Hillary Clinton, according to Keith Olbermann and many many Barack Obama supporters, was supposed to quit the 2008 democratic race well before the end even though the race was too close to call.
Apparently, it was ok for delegates to switch from Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama, but under no circumstances were delegates ever supposed to switch back, even when Hillary Clinton won over 54% of the vote over the final 10 weeks of the democratic race.
Barack Obamomentum knew only one direction, and to imply delegates, even those who were actually in districts that voted for Hillary Clinton, might decide to actually vote for Hillary Clinton, was tantamount to racism.
Sarah Palin was coming under increased surveillance, attack, and scrutiny by the media. When she saw that she was not going to be able to lose the media by jumping on her snowmobile and getting the media to go left when they should have gone right, Palin resigned.
Palin is now called a quitter by some Barack Obama supporters for her refusing to be skewered by the media while trying to govern Alaska.
In both situations, the Barack Obama crowd used the quit card to once again demean and diminish female candidates. Isn't it ironic that Hillary Clinton was supposed to quit the 2008 democratic race, yet Sarah Palin was not supposed to quit her governorship even though the media was making it difficult for her to just do her job?
Whatever either female candidate chose to do at critical moments in their career, it appears Barack Obama supporters were simply going to demand both candidates do the opposite of what they did, or be skewered in the media.
