Stuff of Genius
Well gee, Michelle is lost and confused about what happened to feminists. That’s what happens when you start with a faulty premise, like assuming there was a choice after 2004, and start blaming the victim. Hey, at least she knows our name, and she’s discombobulated enough she forgot to ignore us:
THE NEW REPUBLIC
Shattered

[Can someone please tell me what the hell happened? This presidential election was supposed to be a high-water mark for feminism. Hillary Clinton entered the primaries as the first female front-runner in our nation’s history. Better still, she wasn’t running as a Woman Candidate. ….]

Of course, THIS kind of information below is the real source of Michelle’s concern:

Worries on the Left:
Dean: “We can’t afford to lose a single vote in Iowa”
By JOHN DEETH 9/8/08 6:38 AM
[Democratic National Committee chair Howard Dean called Iowa “one of the most important swing states in America” at the University of Iowa Friday.
“We didn’t win Iowa last time,” Dean said in his first Iowa City visit since a rally the night before the 2004 caucuses. “If we win Iowa this time, we will win the presidency of the United States of America.”
Riding into town on a red white and blue Obama “Register For Change” bus, Dean stressed voter registration, early voting, and volunteering.
“We can’t afford to lose a single vote in Iowa, I’m not kidding. Not one,” said Dean, asking the mostly student crowd to pretend the eager staffers in the back armed with voter registration forms ware big burly security guards. “They won’t let you past them until you get signed up.”]

And worries on the right:
Kansas City Star
Palin-McCain tell Lee’s Summit that they’re better than the Dems
From Steve Kraske moving with the John McCain-Sarah Palin entourage.
[Palin’s speech was interrupted numerous times by chants of “Sarah, Sarah, Sarah” and “John McCain, John McCain.” When McCain got his chance, he stressed the importance of Republicans winning Missouri in November.” We must win this state, and we will to win the presidency of the United States,” he said.]
Everyone wants a catfight. That‘s what makes for news these days. Maybe eventually we will just talk about political viewpoints and agendas:

A Superdelegate Murdered:
BY ROSEMARY REGELLO
August 19, 2008 (Updated 8/24)
Has Karl Rove declared open season on Democrats? In just the past two years, Rove has sent the governor of Alabama to prison, replaced eight U.S. Attorneys with political operatives, and helped Donna Brazile’s candidate dominate the 2008 Democratic presidential primaries despite his thin resume. Now a prominent Arkansas Democrat is shot dead the day after joining a petition drive to nominate Hillary Clinton. Did the G.O.P.’s Machiavellian warlord catch a break, or is there something else going on here?
