Kathy Griffin Endorses Hillary, Talks Hollywood Gender Pay Gap With Variety Hillary Women

Kiddos Talk A Woman President With Kimmel

Take 7 minutes of your precious time and watch Jimmy Kimmel talk a woman president before a surprise visit by Hillary Clinton. The two girls are all for a female president, the boys not so much. They are "too girls" and "they'll make girl rules". Women presidents might hand out free makeup in the dressing room or -- worse yet -- paint the White House pink.

Study Suggests We're All Biased Against Hillary Clinton As A Leader Forbes

A recent study using the Implicit Association Test of our unconscious perceptions confirms yet again that the average American doesn't see women as leaders.

Hillary Clinton remains the bookmakers favorite for the 2016 Presidential Election, but a recent study highlights the challenges women face in being thought of as credible leaders.

It suggests that women need to be significantly more qualified than their male peers to prevail, whether in the workplace or in politics, for the simple reason that people just don’t see women as leadership material.

“My study yielded an intriguing finding,” the authors say. “In following instructions to sort images rapidly, the mind often balked at accepting a woman as a leader.

“The average person found it easier to pair words like ‘president’ and ‘executive’ with male names and pictures and words like ‘assistant’ and ‘aide’ with female names.”

Hillary Clinton: Warrior or peacemaker? CNN

Writing for CNN, Julian Zelizer argues that it's overly-simplistic to define Hillary Clinton as a hawk, based on her 2002 vote on the Iraq War. Arguing that the best way to understand a person's ideas is to study the people who influenced he(r), Zelizer proposes to study Richard Holbrooke, in order to understand Hillary.

At the heart of "The Diplomat" a new HBO movie series premiering with Richard Holbrooke and his tireless work trying to resolve the horrific 1995 conflict between Serbia and Bosnia is his belief in diplomacy before guns. Rather than sending in the military, then president President Clinton dispatched Holbrook to resolve a brutal war.

Facing a horrendous situation that inclted violent "ethnic cleansing" of Muslims by Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic and the Serbs (the film has images of the conflict that are a powerful reminder of what was at stake), he undertook many days of intense shuttle diplomacy that ultimately produced the 1995 ceasefire completed at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base outside of Dayton, Ohio.

Read this superb article about the explosive, larger-than-life Richard Holbrooke for clues about how Hillary Clinton will promote diplomacy over guns, argues Zelizner.

Al Franken Steps Up For Democrats

Franken Gets Serious About Flipping Senate to the Democrats Politico

Minnesota Senator Al Franken makes it clear that he will be joining Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker in a major push to return the Senate to Democrats in 2016. It might only last two years -- with 2018 putting Dems under enormous pressure, but how else will President Clinton get anything done, asks Franken.

. . . This year alone, Franken has spread his star status around, raising money for safe incumbent Patty Murray of Washington, choosing sides in contested primaries by supporting Tammy Duckworth in Illinois and Ted Strickland in Ohio, and clocking four events for Catherine Cortez Masto in the swing state of Nevada.

. . . Democrats are relying on Franken, Warren and Booker to be both show horses and workhorses: to remind voters that the Senate races may not draw the attention of Clinton’s presidential bid but are still critically important and to simultaneously raise gobs of money for Democratic candidates.
