On Tuesday we heard from Hillary Clinton about the role she believes misogyny played in her probable loss to Barack Obama. Now, in an interview with Judy Woodruff, here's what first female Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has to say on the topic:
JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, just quickly. You're in a special place to make an observation on this. How much of a setback will it be for women in politics if she doesn't win?
REP. NANCY PELOSI: I don't think it's a setback at all. I think we have to look at how far women have come in this presidential election. A woman is down to the wire in contention for the presidential nominee.
I think that Senator Clinton's courage and -- you know, she still may win this, but, whatever the outcome, new ground has been broken, and it won't be left broken. It will be built upon.
