The crux of Mathews’ interview addressed a poll out today reporting that 11% of ex-Hillary backers will attempt to torpedo Obama by voting for McCain or no one, with some desperately holding onto the crazed belief that at the DNC Convention Hillary will stage a miraculous comeback during roll call, seizing super-delegates, and sending Obama home to Chicago in disgrace.
Yet my opinion is these would-be Dems will either not show up on Election Day, or their “outrage” (which frankly, amounts to reverse sexism) won’t amount to a blip in the battleground states where this election will be won or lost.
Anyhow, Dahlia Lithwick over on Slate posted an interesting—if overly cerebral-- article questioning the motives of the pro-Hillary cadre, and whether in their furor for voice they are simply reinforcing age-old stereotypes of women as, well, crazy bitches.
Guess what? She's right.

Thanks for your entry here. I was searching for Diane Mantouvalos on google and somehow came to your site. Cool. Keep up the good work.
I saw Diane Mantouvalos on MSNBC also. Like the PUMA who also manage to get interviewed on FOX and MSNBC she seems slick, polished, youngish and very comfortable being in front of a camera. I googled her and few entries for someone with that name who is also from MA and now loves in Florida works for a PR firm. With the main PUMA, Darragh Murphy, having been exposed recently as Republican plant I wonder if Diane is fellowup.
I'm not sure where Diane is coming from emotionally. She seemed relaxed during the interview with CM, and not the foaming-at-the-mouth lunatic Darragh Murphy is.
Either way, both women are desperately pulling for a horse that lost the big race months ago.
I find both of them to be pretty sad.
