So for all the charges of sexism, the Clinton team has made the election about gender
Advertisements [?]

It is sad and ironic that for a woman who has been a public figure fighting for equal treatment for women had managed to make this a referendum on gender.

The weepy moment, the obvious plant at her event who had the sexist sign he was holding up (the invisible hand of Rove), the caressing of Chris Matthews face, the "boys are beating up on me" schtick, are all designed to elicit the female solidarity sentiment.

My preference is that neither of the three drop out until the end. I want this debate to continue as long as possible. But dragging the nomination process into a gender based framework is not helpful to anyone.
