White Men Give Hillary a Lesson in Politics By Carey Roberts
Oh, what a difference a year makes. When Hillary Clinton made her ''I'm in to win'' announcement on January 20, 2007, her path to the Democratic nomination looked like a rose-petal strewn cakewalk.
Since three-fifths of the Democratic electorate are female, it was reasoned that most of these women would line up obediently behind Hillary's campaign. Clinton would reassure her media adorers that ''this campaign isn't about gender,'' and then huddle with her all-female staff to plan the next Women for Hillary rally.
If anyone criticized her record, Hillary's advisors would mount a ''Politics of Pile-On'' counter-offensive. And the New York Times could always be counted on to run a sympathetic ''wounds I gladly bear'' front-page story.
