But here is even better news: It won't work. This isn't the first time a boss has picked an unqualified woman just because she agrees with him and opposes everything most other women want and need. Feminism has never been about getting a job for one woman. It's about making life more fair for women everywhere. It's not about a piece of the existing pie; there are too many of us for that. It's about baking a new pie.
However, women aren't going to flock to Obama. This pick has less to do with that, however, than to shore up his support among the religious right.
Moreover, Obama is little better with regard to women's issues.
