A while ago I wrote about a poll suggesting that nobody would vote for Hillary because she’s a woman. This has really started to astound me. My dad was visiting last week and he told me that he didn’t think she’d have a chance. Granted, he’s against anyone who’s not GW being president, but he seemed to think that no woman could ever be elected to the Presidency.
I suppose time will tell (maybe as early as the primaries) whether real live voters will give any support to a woman. Hillary seems to be doing everything right to secure some votes from both the right and the left, but I haven’t met anyone who really supports her yet.
The survey about voting for women said that the people who claimed they would vote for women claimed that their friends wouldn’t - so maybe we’ll be surprised and we’ll find out at election time that we’re all more tolerant than we thought.
Or maybe Hillary will crash and burn.
