Hill's Bad Press Rallies Women

The press may be ganging up on Hillary Clinton—but that’s good news for her campaign, writes Deirdre Depke in Newsweek. When women sense an affront to the senator, they come out for her in droves, as they did in New Hampshire, Ohio, and Texas. The best course for Clinton now, Depke writes, is to “stay on the sidelines while the women of America fight the battle for her.”

If Hillary goes farther in claiming bias, she could seem “churlish—even paranoid,” notes Depke. When “outrage” comes from inside the campaign, it can be disastrous, as Bill Clinton showed in South Carolina. So she should trust the “sisterhood,” because “nothing makes an American woman as crazy-mad as watching another American woman get pushed around.” (More Hillary Clinton stories.)
