This difference, however, is significant.
Hillary Clinton was using that frontal lobotomy tone in front of mixed-gender audiences.
John McCain calls us all, however insincerely, his friends.
Barack Obama calls only women 'sweetie,' I trust, and has no comparable endearment for men.

What's more significant is that Obama realized that his remark was condescending, admitted it, and apologized.
Have Hillary and McCain apologized for their condescension?
What I'd really like to hear her apologize for is the disgusting backhanded way she said she took Obama's word for it that he wasn't a Muslim and then also added "No, there is nothing to base that on.
As far as I know". Pathetic.
