Alex Castellanos, a republican consultant, says that it’s not a problem of sexism in the democratic presidential campaign that we’re dealing with, it’s a problem of Hillary Clinton. “Some women, by the way, are named that and it’s accurate… let’s face it, she can be a very abrasive, aggressive, irritating person”, he says.

Republicans must feel frustrated that such an easy target like Hillary may be on the sidelines this time around and it’s logical. The “creative strategy” to beat Obama has been already employed by the Clinton camp and it proved to be unsuccessful. Given the fact that there are probably way more talented people in the Clinton machine than in the McCain camp, the frustration expressed by conservatives is totally understandable — “Operation Chaos” was a total debacle, Bush wants to have a say, the Clintons won’t be there — for right wingers these are truly frightening times indeed.
