History in Making--Democratic Candidates Vie for Female Vote

With Sen. Hillary Clinton making the first serious bid for the presidency by a woman in history, it would stand to reason that women make up a big part of her support base. But that has not deterred the efforts of other Democratic candidates from trying to make inroads with female voters.

Clinton recently hosted a rally aimed specifically at young women in Washington, D.C., where she made a special appeal to voters under 30.

Organizers said 8,000 turned out to watch a veritable who's who of powerful women — from former vice presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro to tennis great Billie Jean King to former Secretary of State Madeline Albright exhort other females to "make history."
