Thus is the final battle joined.

Or is it?

Senator Barack Obama will increasingly lean on prominent Democratic women to undercut Gov. Sarah Palin and Senator John McCain, dispatching Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to Florida on Monday and bolstering his plan to deploy female surrogates to battleground states, Obama advisers said Thursday…

Obama aides said they were counting on not only Mrs. Clinton but also Democratic female governors to rebut Ms. Palin — and, by extension, Mr. McCain. Those governors include Janet Napolitano of Arizona and Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas…

“What McCain has done with Governor Palin’s nomination is aim right at a demographic that Obama needs to address quickly: noncollege-educated women,” said Mike McCurry, a former spokesman in the Clinton White House. “They need to maximize Biden’s ability to reach out to them, but at the end of the day, it is Obama who has to get that very, very critical group.”…

Advisers to Mrs. Clinton said that she stood ready to help the Obama-Biden ticket, but they urged the campaign not to overestimate the impact Mrs. Clinton could have, noting that she had other commitments this fall, like campaigning and raising money for Senate candidates.

The CW after Palin’s speech was that Hillary’s the big loser because there’s another prominent woman around to usurp her throne. Just the opposite: Now Her Majesty gets to play kingmaker by dispensing her gender cache to whatever greater or lesser extent she sees fit to counter Palin. Obama’s at her mercy. Either McCain wins and finishes off Obama’s presidential ambitions, clearing the way for her in 2012, or else Obama wins with Hillary’s stature as feminist pope bolstered by having helped keep the sisterhood in the fold. The problem with the second strategy is that if she hits the trail in earnest and McCain wins anyway, it’ll be taken as evidence that her moment with women has passed. Better to sit back, half-*** it, and let the media decide later that she wasn’t really trying so that the thought of her deploying her army of women in 2012 still strikes terror into the GOP’s heart. Which, it sounds like, is what she’s going to do.

Incidentally, am I mistaken or wasn’t the left very indignant indeed last week that McCain would stoop to playing identity politics with women’s votes? And yet here we are, with the Light and the Way set to roll out an army of surrogates to counter Palin, all of whom coincidentally happen to be female.

The Times actually played up that fact in its original headline for this story, before surreptitiously changing it sometime last night to make it sound less cynical and damaging to Obama. Althouse caught them in the act. Exit question: How many progressive Obama supporters at the Florida rally will greet Hillary wearing “Bros Before Hos” t-shirts?

Update: Here’s how flat-flooted Team Barry’s been caught: They’re apparently still pushing the Eagleton meme.

“All statements by Barack Obama come with an expiration date. All of them.”

  1. I think it sounds more like your desperation is showing. Democrats don't need to convince people that they aren't sexist. They are the party of civil rights.

    Furthermore, Obama is the one who believes in equal pay for equal work.


  2. He didn't ask her; McCain has now disrespected her and her supporters, so she has every right to vouch for Obama.


  3. Obama is desperate and Hillary is dumbfounded that a previously unknown, strong woman is going to take her dream! Poor ole' Hillary. What's her weight up to these days after McCain announced his VP?

  4. I smell desperation, he really f'ed up his chances, oh well....He has no one to blame but himself and his messiah complex.

  5. Noble Son Barack knows Quran and will bring peace-he needs no woman as Noble Son knows woman needs covering and not talk.

  6. BO is corrupt , as is J Mac . im voting Nader .

  7. OBAMA WILL OWN!

  8. I see someone is special needs. I'm glad Sarah Palin will be helping you out.

  9. You are desperate and angry

  10. lol...you people are desperate are you?  You KNOW Palin pales in comparison to Hillary and Hillary and Obama are alike on their policies.  Do you people REALLY think women are that dumb?  Even my 20 year old son could see through this...his college buddies can!  Give it up!  

    Seems I saw the Stepford wives at the Rep National Convention whining!  It is politics...free country, Hillary can campaign for who she wants to!  Palin even comparing her bid for VP to Hillary just nauseated me!  But then when I found how she used her daughter, lied about being against the bridge to nowhere, she lost all creditability.  She is simply not fit for any position!

    And the icing on the cake:

    Palin is dangerous!

  11. hillary should buy him a one way ticket straight to he***llll he was selfish when he stole the election from hilll who had 18 mill votes, all the critical states needed to win elections and was polling better than mccain than he himself was. he made the primaries abt himself and not winning elections. if i was hill i'd tell him to stand up for himself and be a man and stop expecting other people to do his dirty work for him - if he can't handle the heat he should get out of the kitchen and leave it to hill who could handle the pressure

  12. When beliefs and ideas or the  same that would normally be the connection you need but unfortunately because of all the isms in the world people are sometimes willing to harm themselves or put their supposed beliefs on the back burner and go totally opposite of whatever they believe .

  13. Awe poor Barack.... He so wishes he would have picked Hillary now.  Somehow I don't see Hillary going all out for him!!  Why should she- he dis-respected her by picking Biden.  He was so afraid to share the glory with Hillary.  Guess he's going back to the senate.

  14. McCain: Help Me! George! Help Me!

  15. Obama is going to have to get rid of Biden and bring Hilary in if he wants to have any chance - Palin Power!

  16. Actually it's

    Hillary saying :

    " I BETTER WORK MY BUTT OFF BECAUSE IF HE LOSE IT'S MY FAULT!"

  17. News flash Obama doesn't need any help

    After past three days...the robots are unwinding and shown how very rusty they are

    He just needs women to talk to women .......men are just unable to understand some things that relate to women's issues
