Poor old Hilary Clinton
Its always a little sad to see a dream die, and although I suspect that Hilary Clinton is not a very nice person, she did have a dream, to become the first woman leader of the US.
This week that dream died and she is unlikely to even get the bitter prize of being the first woman 'Vice President', where prophetically The Simpsons Movie gave her that role to Itchy.
Whilst this won't be much consolation to Mrs Clinton, who would need a sniper to revive her chances (not an impossible liklihood given the polarisation Obama is going to cause in the US), but she has ensured that a woman will run for the presidency in the next 20 yrs, by breaking the final 'resistance' to the idea.
Compared to the idea of a black man being US president, which apart from in movies like 'deep impact' and the TV '24' series, was considered to be 50 yrs away, Mrs Clinton ended up seeming like part of the political 'establishment', not radical departure from a white male.
It won't make the hurt lessen but history will likely record her as the ice breaker for the first woman president.
Surely a little fame is better than none!
