Clintonistas Under a Microscope


Hillary Clinton was the first woman to lose a major party's nomination for president and that's not sitting well for some of her more zealous feminist supporters. Michelle Goldberg writing in The New Republic analyzes the lasting legacy of feminist bitterness in her article, "3 A.M. for Feminism, Clinton dead enders and the crisis in the women's movement."

It's an eye-opener and is worth a close read regardless of which candidate you favoured:

I think you read way too much into it. With so much at stake one group or another would feel bitter about loosing. But if you think about it, what kind of a nutbar says.."I'm a Democrat that will vote Republican cuz my Democrat lost to another Democrat"...???
