Obama’s endorsements are piling up, and the cries for Hillary to exit the race are getting louder. But even if you’re not a Hillary fan, the claims that she alone is dividing the party seem ludicrous–certainly the Rev. Wright fiasco is as much to blame. Yet Hillary seems to determined to squander what little chance she has left of winning the nomination with her phony feminist outcries. Hillary played the gender card again over the weekend. According to a New York Times report, “Mrs. Clinton told aides that she would not be ‘bullied out’ of the race. In a conversation with two Democratic allies, she compared the situation to the ‘big boys’ trying to bully a woman, according to interviews with them.” Sorry, honey–that’s politics. Are women getting tired of her “poor little bullied woman” rhetoric? Although she still leads Obama by as much as 27 points among white women, her favorables are falling even among this group of core supporters. According to last week’s NBC/Wall Street Journal poll, “women voters with negative views [of Clinton] narrowly outstrip those with positive ones, 44% to 42%. That compares with her positive rating from 51% of women in the earlier March poll.” She should probably cut the pathetic “poor little me” act–if women aren’t buying it, who will?
