"The National Organization for Women (NOW) said Tuesday it had been pushed by
the Republicans pick of Sarah Palin as vice presidential nominee to back
Democrat Barack Obama for the White House," Agence France-Presse reports:

"NOW is going to be endorsing the Obama-Biden ticket," NOW
head Kim Gandy told National Public Radio (NPR), referring
to Obama and his running mate Joseph Biden.

The 500,000-strong women's movement, which "very, very rarely
endorses in a general election," broke with its tradition of
neutrality after "the addition of Sarah Palin gave us a new
sense of urgency," said Gandy.

Its tradition of neutrality? Would that be the same tradition NOW was
following when it endorsed Hillary Clinton last year, when it urged "all women
to vote for John Kerry" in 2004, or when it undertook its "Bush Whacker
campaign" in 2000?

Hey AFP, did you know the word gullible doesn't appear in the French-English
dictionary?
