Feminists for Hillary

The protesters at the DNC RBC meeting yesterday are losing their minds:
Of the eight Hillary supporters I quiz at the protest (six of them women), only one says she'd even consider voting for Obama in the fall. "It's sad. I'm a lifelong Democrat and the party's been taken over by these Obama people who say they want 'change,'" gripes Linda of Horseheads, New York, outside the Marriott as a honking car decorated with a painting of Hillary, a glued-on bust of Cleopatra, and a tampon drives by. Linda, she says, has already gone to the state Board of Elections to learn how to write Hillary's name in in November. "So much has been stolen from her."

Justine, a self-described "diehard Democrat" from Greensboro, North Carolina, objects to the write-in idea. "It's gonna help Barack if you don't vote against him," she says.
I love the honking car decorated with a painting of Hillary, a glued-on bust of Cleopatra, and a tampon. Hillary's supporters clearly have as much class as she does.

Disgruntled Hillary supporters should remember that they'd better vote for Obama if they like Roe v. Wade.

I've always felt that the argument that feminists should vote for Hillary because she's a woman is ridiculous. However, Kate Michelman says it much better than me.
