127. The double-standard has more to do with Clinton Machiavellian-ism than any other 'ism.'
It was more the manipulation of the 'isms' by the Clintons in a sad symbiosis with their sense of entitlement than actual 'isms' that cast a shadow on this contest. In other words, she didn't lose because of sexism.
And the AA community has every right to feel the Clintons are stepping on Obama's candidacy because they are, and it would not be tolerated if it were the other way around.
The Clintons have sucked all the joy out of this process and it is up to them to restore it at the convention as opposed to their usual M.O. of promoting themselves. We shall see if they are up to the task.
