Kennedy hit with bitter NOW backlash
Posted by: Andoni
It’s the politics of gender now.
According to the AP, the New York chapter of the National Organization for Women had the following to say after Sen. Edward Kennedy endorsed Barack Obama.
We are repaid with his abandonment! He's picked the new guy over us. He's joined the list of progressive white men who can't or won't handle the prospect of a woman president who is Hillary Clinton.
NOW added it was our obligation to "elect, unabashedly, a president that is the first woman after centuries of men who 'know what's best for us.'"
I think they are saying that we have to vote for Senator Clinton because she’s a woman no matter who we think would be best for the country.
