I have to tell you. My sister-in-law is a past President of a Midwest state chapter of NOW and she's not buying the sexism claims as any excuse why Hillary is not getting the nomination.

Are there people out there that are sexist... sure.

Are there a lot more people out there that are racist... I think that's a fair assumption.

Has Barack Obama ran a take the high road campaign and been a gentleman in regards to Mrs. Clinton... I don't think anyone could watch the debates and all the extensive news coverage of the two campaigns and come away without thinking... yes he absolutely has.

I've managed several small local campaigns, school board... trustee... that sort of thing. And I myself have ran and won seats on various Boards. The thing that bothers me so much isn't someone liking Hillary. I liked Hillary. What bothers me is I obviously follow the political news pretty extensively. When I do see a cheap shot... or even call it just a borderline cheap shot... Hillary or her campaign are the ones doing the shooting.

I'm trying to be dead serious here. I started supporting Hillary in the beginning. I can't speak for anyone else but I switched to Obama just because of the tone of her campaign and the fact she's always had such high national negative numbers.

I was willing to fight the high national negative numbers but not the negative campaigning against a fellow Democrat that was equally qualified for the job in my opinion.

Hillary Clinton's campaign basically ran me off. I think to some extent that's what's happened elsewhere and gave Senator Obama the opportunity to get the nomination.

Remember Hillary Clinton is not the underdog here. At one time Hillary Clinton was so terribly, stratospherically far out ahead she herself was predicting she'd have the nomination locked up by February.

Hillary Clinton imploded because of a bad campaign strategy. Not sexism or anything anyone else did.

Hillary Clinton is a qualified person but the people managing her campaign did not serve her well.
