You mean it was obvious that they weren't going to choose a woman who looked mentally retarded. Put a woman like Margaret Thatcher in and see if people elect her or not. If you put in a fool who presents herself as an alternative to the government, but if you ask her what needs to be changed from what has been done in the last 4 years, she answers “nothing” and when faced with simple questions she remains unanswered and with a silly laugh, then don't be surprised that she is not elected.

It is not a question of being a woman. She is a woman and seems mentally retarded. I don't know why you attribute the loss to the former and not the latter.
