When you see Hillary crowds on TV now, and she hits an applause line, listen to the shrieks.  They are literally shrieks.  It’s the most high pitched crowd you’ll ever hear.  It’s like watching The View, except with louder shrieking.  That’s because her crowds are now largely women, who support Hillary because she is a woman, and see their dream of a woman president during their lifetime slipping away.  

With Hillary now explicitly playing the race card, after 5 months of implicitly playing it in every step of this campaign, the essential divisive strategy of the Clinton campaign is complete.  This strategy has left her with a tiny rump of white women as her most energetic base support, and another rump of what Hillary herself calls white, lower educated, males, who won’t vote for a black man.  That’s some demographic.  

I’m gonna forget about the white lower educated males, because Democrats don’t win them anyway.  The women, though, are critical.  And there’s one sure fire way to make them forget they ever hitched their dreams of a woman in the presidency to the vile creature that has become Hillary Clinton.

Put Jane Harman on the ticket.

Jane Harman is my favorite voice on foreign affairs, intelligence, and military affairs the Democrats have produced in a long time.  She is an expert on the matters that John McCain, and whoever his running mate might be, will seek to exploit against Barack.  She is a strong Democrat, with a long history of taking on Republicans and taking them to the cleaners.  

And she’s a she.

The fact is, the only reason Hillary Clinton has managed to survive this long is the dream of a woman president, held by women.  That’s fine.  Now, to hold onto that dream in spite of Hillary running one of the most repulsive campaigns I’ve ever seen a Democrat run - that is not the most honorable way to advance your goal, ladies.  However, it’s a good goal.  

Arguing to put Hillary on the ticket is a non-starter.  She is the complete opposite of Obama’s message.  She brings nothing but baggage.  And she’s burned every bridge she could hope to cross by running a racially divisive campaign against a black man.  So forget that.

But a woman on the ticket who ISN’T Hillary…now that’s a good idea.  And if Barack puts a woman on the ticket, Jane Harman would be my choice.  Harman or not, the NANOSECOND a woman gets on the Obama ticket, Hillary Clinton will reap the wind of her divisive campaign by learning how quickly women kick her to the curb, and embrace Barack Obama with enthusiasm.
