This Woman Candidate in Particular

Hillary Clinton supporters are now whining that her failed candidacy can be attributable to rampant misogyny and sexism in the media and in the Obama campaign. Not surprising the feverishly incoherent Geraldine Ferraro is easily the most prominent spokeswoman of this particular point of view. In a recent FOX News interview, Ferraro's sundry complaints about how her candidate has been grievously wronged was on display for all to see. Hold up a minute. Hillary's failed efforts to secure the Democratic presidential nomination has far less to do with an anti-woman bias than it does a terribly flawed campaign and the baggage generated from the Clinton years in the White House. To be sure, there are some folks out there who will never support a woman but this campaign is not about women candidates in general but specifically about this woman candidate in particular.
