The Myth of the Hillary Gone John Supporters
An article on Winning Women over at BlogHer discussed how some women are not happy with Obama and many of the sexist tactics that the media played during the campaign. And so the story goes that feeling snubbed and upset these women are turning to Mccain for presidential comfort. Which is a pretty classic example of cutting off your nose to spite your face.
One quote that is picked out for the article attempts to show just that.
I think we also have a great discomfort with the misogyny that was expressed by the media during the entire election and the deafening silence by the DNC and the Barack campaign in the face of such denigration of women generally.
And so the alternative is supposed to be McCain? Discomfort with the misogyny in one campaign means handing over your vote to the guy who outright hates women and wants to suppress their rights? Wha? What do you think he's going to do, other than say 'There, there honey. Now you just sit back and let us menfolk take care of things for you now." I'm sorry, but voting McCain is a slap to the face of Hillary and everything her platform stood for.

Progressively regressive to the opposite extreme is to follow the forwards cult in the same backwards direction.
Can you see me now, Alice?
From down in that tunnel-vision rabbit hole?
Oh, I do think not.
