Why Not?:”You can’t go after a woman candidate the way you can go after a guy,”

Hillary Clinton wants to be the President Of The United States, and politics is a contact sport. If she believes in equal rights, then there should be no problem with opponents going on the attack against her.

Clinton’s Democratic rivals have showed a reluctance to aggressively attack, evidenced at Wednesday’s Democratic presidential debate in Hanover, N.H.

For example, earlier in the week an aide to Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) issued a statement needling Clinton because of Bush’s prediction she would win the nomination.

“I can understand why the president would want Senator Clinton to be the nominee,” said Dodd spokeswoman Colleen Flanagan.

When moderator Tim Russert asked Dodd to explain the statement in more detail, the candidate dodged the question.
Sen. Joseph Biden (D-Del.), another rival, appeared to stumble when he criticized Clinton.

Biden predicted that Republicans would be less willing to compromise with Clinton if she were president because of “old stuff” associated with her husband’s administration. Biden softened his comments, however, by declaring that Clinton was not at fault and suggested that he did not intend to touch on the circumstances that triggered the House to impeach President Bill Clinton.

memeorandum links to the game Hillary is playing here.

Former President Bill Clinton showed his singular ability to diminish his wife’s presidential rivals when, in a television interview, he said that Senator Barack Obama had about as much experience as Mr. Clinton did in 1988 ” the year Mr. Clinton decided not to run for the presidency.

Who is running here? Bill or Hill? Should Hill have to answer for Bill’s comments? You bet! She can’t have it both ways, and she is fair game in the political game…it doesn’t matter if she is a woman.
