Do the Democrats fear strong willed women? Does Obama fear them? Why does the party that pretends to be so attuned to women’s rights and equality of the sexes, that pretends to be so open-minded and tolerant of all races, religions, sexual orientations and gender-related issues field the same old tired all-male ticket when there appear to be so many talented, experienced and strong willed women more qualified than Obama himself to lead or second chair the ticket? God only knows.
