Thus, Hillary's claim to competence, and the aura of inevitability she has tried to foster, may actually be hurting her campaign, because it causes people to see her as "cold hearted" and less concerned about their problems.

That stuff is hurting her campaign because people don't like having their choices made for them.  The MSM told us that Clinton was inevitable.  She acted like participating in those debates over the summer was just an issue of getting clips for campaign commercials.  She was breezy.  Why put in any effort when the thumb is already on the scale in your favor?  

When she lost in Iowa, she was stunned.  You saw it on her face.  She blew out of town so fast, went directly to New Hampshire and immediately started talking shit about Iowa.  Talk about anger issues.  I think at that point, the rest of America perked up and took a look and a listen.  

You have this person who seems to be utterly pissed her coronation isn't going as planned, bad mouthing voters of another state and everything she's talking about isn't about the voters, it's about her.  It wasn't until this week that she actually started including the voters, the American public in her strategy.  That's yet another thing that Sen. Obama has always done.  I wouldn't be surprised if Clinton started chanting 'Yes, we can' at her rallies.  

To add to matters, take the last 2 weeks.  It's all been nothing but feeble drama coming out of the Clinton campaign.  We are seeing things, that should be taken care of internally, not in the press.  It's distracting bullshit.  Once again, it's not about the voters, it's about Clinton.  Or rather, it's about the Clinton's campaign playing more mindgames with the voters, but it's all so transparent, it's depressing and insulting.

From someone who has not only worked for several female bosses, but has been a female boss, the supposed fine line women have to walk between competence and bitch is a lot broader than most men would have you think.  You have to have a lot of personality and willingness to be a teamplayer to outshines your inner bitch.

That's it in a nutshell. The Clintons are narcissists. Everything is about them. We spent eight years watching it in Bill -- and now a little more as he is unable to resist stepping into Hillary's spotlight -- and we are getting loads of it from Hillary now that it's "her turn". Dubya has much the same kind of personality in that respect.

For what it's worth, I personally prefer working for female bosses. I find that, in general, they are less concerned with ego issues and more concerned with just getting the job done well. The woman I work for now is probably the best boss I've ever had. There are exceptions, however, and Hillary Clinton reminds me a little too much of some of the worst bosses I've had.
