Palin was introduced by Shelly Mandell, the president of the Los Angeles chapter of the National Organization for Women. Mandell supported Sen. Hillary Clinton during the Democratic primary, but has now endorsed the McCain-Palin ticket. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess the woman thing trumps the ideology. If you worked all your life to see women given the same opportunities as men, it must be tempting to see that a woman could finally make it into the WH (well, at least the number two position but a heart beat away from number one).
\nBTW, this is one smart feminist, she recognizes that there is more to a feminist than supporting abortion. If the feminists want to expand their number, including conservative women among their number would be smart move. Making abortion the badge of a feminist, is a sure way to continue to marginalize the movement. The movement would expand greatly if it was about empowering women as moms, workers, wives and daughters and not just empowering them to abort their baby.
