Hillary Rosen On Obama Opting Out Of Public Financing (On Stephanie Miller)

"I think it was the right thing to do. For the first time the Democrats are going to have an advantage in campaign financing, AND IT'S ABOUT GODDAMN TIME!"


:rofl:

And since Obama became the nominee she's been a strong advocate.

Not a foaming-at-the-mouth Stephanie Tubbs Jones, but
more like a Wesley Clark.

...whoever that turns out to be.

Why Do We Stick With Her?

I don't really buy into this notion of the campaign is faltering because Hillary is a victim of sexism. I may part company with some of the Hillary sisterhood on this point. There has been lots of sexism in this race, but this campaign is losing because of choices and strategies of it's own making. Articles and books will be written after the fact about the lost opportunities, the mixed messages, the insular in-fighting, the financial recklessness and the lack of focus on delegates. She has never caught up in the delegate hunt from those early mistakes.

But that does not mean that the zeitgeist of sexism and the numerous comments and visuals that women have seen during the course of this campaign have not had the same impact on the woman who have witnessed or heard it in the exact same way that African Americans have heard comments about race.

Hillary has found her voice and she is using it to speak to a group of people often ignored in politics. Women who have felt powerless to change or even complain about their own lives because they are just too damn busy keeping it together for everyone around them. And they certainly haven't had time for politics.

But Hillary's campaign is still going for every woman who has spoken up in a meeting and was greeted with silence only to have a man say the same thing and be praised. It endures for the mothers who are taking care of their children and their parents and their home and has no time to take care of herself. It endures for women who are so scared to see her fail because of what it may say about their chances in life. And yes folks, it resonates for all the women who have seen the younger guy come along and get the promotion even though she has worked in the company loyally for years.

Rosen's history as head of the recording industry is incredibly vile, but the truth is she's not stupid.

After her Tuesday non-concession speech. I'd cut her a break.
