Iowa Independent's Lynda Waddington talks to female politicos who say, "quite possibly." As one put it:
Iowa is a much tougher place for a woman to run than is the state of New Hampshire. If you look at a comparison of women's political participation in the two states it is really quite remarkable."

Good for the Washington Independent to raise the issue of media gender bias as it affected Sen.Clinton’s campaign in Iowa. This bias continues in the mainstream TV media, notably MSNBC—hope this newssite will go on checking out this aspect of the national campaign.

Primarily I watched Cspan or CNN. In the early CNN gave Clinton and Obama the predominant coverage(time) than the other candidates. My preferred candidates (Kucinach and Edwards) were rarely seen. So if there was bias it was them favoring her. I was outraged by a lie by Wolf on CNN re: Edwards and wrote them. The media owned by General Electric, Disney etc. have been picking our candidates along with the major newspapers bias toward the race of Clinton and Obama. The powerful disallow anyone challenging their wealth/power.
