To answer your question – No, you’re not crazy, but yes, she is certainly starting to look like she is…..I am a 54 yr old woman who was (IS) on the front-lines of women’s rights, for 40 yrs – I have a close friend of the same age, who says she is pro-Clinton because she wants to see “a woman President”.....an understandable sentiment…..but to which I can only respond “this is not 1973, let’s grow up” haven’t we all progressed beyond assuming that ANY woman for the job is an improvement over ANY man? Hillary has never represented ALL of my values (just to start, putting up with Bill’s crap in the name of political ambition is scarcely noble behavior) and I’m frankly embarrassed for the women who gleefully rationalize her selfishness and tunnel-vision…if anything, I believe she is setting back the progress of women in the political arena by leaps & bounds. We are so fortunate to have a candidate of Obama’s caliber – his intelligence, integrity, ethical standards, vision (as we were with Gore), we really can’t blow it again, can we? Geeeez, I hope not…....
