Too right:

This campaign, right now, is not the greatest example of why women should rule the world.

I would dearly love to see a woman president. I hope to see one soon. And Clinton has many qualities - extraordinary intelligence, remarkable stamina, policy mastery and the kind of ambition men and women need to succeed in politics. But she lost her soul somewhere along the way, has become consumed with process rather than principle, and has forgotten the difference between truth and falsehood. If she were the only option, I still couldn't bring myself to back the Clintons. But I wouldn't begrudge anyone who did. But when you have a transformative option with the talent and timing of Obama, you go with the best candidate. Here's hoping for an American Thatcher - a woman who wins the presidency whose husband did not precede her and who has forged her own path in her own way. But not this woman. Not now.
