WOMEN AND HILLARY – AT 9:44 A.M. ET:  It appears that many American women are relatively indifferent to the idea of "the first woman president."  From Daily Caller:

A recent Wall Street Journal article reveals while Hillary Clinton’s presidential nomination is historic, many women voters are “indifferent.”

The biggest problem, WSJ explains, is that so much progress has already been achieved by women that this latest “glass ceiling” does not really resonate with some female voters. As more women become heads of companies like IBM and General Motors, and 40 percent are considered the main breadwinners in their homes, women may become “indifferent.”

The WSJ reports Clinton has had trouble winning support from middle-aged white women. A poll from Wall Street Journal/NBC News from July shows 52 percent of registered women voters — both Republican and Democrat — support Clinton. For white women ages 50-64, 36 percent support Clinton, while for white women ages 35-49, 34 percent support Clinton.

“It never occurred to me that a woman couldn’t be president. I don’t feel like I have to vote for a woman just because she’s a woman,” Susan Willes, a 53-year-old Democrat who is undecided, told The WSJ.

The groups of women registered to vote who most support Clinton come from those 65 or older and those between the ages of 18-34.

COMMENT:  This really isn't all that surprising.  A number of political observers have said that, once we had a black president, everything else seems an anticlimax.  Nancy Pelosi is warning Clinton not to overplay the "woman" card, and she's right.  That alone won't get Hillary elected.
