Maybe it was something else

Media Charged With Sexism in Clinton Coverage - NYTimes.com:

"Angered by what they consider sexist news coverage of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, many women and erstwhile Clinton supporters are proposing boycotts of the cable networks, putting up videos on a “Media Hall of Shame,” starting a national conversation about sexism and pushing Mrs. Clinton’s rival, Senator Barack Obama, to address the matter."

Maybe there were other factors
Assuming too much, poor campaign management, wrong competition (an articulate, non "urban" black man). Maybe it was Bill Clinton - how could that factor be sexist?
