do you think it would have been so different if Clinton had won the nomination and the presidency in 2008? Would they have suddenly been agreeable because it was her and not Obama? Somehow, I think we'd have been having the same conversation, and we'd be saying, "Republicans just hate Hillary because she's a woman."

Granted, they can hate both women and black men (and black women), but I think Republicans would have been almost the same to anybody with a (D) after their name. We'd just see Tea Party signs with the B or the C word instead of the N word on them.
