Frankly, I believe that Hillary brought a lot of it on herself. She chose poor advisors, allowed her husband to exercise his ego and carried an air of inevitability far into the process.

Exactly. Some Hillary supporters have no doubt convinced themselves that Obama and his campaign were sexist toward Hillary which couldn't be further from the truth. If there was any sexism going on, it came from the Media and others, not Obama and his camp. I think the thing that these die-hard Hillary supporters; the "I can't vote for Obama" women refuse to admit to themselves is that Hillary's camp made several mistakes because they underestimated Obama's ability to win. The Clintons thought that Hillary would win by a landslide because afterall, they are "The Clintons" and Obama was an unknown. But like the saying goes..."Never underestimate your opponent."
