Clinton focuses on female bonding
WASHINGTON — The most viable female presidential candidate in U.S. history is building what amounts to a separate organization devoted to winning women's votes. As she pursues the Democratic nomination, the scale of New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's outreach appears unprecedented.
Monday night, 400 women plan to hold house parties to watch the Democratic candidates debate — twice as many parties as women had for Illinois Sen. Barack Obama on June 24.


WOMEN'S VOTES'Most qualified' for some

Clinton has six full-time staffers for women's outreach, an unusual number six months before primaries begin. Former senator John Edwards has one full-time staffer.

Several candidates have national women's networks, but Clinton's started earlier and has many fronts.

Her campaign has special groups for nurses, businesswomen, minority women, New Yorkers, young women and graduates of Wellesley, Clinton's alma mater. It is courting female politicians and activists and other women with their own networks, such as book clubs and breast cancer groups.

2. Thats nice to know.
No one ever said she would win all the womens votes. But the way she is polling with women voters gives me good reason to be very happy. :)
