N.O.W. to Endorse MOSELEY-BRAUN

I picked this story up from the Spoons Experience and my reaction was similar: a spontaneous, involuntary, does-your-heart-good, old-fashioned belly-laugh. The Associated Press reports more somberly:

In a boost to her flagging campaign, Democratic presidential candidate Carol Moseley Braun is expected to pick up her first major endorsements next week from the National Organization for Women and the National Women's Political Caucus.

The endorsements, first reported in Friday's editions of the Chicago Sun-Times, will be announced Tuesday in Washington by leaders of the groups, according to a source with Braun's campaign.

It's curious that the radical feminist groups are selecting a candidate that recently polled 0 percent support in New Hampshire, the state holding the first primary. With the NOW endorsement, Moseley-Braun can count on the lesbians and abortion advocates for support, but that probably won't significantly increase her poll ratings in New Hampshire and Iowa.
