Dee Dee Has the Answers ... Sort of
Monday, February 25, 2008 at 07:41AM Former President Clinton Press Secretary Dee Dee Myers was on the Today Show this morning, explaining to
Matt Lauer that the failure of the Clinton campaign can be traced mostly to one thing: her being a woman. It's tougher for a female candidate to go on the offensive and show strength, she opined, and they're held to a higher standard than their male counterparts. I would proffer another explanation: she's run a dreadful campaign. Obama has outflanked them on the change issue, raised more money, organized better in the caucus states, and tapped into a powerful force in American politics: hope. I really don't think her gender or his race has played much of a factor at all. Of course, she was also there to hawk her new book: Why Women Should Rule the World. Something tells me her publisher was counting on a Hillary Presidency. Oops.
