Fortunately Hillary didn't really run on that platform, though. It was one of the wisest decisions her or her staff could have made, to avoid running on "I'm a woman" as much as possible. Personally I feel that Hillary had Bill-related baggage that was difficult to overcome, and she listened to the polls too much (a common Clinton error). Its not quite the case with Biden, not to the same extent, he's more in touch with real people, I think, and that should do well for him.
