Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) is out on the campaign trail imploring women to help elect her president and break the proverbial "glass ceiling". Is this Hillary's attempt to resurrect Feminism, place gender issues at the forefront of national politics, or a shrewd political maneuver to get out in front of the gender issue she faces in running for the nation's highest office?

Like she is the only one in this race trying to break a glass ceiling?
I'm not sure there's much fault in playing the feminism card, considering this country's inability to produce a qualified female candidate, or perhaps the simple lack of acceptance of a female president has stifled the desire of many would-be female presidential candidates to run. Either way, it's a strong point to be made (breaking the glass ceiling, that is), even more so than Obama's, considering that African Americans have run for president in the past, and Obama isn't even black.
