Washington, Sept. 13 : The 2012 presidential election may very well turn out to be an all woman affair, with Republican greenhorn Sarah Palin taking on veteran Hillary Clinton.

Palin is an "authentic model of feminism" and her vice-presidential candidacy "could well" lead to an historic all-female White House race in 2012 against Hillary Clinton, The Telegraph quotes a former senior adviser to President Bill Clinton, as saying.

New York, Sept. 12 : Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama should focus more on Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin’s readiness to lead, says a former Hillary Clinton loyalist, adding that she still needs to be “tested” on that ability.

“I would deal with this differently, and not because (Palin) is a woman,” Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein of California told FOX News.

New York, Sept. 9: In her first campaign outing since the Democratic National Convention, New York’s junior Senator, Hillary Rodham Clinton, avoided criticizing new contender for female voters, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

The Obama Campaign is seeing Clinton as the best counter to Palin as far as attracting the votes of white working women and mothers who supported her during the Democratic primaries.

Leading an evening rally in Tampa, Clinton, however, chose to use a line that she had used at two earlier events -- “No way, no how, no McCain — no Palin!”

New York, Sept. 2 : Presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain’s decision to pick a woman – Alaska Governor Sarah Palin – as his running mate for the November 4 presidential poll, suggests that he still needs to take important lessons on gender politics, an article appearing in Fox News, has opined.

According to the article, the view going around that Palin’s selection was based on the premise that she could be an effective counter to New York Senator Hillary Clinton couldn’t be farter from the truth.

New York, Aug. 28 : A former FBI agent and body language expert has opined that Hillary Clinton may have publicly showed her support for Barack Obama at the recently concluded Democratic convention in Denver, but her body language suggested otherwise.

According to Joe Navarro, there was a mismatch between her verbal support and what she was conveying through her body movements.

CBS quoted him as saying that Clinton''s non-verbals were revealing.

"What we wanted to see was a Churchillian speech, something that would move her candidate to cross that magic fence. And she delivered a speech, but the gestures -- the non-verbals that give us the emotion -- really weren''t there," he said.

Denver, Aug 27 : New York Senator Hillary Clinton called on Democrats to unite as one party behind Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama, saying that despite an acrimonious primary duel they were on the “same team.”

“We are on the same team, and none of us can sit on the sidelines,” said Hillary. With her husband and daughter lending moral support throughout the day, she deferred her own dreams to deliver an emphatic plea to unite behind her rival, Obama, no matter what ill will lingers.
