Gore: Clinton campaign changed perception of women
Al Gore said Sunday that Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign for the White House helped change society's perception of women.
But the former vice president, who has endorsed Barack Obama, demurred when asked whether the New York senator was treated unfairly during the campaign because of her gender.
'I think that women often face these kinds of challenges, of course, in our society,' Gore said in a broadcast interview.
'But I think that she did an amazing job in changing that, as I think Senator Obama and Bill Richardson, where Hispanics are concerned, also made it possible for our country to move on into the 21st century and say, `Wait a minute, these old things that held us down in the past, we're now within sight of a time when we can move beyond that,'' Gore said.
