What was the counterbalance that could possible justify this? I really don't know.
Mrs. Impaler was/is outraged, but maybe (well, clearly) to a lot of women it's no big deal, or exaggerated or... There were 2 key moments for me last night - when we turned the coverage on and saw that he was leading Florida - that was a "whoa" moment. And then when I saw that college educated white women in Virginia broke even, I was sure he was going to win...
