"Cut off your nose to spite your face."

These disgruntled women—whether they plan to vote for John McCain, sit out the election, or simply gobble up airtime—are tacitly working toward electing McCain; a candidate who claimed last week at a presidential forum at Saddleback Church that life begins "at the moment of conception" and who voted against legislation ensuring equal pay for women. These women must be well aware that a vote for McCain is a vote to overturn Roe. I assume they don't care. But my real problem with the Hillary Harridans—and the media's relentless focus on them—is that they give new life to Paleozoic stereotypes about irrationally destructive older women.

Is it all about Hillary Clinton? Would any woman do? If Sen. Clinton would have won the nomination, would these Hillary fanatics have quietly accepted a similar response from African American supporters of Sen. Obama?

As for me, I'd be very comfortable with a good female candidate. Were she still alive, and willing and able, I'd be a supporter of Barbara Jordan. I'd support Barbara Mikulski

Sen. Obama did not "dis" Sen. Clinton (though Sen. Clinton and her husband continuosly denegrated Sen. Obama).

I must say, I'm amazed at the response of some of Sen. Clinton's supporters.
