Emily's List takes on Sarah Palin's list (of candidates)
Emily's List takes on Sarah Palin's list (of candidates)
02:28 PM


Emily's List, a fundraising group that has raised and spent more than $43 million to elect Democratic women to office, is taking on Sarah Palin.

Leaders of Emily's List are holding a press conference in Washington tomorrow (today) to unveil a campaign targeting Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, and the candidates she has endorsed.

The group says it wants to counter Palin's appeal to women: "Sarah Palin has predicted a rising tide of mothers and women voters will support her so-called 'Mama Grizzly' candidates," says a just-issued Emily's List press release.

"We call upon women -- and men! -- to let their voices be heard and to reject Palin's reactionary candidates and backward-looking agenda."

3. The question is 26% of what demography?
If it's 26% of teabaggers, that's dismal indeed.

5. Sarah's "Grizzly Mommas" support a candidate of a party which,
given today's climate, would have refused to allow them to have a vote in the matter, if the womens' voting rights were up for debate now ...
