I do it all the time, I also apply that to Obama and Edwards and pretty much all of them (Kucinich seems ok-ish but as an Australian citizen haven't paid much attention)

I do find it odd though that amongst politically like minded friends (very left wing even in Australian terms - way out on the loony fringe in American terms) Clinton is viewed as more of a hollow corporate shill than Obama/Edwards etc

I see very little difference between them and it does make me wonder what it is about Clinton that pisses people off so much, I wouldn't say it's purely attributable to sexism, a few people I know who I know couldn't care less that she's a woman and still hate her so there's something else, but I think it's certainly part of the reason she gets criticised for views that her opponents share.
