    Women for Obama

    Women came out in Iowa last night-for Obama. He won with them overall, and among younger women with a wide margin. Hillary Clinton carried only the older-women crowd. That was reflected at the caucus I went to, especially in a mother-daughter pair who split Clinton-Obama, respectively.

    If this dynamic continues in a couple of more states, Clinton will be toast, won't she? Is there something impressive about younger women transcending identity politics? Or is this really more about these particular candidates, and the change vs. experience choice they've come to represent?
