The Political Voices of Women

Hillary Clinton: Down But Not Out - by Catherine Morgan

If Hillary Clinton isn’t the hardest working woman in politics, I don’t know who is. While others take off, she plugs away, even on Mother’s Day. You gotta hand it to her, she is one tough cookie. Whether she wins this nomination or not, she deserves great respect. She has gone where no other woman has gone before. I for one, admire and respect the amount of strength she has shown during this campaign.

Here is an interesting video I found on YouTube - Hillary Clinton Will Not Be Broken

Clinton Spends Mother’s Day Campaigning…Clinton made a brief afternoon visit to the home of Anna Jarvis, who is credited with founding Mother’s Day 100 years ago. Clinton spoke to reporters afterward and told stories about women who have changed history by pressing for equal rights and breaking into male-dominated careers.She highlighted her own mother’s working-class upbringing and quoted from letters she said mothers have written her recently.”Keep fighting,” Clinton said, reading from one of those letters. “The fact is that you stood throughout the constant ups and downs of this race. You never wavered and you never gave up.”Clinton said her favorite letter ended, “It’s not over until the lady in the pantsuit says it is.”

At an evening campaign stop in Eleanor, W.Va., Clinton quoted Eleanor Roosevelt: “A woman is like a tea bag. you never know how strong she is until she’s in hot water.”

Though Obama has amassed a nearly insurmountable lead in delegates and has turned his attention to a general election against Republican John McCain, Clinton is pressing ahead in West Virginia and Kentucky — states where the demographics strongly favor her.

Overall, her campaign has remained alive largely because of her 60 percent to 36 percent edge over Obama among white women voters in the primaries so far. But among college-educated white women — the demographic of many feminists and of Clinton herself — her edge is much smaller, 54 percent to 43 percent, according to exit polls conducted for The Associated Press and television networks.
