“Indeed. McCain in '08 has suddenly become a more likely prospect.”
You can read the entire article here. Harrop has been beating this drum slowly for months, maintaining the fallacy that any fault in strategy or conduct by Clinton campaign could not be to blame for their looming defeat. Only sexism, and the mistreatment of American women by Barack Obama, could be to blame.
It is already a tired and played out argument, and even more importantly it is untrue…but it isn’t going away anytime soon. And it may just turn out to be exactly what John McCain needs to pick up where George Bush is going to leave off on January 20th, 2009.
"Indeed. McCain in '08 has suddenly become a more likely prospect."
These women should be embarrassed to make this argument. When John McCain is nominating Supreme Court Justices they will have no one to blame but themselves. They are knowingly and willfully selling every woman in this country who may find herself in need of a safe and legal abortion down the proverbial river.
And for what?
NOTHING was taken from Hillary Clinton. She ran a terribly shortsighted campaign and lost because of it. Her supporters act as if the door to the presidency should have been held open for her. That is not feminism.
Martha Burke and Geraldine Ferraro, to name two, have proven themselves throughout this campaign to be no better than Al Sharpton or Louis Farrakhan--whipping up old gender battles to serve their purposes and help their candidate. Ferraro's cries of sexism have been as blatant and phony as Sharpton's cries of racism. Those tactics may be effective, but they are a far cry from being presidential.
Remember this, Froma: Clinton walloped Obama here is Massachusetts, but was able to win neither Wellesley nor Northampton in the process. The next generation of American women is so much better than this.
