NOW Pac's endorsements of men U.S. Senate candidates may prove a point, but do absolutely nothing to empower women!

As we await the news that NOW-endorsed U.S. Senate candidate Alan Sandals has been clobbered in the PA Primary, there they go again!

NOW Pac today endorsed Ned Lamont in CT primary against Joe Lieberman. The press release read in part: "NOW PAC is the only political action committee that bases its endorsements on a candidate's support of the full range of feminist issues." But what is the point when a candidacy is D.O.A., and time and money that could have supported a woman candidate somewhere has been squandered. What am I missing?

Does subsidizing a man with access to more resources than a woman might have serve to empower women, even if that candidate was to win the election? Is a feminist man better than a feminist woman or even any woman in the end? One has only to reference studies done by the Center for Women in Politics at Rutgers to see that Republican women support women's issues more than Democrat men!

There is no substitute for women sitting at decision-making tables -- and when we reach 5050X2020, issues that are important to women and to NOW will have dissipated or at least be on their way out. NOW Pac should revisit its priorities and stop worrying about not being fair to men who support their issues -- when we have equal representation and the playing field is really levels, we can then revisit the concept of fair.
