Can Emily's List Recover?
They had a terrible 2006 election cycle and threw their entire weight behind the Clinton campaign. Ellen Malcolm, an IBM heiress, is the big macher and uncowed:
In April, she suggested that her group might not back some of
EMILY's List's brightest stars, including Sens. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.,
and Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., who supported Obama during the primary.
"We'll just have to wait and see," Malcolm said when asked whether
the senators could lose their seats because they backed Obama, the
Associated Press reported on April 18. That quote incensed many in
progressive Democratic circles, who viewed it as a threat. "That is a
big, big mistake," Fenn said. "Listen, you're trying to expand the
tent, not shrink it."
