[Dems2008] Re: Gabrielle / Hillary / Texas

You can call me Ci. No, not from Texas, although I've traveled there
alot over last 30 years for business, and I've had more chicken fried
steak than I should have. No doubt Texas is evolving, as North
Carolina has evolved over the last 20+ years.

But fact of the matter is that Hillary is (to over-generalize) like
fingernails on a chalkboard to a lot of white men; and I think it's her
most-challenging group (other than African Americans this year). She
didn't get those high negatives (49% nationwide) without a whole lot of
distaste toward her from white males.

And less-educated white males are not so different from one another
across this country when it comes to resentment toward women
professionals, and those like Hillary in particular. Humankind has NOT
evolved to the point of equality between the genders, and less educated
males present the area where the most work still needs to be done.

I just think there's been inadequate attention paid to the obstacles
that HIllary faces among southern white men.
