What I Want Clinton to say on Saturday

[MadBadger]

There is one thing that I want her to say. I want her to address sexism in the media. Look, I dont think there has been a ton of sexism in the media, I just think people dont like her because of who she is. But anyway, I think she needs to talk about the sexism that her supporters perceive in the media. She needs to say that it is the media and not Obama's fault (which it true). She needs to hammer home that Obama isnt sexist and hasnt been, and that he will be good for women.

That is the best message for her to make and of course that Obama won fair and square, and it wasnt stolen from her.

1. All I'm expecting is some half-hearted endorsement

with not a lot of being being too genuine sprinkled in...that's about the best we can hope for hnmnf...that'll have to do

2. I would also like Obama to address it.

I urge you to read this article. It does not (IMO) take sides on anything related to issues. But it shows how some stereotypes (Nurse Ratched, anyone?) have become so endemic to our culture we don't even notice them.

3. I'd like to see it too...

But I don't think she is capable of talking about anyone other than herself.

This is NOT said in hatred or as a snark.

My mother in law has the same issue....It is not conscious. It is simply her nature.

It's her movie and we are just extras who don't understand the script.

4. No there WAS a ton of sexism...Racism is a NONO..but sexism is fair game...Sorry.

5. I don't think that Saturday would be a good day to address that

It would look like sour grapes. It is an issue that must be raised, and she would be the perfect person to bring it up, but she needs to wait until after November for that.

Just sayin'

6. You dont understand

She needs to tell her strongest female supporters not to take their anger out on the media on Obama.

7. I don't think she needs to talk about anger

I think that she needs to keep her message positive. She needs not to frame herself as the loser, but as the supporter of the democratic nominee.
