Thought all the Hillary supporters might be interested in this.  The book is available at amazon.com.

A new book has just come out: Almost Madam President: Why Hillary Clinton "Won" in 2008, by Nichola D. Gutgold, a professor at Penn State University, Lehigh Valley, who researches the communication skills that women need in order to achieve success in fields dominated by men.

According to a PSU news release, Gutgold argues that "Hillary Clinton gained more than she lost in her bid for the presidency." The book examines Clinton's communication skills and the media coverage she received during the 2008 primaries, including stump speeches, debates, and memorable media moments. Gutgold says in the news release:

"All around the world women are presidents and prime ministers, yet in America, we have yet to elect the first woman president. … Hillary Clinton won almost 18 million votes, and was the first front-runner woman candidate. I wanted this book to be a rhetorical journey through the 2008 primary and analyze the role communication played in how close Clinton came to being the Democratic nominee."

Journalist Helen Thomas says of the book:

"This book offers a marvelous thesis, that Hillary Clinton's loss of the presidency is still a win for all women daring to go where they haven't been before."

Thanks for this info. It's a book I plan to read. As we know, however, Hillary's "win" was not just about the impact her candidacy had and the personal gains she made. What she really "won" was the primary. She was the nominee. Her win and her nomination were stolen and granted to the candidate hand picked and pre-selected by the DNC and MSM. I hope that someone will write a book about the fact that the first female front-runner for president was intentionally and illegally deprived of the nomination she won.

Completely agreed. I'm tired of the oh she paved the way bull**** she didn't just pave the way she WON. Maybe you should write a book on this election, freespirit. I would definitely buy a bunch of copies.

No, it's a bit to high for me at this time, as I am remodeling.......$50/$60.  I'll wait on this one.

Freespirit, I'll help you write that book. smile.gif In fact, that's similar to the book I'm hoping to write, and I'm currently researching. I am focusing on the PUMAs and what you guys witnessed. I was going to call it something like Lipstick Revolt: The Untold Story of the Hillary Democrats Who Crossed Party Lines to Put Country First.

I'm so sick of everybody talking about all the "Obama Republicans" ... How about the McCain/Palin Democrats???

I think this book could be an expose on the party corruption, media bias, and feminist hypocrisy.

If anyone's interested in helping me ... Here's my info:
