"Although in the end she may wind up being dwarfed by Obama, for the moment she is something he is not: fully, poignantly human."</description><link>http://www.newser.com/story/30112/clinton-wins-by-losing.html?refid=rss_all_default</link><pubDate>Mon, 16 Jun 2008 12:16:39 CDT</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.newser.com/story/29927/sexism-media-disagree-with-clinton-backers.html?refid=rss_all_default</guid><title>Sexism? Media Disagree With Clinton Backers</title><description>Now that Hillary Clinton has suspended her presidential campaign, her most ardent supporters are hitting out at television news, proposing boycotts and setting up websites in response to allegedly sexist coverage. But as the  New York Times  reports, many in the media see little evidence of sexism. Rather, they accuse the ex-candidate of having used a few glaring examples to drum up support for a faltering campaign.</description><link>http://www.newser.com/story/29927/sexism-media-disagree-with-clinton-backers.html?refid=rss_all_default</link><pubDate>Fri, 13 Jun 2008 5:57:39 CDT</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.newser.com/story/29300/how-the-air-came-out-of-clintons-tires.html?refid=rss_all_default</guid><title>How the Air Came Out of Clinton's Tires</title><description>Hillary Clinton’s campaign was happiest, and picked up the most steam, late in the game, as divisive staffers departed, the blue-collar vote moved into her column and the candidate found her comfort zone. The  Washington Post  examines the Democrat's final months, noting its rejuvenation after Texas and Ohio victories, and the marked resignation after North Carolina and Indiana results went bad.</description><link>http://www.newser.com/story/29300/how-the-air-came-out-of-clintons-tires.html?refid=rss_all_default</link><pubDate>Thu, 05 Jun 2008 13:31:43 CDT</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.newser.com/story/29301/obama-willing-to-help-bail-clinton-out-of-20m-debt.html?refid=rss_all_default</guid><title>Obama Willing to Help Bail Clinton Out of $20M Debt</title><description>Barack Obama might ask his supporters to help Hillary Clinton pay off her campaign debt, Bloomberg reports. Clinton has accrued more than $20 million, $11.4 million of which she personally contributed. Under a campaign-finance law (co-sponsored by John McCain) she has until August's Democratic convention to raise money to settle the debt, after which she can only recoup $250,000.</description><link>http://www.newser.com/story/29301/obama-willing-to-help-bail-clinton-out-of-20m-debt.html?refid=rss_all_default</link><pubDate>Thu, 05 Jun 2008 10:16:11 CDT</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.newser.com/story/29105/campaign-apologizes-for-bills-scumbag-jab.html?refid=rss_all_default</guid><title>Campaign Apologizes for Bill's 'Scumbag' Jab</title><description>The Clinton campaign apologized last night for Bill’s description of a  Vanity Fair  reporter as “sleazy,” “slimy,” “a dishonest guy” and a “scumbag” in response to  a recent story about him in the magazine. "President Clinton was understandably upset about an outrageously unfair article," a Hillary rep said of Todd Purdum's piece, "but the language today was inappropriate and he wishes he had not used it."</description><link>http://www.newser.com/story/29105/campaign-apologizes-for-bills-scumbag-jab.html?refid=rss_all_default</link><pubDate>Tue, 03 Jun 2008 12:37:20 CDT</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.newser.com/story/28486/things-not-to-say-on-the-campaign-trail.html?refid=rss_all_default</guid><title>Things Not to Say on the Campaign Trail</title><description>In a year of gaffe-rich campaign speeches, Republicans in particular are worried that some errant phrase will seem racist or sexist to general-election voters. Politico helpfully catalogs the mines the candidates have already stepped on. Some phrases to avoid:        “Sweetie”: Barack Obama used the endearment to address a female reporter.       “Hard-working Americans, White Americans”: Hillary Clinton drew criticism for the phrase.</description><link>http://www.newser.com/story/28486/things-not-to-say-on-the-campaign-trail.html?refid=rss_all_default</link><pubDate>Tue, 27 May 2008 8:44:19 CDT</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.newser.com/story/28416/kennedy-clan-blasts-clinton-for-rfk-flub.html?refid=rss_all_default</guid><title>Kennedy Clan Blasts Clinton for RFK Flub</title><description>Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has defended Hillary Clinton’s RFK gaffe, but other Kennedy clan members are fuming, the  New York Post  reports. As the anniversary of RFK’s murder nears, one relative cited Clinton’s “perceived insensitivity,” especially after Ted Kennedy’s brain cancer diagnosis. Another said the comment could mark the Clinton campaign’s last hurrah.</description><link>http://www.newser.com/story/28416/kennedy-clan-blasts-clinton-for-rfk-flub.html?refid=rss_all_default</link><pubDate>Sun, 25 May 2008 17:31:29 CDT</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.newser.com/story/28365/hillarys-killer-rfk-quote-stuns-pundits.html?refid=rss_all_default</guid><title>Hillary's Killer RFK Quote Stuns Pundits</title><description>Hillary’s RFK gaffe certainly has people talking—and most aren’t being too kind.        Michael Goodwin of the  New York Daily News  calls it “an X-ray of a very dark soul” that considers murder just another strategic possibility. Hillary has shot her chance at being vice president, he writes: “She doesn’t deserve to be elected dog catcher anywhere now.”</description><link>http://www.newser.com/story/28365/hillarys-killer-rfk-quote-stuns-pundits.html?refid=rss_all_default</link><pubDate>Sat, 24 May 2008 14:44:56 CDT</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.newser.com/story/28359/on-rfk-clinton-should-have-known-better.html?refid=rss_all_default</guid><title>On RFK, Clinton Should Have Known Better</title><description>Hillary Clinton used history to make a point, but her RFK gaffe provides a valuable lesson for those studying it: “There are taboos in presidential politics, and this is one of the biggest,” Libby Copeland writes in the  Washington Post . Clinton has apologized for referring to the assassination in her rationale for staying in the race, but her comments “broke a double taboo,” because many fear Obama’s race makes him a bigger target.</description><link>http://www.newser.com/story/28359/on-rfk-clinton-should-have-known-better.html?refid=rss_all_default</link><pubDate>Sat, 24 May 2008 9:38:29 CDT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
