The victim card

Bloggers such as myself are calling Hillary out when she uses campaign tactics like this one, especially so that they are exposed now and cannot be used as effectively in the final days before Iowa.  Also, if she does indeed win the nomination, it will force her to do so only by leveling with voters, and not using the gender card:

Clinton's advisers, speaking on condition of anonymity because theyare not authorized to discuss internal matters, said there is a clearand long-planned strategy to fend off attacks by accusing her malerivals of gathering against her.

The idea is to change the subject while making Clinton a sympatheticfigure, especially among female voters who often feel outnumbered andbullied on the job.

Pandering: "To cater to the lower tastes and desires of others or exploit their weaknesses."
