. "What Clinton said was a blatant lie," she said. "From that moment on, she was history. She was not to be trusted."

1. Look at the bar graph. She has double Obama's support among women.
The women are smarter. That's right!

3. The more people see Hillary, the more they recoil in horror....
...Yet there are still Hillary supporters who will not stand up against her BushJr/Rove tactics.

4. The more people that meet Sen. Clinton, the more likely it is they vote Obama
Usually the opposite is true. But Clinton brings out the worst in people. With Obama as the nominee in the GE, we don't have to worry about that.
