On Hillary Clinton and Sandwiches

The front page story on Hillary Clinton in today's Journal includes this gem:

Heather Arnet, a Clinton supporter who runs a Pittsburgh organization that lobbies for more women on public commissions and corporate boards, recently surveyed the Internet and found more than 50 anti-Hillary Clinton sites on Facebook. One of them, entitled "Hillary Clinton Stop Running for President and Make Me a Sandwich," had more than 38,000 members.

"What if one of these 38,000 guys is someone you, as a woman, have to go to and negotiate a raise?" she asks.

I see the group now has more than 43,000 members. Maybe young people really are reading newspapers. Also it looks to me (just clicking through a few pages) like 40 percent or more of the group is female--it's certainly not all "guys." And most of the members, male and female, are probably Obama supporters. After all, Republicans want Hillary to keep running...and make us a sandwich.
