How do we beat the bitch?

I've been reading all weekend about whether gender helped or hurt Hillary.

I thought this was a balanced view.

George Will, surprisingly enough, wrote a view that was not.

Bringing up Frank Robinson as a example - who was fired from the Cleveland Indians not for being black but just for being...um, not great? is an interesting one. The subsequent manager, Jeff Torberg, actually made the Indians suck more, bring them in at 5th and 6th in the league whereas Robinson had them end 4th in the league all three years. A little more than ten years after being fired by the Indians, Robinson was named Manager of the Year in 1989 for his work bringing the Baltimore Orioles back from the dead.

So perhaps Hillary has some hope for the 2016 general election.
