White women begin to turn away from Clinton

LEVITTOWN, Pa. — Like many women over 50, Paula Houwen was eager to vote for Hillary Clinton for president.

"I was impressed when she was first lady. She wasn't the country's trophy wife," the 56-year-old suburban Philadelphia pharmacist recalled.

Today, though, Houwen's no longer a Clinton fan.

"I do not like the way Hillary Clinton has run her campaign," she said.

Clinton's strongest core of support — white women — is beginning to erode in Pennsylvania, the site of the critical April 22 Democratic presidential primary, and a loss here could effectively end her White House run.

A Quinnipiac University survey taken April 3-6 in Pennsylvania found that Clinton's support fell 6 percentage points in a week among white women. Nationally, a Lifetime Networks poll of women found that 26 percent said they liked Clinton less now than in January, while only 15 percent said they liked her more.

1. I liked Hillary and Bill when they were running more with qualifications and issues

Not they seem to be intentionally misleading people and misrepresenting statements and I've had enough of that from the Bush administration

2. Oops. If true, that will end her candidacy.

If her support from white women drops at all, it's over.

Actually it's already over, except for her nuking the Democratic Party and taking it down with her.

7. bah ha ha ha. was gonna say, i do too matter. hm....

cute

[dailykoff]

13. She's counting on them to forget about all the lies she's been telling

when they wake up the next morning..

14. sheeeit. we dont need a woman to "drink" to show what a man she is

lol lol.... that is horrible. a male wouldnt be downing shots running. but she is downing shots to show she is a real man. wtf. i havent been in this room in forever, so this might have been covered. my first.

being a woman, i dont want media to use her gender against her, as advantage or disadvantage, but.... i also dont like seeing her behave in a way thinking she has to prove she is manly to win.

weird group of pictures. hm

as i say, i stepped out of here for a while

15. I think this was last night in Indiana

The saddest part is when the restaurant owner tells a grandfather to take his grandkids out of the room... it just doesn't get any sleazier than that!

16. well knowing the dems, i am sure we will have those shouting it is not all about the children

how dare we shield or protect or set a good example, yada yada.

sad

[Blue Diadem]

18. Can't help but wonder how much of that she does

maybe that's why she embellishes her stories..under the influence. I watched the video and she sure looks/acts tanked when she tells the guy in the Dad shirt that she's not driving, they would never let her drive.

IMO,it's not appropriate behavior for someone interviewing for the job of President. I could see her sipping on a beer, but the shot/beer/behavior displayed is a bit much.

6. "I do not like the way Hillary Clinton has run her campaign," sums it up on more than 1 level

kitchen sink and managerial competence

[seabeyond]

8. yup. glad to see we dems arent like the repugs accepting all. n/t

[jgraz]

11. As does "I just don't feel she's one of us"

Pennsylvanians are starting to wake up. Why is it that Hillary only goes down in the polls when she starts campaigning in a state?

[roseBudd]

9. "Ask them when they became disillusioned with (HRC), and they can cite almost the exact moment"

[Tarheel_Dem]

10. Not a white woman, but I can certainly appreciate the sentiment...k&r

[Yael]

17. PA bitter white women for Obama

Represent!

[futureliveshere]

19. Wow.. this is good news... lets see after bittergate though...the support should increase

[Tarheel_Dem]

20. kick...

:kick:

[Scurrilous]

21. K & R

:thumbsup:

[City Lights]

22. I'm a white woman who has never seen the appeal of a President Clinton II.

I hope this trend gains momentum.

24. Here's to those women
