So what do you think? Is Clinton trailing Obama because she is a woman?
\nThat’s the new party line coming out of the Clinton camp, it would seem. The New York senator has been complaining about a “double standard” in the media, imposed by journalists, she claims, because of her gender. And now, at a major fundraiser in New York City last Thursday, famed recording artist Elton John jumped on the bandwagon.
\nJohn was reported by Newsday.com to have said that “gender discrimination” is behind Clinton’s problems in the polls. His appearance on behalf of Hilary drew more than 5,000 people and raised $2.5 million for the Clinton campaign, the report said.
\n“I never cease to be amazed by the misogynistic attitudes of some people in this country,” John is reported by Newsday.com to have said. “I say to hell with them. … I love you, Hillary, I’ll always be there for you.”
\nWhat do you think? Do you agree with Elton John? In Hillary Clinton behind in the polls because she is a woman?
\nAnd what about Obama’s race? Do you think that is hurting him among some voters? Could the two prejudices be off-setting each other?
\nI am not meeting very many people — none, actually — who say they refuse to support Hillary because she is female. I don’t know, maybe I run in fairly sophisticated circles, but the people I spend time with would never think of opposing Clinton on the basis of gender. Those of my friends who are <\/em>opposing her are doing so for other reasons.
\nI also have not met one person yet who opposes Obama because of his race. So here’s what I think. I think that the vast majority of Americans…<\/p>\n


\n…. have grown up, matured a lot, and moved past such shallow considerations when deciding who to vote for as our next president. Are there still some people ignorant enough to use race or gender as a disqualifier? Of course there are. But my observation is that they are the huge minority. Huge.
\nTell me I’m right about this.
\nAND NOW, A WORD ABOUT MY SCHEDULE…
\nI’ve received several emails in recent weeks asking when and where people can “catch up” with me. So I’ve decided that about once every four or five weeks, I’ll publish my updated schedule on the blog. Here is the current itinerary…
