It's interesting that Senator Clinton, at opportune moments, will interject her gender to make the case for why she should be president. In the New Hampshire debate she said that her presidency would mark the great change that people are looking for because hey, we'd have the first woman in charge...
As a voter I don't like that reasoning. Is she running for 'woman president?' Would that then mean that Romney is running for 'Mormon president?' Huckabee for 'evangelical president?' Richardson for 'Latino president?' Giuliani for 'Italian-American Catholic president?' Obama for 'African American president?' Not at all! All the candidates are running for PRESIDENT! There's only one job opening. Using gender as a qualification clearly didn't even fool Iowa's women voters.
