I'm so sad that Hillary lost. For me her loss is personal. The public would rather pick the "cool" candidate, the male candidate, than the person with more experience. A woman acting powerful isn't appealing to women or men. I'm just sad. I feel that if Obama wasn't black, then he wouldn't have even been in the picture. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

The things you are complaining about aren't specific to Hillary. It's how GWB got elected too. [ Reply | More

Well...I'm sad she lost, but she lost for a reason. For all her experience, she really fumbled when she shouldn't have (for example, blowing her shot at VP with that ridiculousness on Tuesday). I'm disappointed she wasn't a stronger candidate. [ Reply | More

I suspect she blew her shot at VP when she went negative a couple of months ago, unfortunately. [ Reply | More

Actually, I think she was the strongest candidate, but unfortunately several fumbles were made by her campaign, for which is she is partly, but only partly, responsible. [ Reply | More

np: This bothers me. She is completely responsible for what her campaign does. As a woman, I hate the idea that somehow a woman isn't in control of her people, that the buck doesn't stop with her. I'd rather think she made bad choices than wasn't doing exactly what she wanted to get elected. I expect that from her and from Obama. [ Reply | More

It may bother you, but that's the reality for all the candidates. They have to rely, to some extent, on what their advisors (and pollsters) tell them. They cannot do everything themselves. Yes, she is responsible for who it is that advises her, but once you've made that decision, there's only so much you can do. [ Reply | More

I disagree. You shape the policies and the approach. She forgot to shape the approach. [ Reply | More

And if she became President, I'm sure there would be "several fumbles made by her Cabinet, for which she was partly, but only partly, responsible." [ Reply | More

undoubtedly. For any candidate. But it's a lot easier to replace a cabinet member or two or more during the course of a 4 year administration than in the heat of running for office. [ Reply | More

Seriously, black guys get everything handed to them. Look at all the black presidents. And you know who's an even surer thing? A black guy with an Arabic name! Throw in a history of having used coke, and you might as well hand him the keys to the White House--you don't need any ability to overcome built-in advantages like that. And with Hillary's huge donors, establishment political connections and massive name recognition, she was doomed from the start. [ Reply | More

np: Sure, that's what other people think when they see him on the street - "There goes a man who's half African and half upper-middle class white." They see a black man, maybe even something worse. [ Reply | More

I REALLY do not think that Obama won because he is "cool". I think that a LOT of people just truly do not like Hillary at all...whether she is a woman or a man. They just can not stand the Clintons. Also...I really think that she campaigned very, very badly. [ Reply | More

It truly is not because she is a woman or because Barack is cool. Hillary has got quite a few flaws. In addition to that she did some pretty unwise things during this race. To say that she lost because Barack is cool or because she is a woman of power is being to simpleminded and inaccurate. She is not liked by enough people. She also made herself even more unlikable throughout this campaign. I know of 3 people who started out strongly in her corner. By the end of April, they could not take her anymore and switched to Obama. [ Reply | More
