Donny Deutsch is going nuts over this and the Morning Joe crowd is razzing him over it. He can’t understand the appeal, I think he is going to go all Kryten on us.
Mika is honest, she thinks it will be effective but says “I don’t like it”.

…in a well meaning post defending pro life women from this nonsense from Gloria Steinem. But her post that contains this whopper:
Earlier feminists were almost universally pro-choice and have dominated political debate until now.
This link contains the answer to this canard that is treated as history, but if you don’t want to bother here are a list of a few names that should be familiar if you know any history:
Jane Addams, Susan B. Anthony, Pearl S. Buck, Dorothy Day, Alice Stokes Paul, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Mary Wollstonecraft. If those names aren’t enough, feminists for life have plenty more.
It should be possible to defend pro-life feminism without re-writing history doing it, but that doesn’t get you a gig on CNN.

that conservatives are familiar with:
Sane women understand that feminism is good for all women, and that all women, regardless of their political affiliation, should be comfortable in the movement. Marcotte & Co – the same people who demand absolute deference to a woman’s decision to partially deliver her unborn child before having a doctor stab it in the head with a pair of scissors – think that a woman who decides to run as a conservative is worthy of contempt and ridicule. This is either because they see feminism as a tool of the progressive movement, or they have so many psychological issues that they simply cannot think rationally about politics.
If Marcotte & Co want to push progressive that is their prerogative and they are welcome to do so, but when you decide that only woman with a specific set of opinions are worthy of support then perhaps they should call themselves something other than “feminist”.

lately because as has been noted in slate no feminist has had much to say about all these successful GOP women:
I’m not surprised that the only primary race to be noted by Feministing is Kamala Harris’ victory in the Democratic race for California attorney general or that the comments on a straightforward who’s-who post at Jezebel are full of bile regarding Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman. But it is disappointing that many liberal women don’t even seem to want the GOP to have strong female candidates. As Sara Libby wrote in Slate yesterday, “Do you still cheer if the ceiling is crashed by two conservative businesswomen?” To answer a question with a question, why not? (Especially in a primary.)
And the amazing think is it extends beyond the base races:
Nor are these high-profile victories the only signs that this is a conservative woman’s moment. Earlier, Susanna Martinez overcame a spending disadvantage to win the Republican gubernatorial nomination in New Mexico; if victorious in November, she will join Marco Rubio as a rising Hispanic star on the national stage. Anna Little, mayor of Highlands in Monmouth County, leads for the GOP nomination in New Jersey’s Sixth Congressional District; Little had the backing of tea-party activists, Faith and Freedom Coalition (which I founded last year), and Building a New Majority, a New Jersey group focused on ground game and turnout. Little’s margin stands at only 65 votes, so there may be a recount, but if she holds on, she will face Frank Pallone Jr., one of the most liberal members of Congress, in the fall.
National review gives the answer without realizing it:
One of the clear winners yesterday was Sarah Palin. The liberal media wrote her obituary after the 2008 elections, but she has emerged as one of the most influential political figures in the country. Not every candidate she has endorsed this year has won, but her support played a critical role in validating the candidacies of Nikki Haley and Carly Fiorina.
If it highlights Palin that is a step too far for the “sisterhood”. Of course if it was truly a “sisterhood” of women then they would be objecting to the implant stories.
Drew Carey they’re not:
Update: Stacy makes a simple point, if nothing else it does produce hits.
