For the past five days, the newspapers and television channels have been full of discussion about the possibility of a black man, Barack Obama, becoming President. Despite Hillary's strong showing in Iowa, there was virtually no discussion about the possibility that the ultimate glass ceiling might be broken and that a woman might become president.
The women of New Hampshire were insulted by this lack of focus on a woman's success so flocked to Hillary Clinton in sufficient numbers to put her over the top and made the race competitive once more.
[Full disclosure: I am a supporter of Barack Obama]
