I find Clinton vastly more enjoyable when she's speaking rather than shouting. I hate her victory/losing speeches. I find Obama terrific at all times, but not so much more so than Clinton in this kind of setting. We have two good candidates.
Oh, yes. I remember thinking this weekend when I was calling a dance that I needed to keep my voice in its lower registers. Surely any woman in politics has learned the same lesson; after all, "shrill" is one of the quickest sexist dismissals.
oh yes- any woman who regularly uses a mike learns that. However, for pols (in this case), I think it's a double-edged sword. Lower vocal registers = masculine, you know? And all too often it's one more nail in the "mannish" lady pol's coffin, I'm afraid. Ironic, given how many ppl like to listen to altos sing, or think "phone sex voices" are hot.
