Titus makes feminist appeal

By Joseph K. Cooper

LAS VEGAS - In a speech today before the Clark County Democratic Women's Club, 3rd Congressional District candidate Dina Titus used the historic candidacy of N.Y. Sen. Hillary Clinton to appeal to women to overcome remaining obstacles for women in politics.

"We have come a long way," said Titus. "But don't be mistaken, we have a long way to go."

Titus said that women still have to work harder and for longer hours to get equal rewards than men and that this exists for female candidates in the form of a media bias against women.
