    If not Hillary, then who?

    Many in this forum have been asking - is Hillary losing out to Obama because she's a woman, or because she's not the woman we've all been waiting for? In other words, are Americans somehow incapable of electing an XX, or just not this particular XX?

    So I'm wondering, if Hillary's the wrong candidate, who's right? I can't think of a single female politician who could possibly have come this far, if only because no one else has the name recognition. Pelosi's not stepping up any time soon, and I can't think of any charismatic female governors.
