Sir Elton John thinks Hillary Clinton is not getting a fair chance in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. At a Radio City Music Hall fundraiser, Sir Elton proclaimed:

I've always been a Hillary supporter. There is no one more qualified to lead America.

I'm amazed by the misogynistic attitudes of some of the people in this country. And I say to hell with them... I love you Hillary. I'll be there for you.

To be sure, there's not much love for Clinton in Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love. But statewide, white voters in Pennsylvania have embraced Clinton. A new Time magazine poll shows that white women are keeping Clinton in the lead in Pennsylvania. The survey found:

Clinton leads Obama overall 44% to 38% among all Democrats in the TIME survey, but enjoys a notably broader margin of support among white Democratic women: 56% to Obama's 25%. More evenly split, by contrast, are white male Democrats, who prefer Clinton by a narrower margin of 44% to 36%.

With the polls tightening, the unwavering support of her sisters should put a song in Clinton's heart.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
