The XX Factor: What women really think.

Hillary and Her Marriage

A new Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll finds that 42 percent of Democrats believe Hillary Clinton was right to stay with Bill after the Lewinsky affair. Just 5 percent say she made the wrong choice. Meanwhile, Hillary talks about her marriage in the new issue of Essence. "Now obviously we've had challenges as everybody in the world knows. But I never doubted that it was a marriage worth investing in even in the midst of those challenges and I'm really happy that I made that decision. Again, not a decision for everybody. And I think it's so important for women to stand up for the right of women to make a decision that is best for them."

In other words, it's all about supporting a woman's right to choose. That's familiar from the abortion context, of course, and also from the debate over women who decide not to work. Does it work here?
