Pre-Ohio debate coverage

In the Pre-Ohio debate coverage on NPR, Mara Liasson and Robert Siegel reassure listeners that Hillary will come out fighting tonight. However, they are pessimistic about her actual chances of winning the nomination. They discuss the number of delegates she has to win in Texas and Ohio to stay in the running, and add that it will be very difficult for her to accomplish that. In general, they had few nice things to say about her and basically proclaimed Obama the winner.

"If you assume that women are only supporting Hillary because she's a woman, then you're not giving women the credit we deserve." Why do women always have to defend their votes? I feel like any one outside of Wellesley that I tell who I voted for I get the response "...becasue she's a woman!" This link off a local texas npr station sums up why women are voting for Hillary- and it's not JUST because she's a woman.
