He told me that democratic women in Massachusetts were livid about this and he feared a backlash at the Convention.  Hillary did not take it to the mat at the Convention and it therefore that backlash did not occur at least then.  But I expect the author is right that Coakley received strong support from women in Massachusetts.  If she runs for President I will support her as I did Hillary, even though I am a Republican.  But as to the proposition in general that women will support women candidates I am skeptical for the reasons the lady in West Virginia told me.  And look at how quickly the womens organizations sold their principles down the river to achieve power, and how little they have received in return.  But os all the things that remain a mystery to me, the decision by Jim Webb to support this health care monster which turns American citizens into vassals unless they are minorities that is the most imponderable thing of all.  I do not question his patriotism as I do with so many others.  I do however question his judgment.  I traveled all over the count as a campaign volunteer for Hillary Clinton.  As I went from state to state, I found many women who were either ambivalent or even hostile toward Hillary’s candidacy–a sentiment I could not understand.  Then one morning I happened to be standing at a street corner in Charlestown West Virginia in the rain.  I was holding up a three tiered Hillary for President sign waiving to passersby.  Beside me was an attractive middle aged lady who was running for pubilic office holding up her own sign.  I asked her why women in general were not fully supportive of Hillary given her historic candidacy.  She told me that the reason was too many of them had not left high school and were jealous.  I thought about that answer and decided there was some truth to it.  How else can you explain the petty vindictive attitude of a malignant dwarf like Andrea Mitchell, or the complete phoniness of Campbell Brown.  I have one other recollection of that stop on the campaign trail and that was a private discussion I had with a Boston attorney who was there to advise on legal issues which came up in the course of the campaign.  He was deeply concerned as I was about the uncivilized way Hillary was treated and the rampant sexism in the media.

She was one of our super dekagtes, one of the few who backed Hillary Clinton.  Our three most prominent super d's, ted kennedy, John Kerry, and Gov. Deval Patrick all back and campaigned for Obama even before the democratic primary, Despit state polls showing Hillary was favored by 25 points or so. Coak;ey cast her super'd vote for Hillary, evn after she released he delagtes. Non of the Knnedies endorsed her in this race. The party will do her no favors.

When actually, Hillary was denied a roll call vote at The Democratic National Convention. Yea, you women have come a long way baby. I'm watching the Democrats gut women's reproductive rights forever in a back door scheme as you are telling us how much things are improving for women? Is this a Christmas feel good story or what? I'd say women are going back to the stone age thanks to The Democrats. You really set the bar very low here. Revisionist much?
