BE ELECTED
by Christine Bowman

Peggy Noonan, Wall Street Journal columnist, former speechwriter to Ronald Reagan, and author of The Case Against Hillary Clinton (2000) had this to say today:

White women have been Mrs. Clinton's most reliable base of support and readiest crutch, the superdelegate said. And maybe they're the only ones who can break through, both to Mrs. Clinton and to the country ...

The question "Who will tell her, who can make her go?" is really the question "Who will save the Democratic Party in 2008?" It cannot be doubted at this point that real damage is being done to its standard-bearer and to all those who will be on the ticket with him.

Maybe the superdelegate is right, and maybe saving the party this year will be women's work. ...

Damsel of Distress [1]

Helping Democrats probably isn't Noonan's top priority, but she is nevertheless a seasoned DC observer and political analyst. She may be onto something here.

Who has the ability to change this campaign's dynamic? Who can influence Hillary Clinton now? And who can start the party's healing?

Dianne Feinstein? Barbara Boxer? Kim Gandy? Ellen R. Malcolm? Elizabeth Edwards? Gloria Steinem? Uncommitted superdelegates such as Mary Landrieu?

Give us your thoughts. What can/should happen now among Democrats and whose move is it?

BE ELECTED
