Last week's endorsement of Obama by the abortion rights group NARAL has prompted a flurry of criticism by feminists upset with the organization for turning its back on Hillary Clinton. Particularly upset are leaders of the state chapters who were not consulted before the national board's announcement.
New York NARAL chapter head Kelli Conlin tells The Politico newspaper the move created a firestorm, mystifying everyone — and prompting concerns about alienating NARAL's donor base. At one point there were more than 3,000 comments on NARAL's Web site — most negative. Even Obama supporters profess unhappiness with the endorsement.
I guess this isn't just a "couple" of discontent women.
Geeez, how long does it take for them to dry off? I mean are they running into puddles so they can stay wet and mad?
Surely you've heard the phrase "a woman scorned"?
I think it likely they will stay mad til about mid-November.
The Obamatons seem to forget something - not all these newly registered voters are for Obama. Many women are just as excited at the prospect of the first female presidential candidate (present company excepted).
Wow. I'm reading through those comments on their website and so far, all of them are extremely negative against NARAL for their endorsement. And surprising, many of the comments were made by MEN!! So there are a few mad wet roosters running around out there too.
NARAL really jumped the gun on their endorsement of Obama. I certainly will never consider supporting their group.
Lately the internet has address a very old subject, "why women are their own worst enemy" in pertains to corporate bs that occurs in the work place, but in the case of women, it seems they tend to sabotage not only each other but themselves and if they are able to make it to the top, they take ladder with them. The mentality is nasty, spiteful, based on insecure conditioning. I took a great business course that addressed this issue. Many women need to take it. What does this have to do with the elections? All the sourness coming from the sticks in the mud Hillary camp who are now willing to vote McCain do so because they fit the ugly bitter hens I described above. They would rather continue this self sabotage rather than see truth. I'm a former Hillary supporter, I will vote for Obama. Why? Because issues for me are paying the bills on my home, getting my kids to a good school, keeping my family healthy at a reasonable cost. I consider myself a conservative although I cannot even recognize the republican party of today, because it has been taken over by right wing religious extremists. John McCain feels he has to connect to these people. The McCain's have never worried wither or not their second born should get hand me downs or new clothes. I don't think they worry about things the disappearing middle and working class folk do. How many Hillary Hens can relate to McCain's 7 glorious houses, Cindy's heiress lifestyle, the 100 million plus income? Not to mention the circle of Bushie's in the McCain camp. Hell has no fury then spiteful women and America has no hope with them in any office. - Vote Right - Not Spite.

Reason: grammar
This is really interesting. I was just thinking that what's going on right now really could polarize women - there is such fire on both sides (um who was NARAL going to endorse...McCain?!?!). Generationally, philosophically...we're at the beginning of a great divide, I think.
Then there is the subset of women who are hate Hillary, love Obama, but hate Biden - but are still voting for Obama.
I dunno what's going on with us but this is a big deal and won't go away for a long time.
once again a bunch of "hens" that are mad because the next president wont be a woman. Thats all they care about, the issues dont matter to them at all. They wanted special treatment just because Hillary is a woman.
