No sexism hereThe 2008 campaign has been a very disillusioning experience for a lot of people. You can make a very good case that Barack Obama was the right person for the Democrats to nominate, and Hillary Clinton the wrong choice. But the way we got there was terrible. The raw sexism, in all too many cases coming from alleged progressives — see above — was part of it. So, too, was the inability of many alleged progressives to see that the news media created the narrative of Hillary Clinton as race-baiter in much the same way that, 8 years ago, they created the narrative of Al Gore as congenital liar — by assembling a montage of quotes taken out of context and willfully misinterpreted.

Well, the selection processes of both parties were an absolute joke. The only good thing that came out of it, IMO, was that neither of the candidates that the media had decided would be the nominees were – Clinton and Ghouliani. (And it was particularly interesting to see how the media turned on Clinton.)
The bias in the debates was an absolute joke, and I think a lot of people saw that. Hopefully, it will wake them up some.
