Hell Hath No Fury Like the President of the State Chapter of a SIG Whose Endorsement Is Different From That of a High Profile Senator From Another State
In case you’ve had your head in the sand for the last 24 hours, Ted Kennedy announced his support for Barack Obama for President yesterday in what will likely be the biggest endorsement (aside, of course, from when Chuck Norris moved the earth) of this Presidential campaign, unless the Pope decides to endorse Hillary Clinton or Osama bin Laden endorses Rudi Giuliani.
Despite today’s counter-endorsement from another chunk of the Kennedy clan, the ripples from this one will probably continue at least through Super Tuesday. One of the seemingly more curious responses was this tepid statement from NOW’s President Kim Gandy (doesn’t that last paragraph almost read like Sen. Kennedy is a woman? ;-). That only seems curious though if you haven’t read this press release from Marcia Pappas, President of the New York State chapter of NOW, who apparently feels that if you aren’t for Hillary, you are just taking women’s money but ignoring women and children when talking about “…poverty or human needs or America’s future or whatever…”. I’m sure Ms. Gandy called Ms. Pappas to thank her for such a dignified response that in no way plays to negative stereotypes about women.
