another good one which makes a particularly excellent point:
...Because if the hope for John McCain is to get women to vote for him who otherwise supported Hillary Clinton - if anything could get Hillary Clinton campaigning in full force and fury...this is it. She likely would have campaigned hard, but it's in Hillary Clinton's best interest to be the leading voice for women, and the leading woman candidate for president in the future, so having another woman as the potential Vice President (and potential President) is a significant challenge to that. The Republicans just opened Pandora's Box and brought Hillary Clinton roaring to Barack Obama's side on the Democratic train. And Bill Clinton, too.
Money-quote from the WaPo colum: "How dumb do they think women are?"
I've been thinking: in leaders, hypocrisy is preferable to cynicism, and cynicism is preferable to foolishness.
This decision has the distinction of being simultaneously hypocritical, cynical and foolish.
