Many women support Hillary in the Primaries. Many don't.

Many feminists support Hillary. Many don't. Women are slightly more than half the population. We have varied opinions, priorities, political views. Is this really a news flash to anyone?

African Americans will vote Obama because he's black. Bush has an appeal to Hispanic people because of his wife. Hillary will get womens' votes because she's a woman.

It always seems to me that the media thinks only white men actually look at the issues and choose a candidate. Anyone who is a not a white male reflexively votes for the candidate who most looks like them.

It's annoying as hell!
