I can say, anecdotally, but based on my involvement with the campaign in Iowa, Michigan, California, and Ohio that the staff and volunteers in Hillary’s campaign is one of the most diverse, intelligent groups I have been fortunate enough to be involved with.

Yes, because none of Obama’s supporters are feminists.
