Clinton gets her party started

Wins in Massachusetts, California and other big states, plus an uncommonly good speech by their candidate, made a New York Super Tuesday crowd very happy.

    Think November

    Maybe Clinton is more popular in die-hard blue states like Massachusetts and New York. Then again, so was Dukakis.

    Independents are preferring Obama by wide margins. We're seeing waves of first-time voters turning out for Obama. And while McCain fractures the Republican base, nothing unites and motivates them like Hillary Clinton -- while I'm watching former Republican friends crossing the aisle to support Obama.

    Being a feminist, I judge the candidates not by their gender but by the content of their campaigns, and our best hope for a Democrat in the White House is Obama.
