New York City women who support Barack Obama held a rally at City Hall yesterday, ostensibly to counter the post-Palin storyline of female voters moving to John McCain.
At the end of the rally, I asked some attendees if thought Palin was being treated fairly during the campaign, or if, as Hillary Clinton asserted during her campaign, sexism is still an issue on the campaign trail.
“I can’t speak for Ms. Palin,” said City Councilwoman Letitia James.
“Nor do I think that we need to waste much time on it!” shouted actress Kathleen Turner.
The crowd roared. Afterwards, Representatives Nydia Velazquez and Yvette Clarke took turns at answering the question.
