BARACK OBAMA ANOTHER

JIMMY CARTER IN THE MAKING

 

Now that a would-be first female president is ending her quest for the White House, the race is more about women than ever before.

 

With Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s ending her campaign for the Democratic nomination, the presumptive nominees are moving to claim her followers, especially her signature bloc, the millions of women who cast primary votes for her.

 

Senator Barack Obama’s campaign is positioning itself as the rightful heir to these Democratic voters. Senator John McCain’s strategists are plotting to convert them, particularly older women who are skeptical of Mr. Obama’s thin résumé.

 

Even the Democratic National Committee chairman is avidly trying to make up for accusations that he allowed sexism in the race to pass unchallenged.

 

In keeping with this close bond, many supporters say they are less likely to transfer this heartfelt allegiance to Mr. Obama than to follow their hero’s cues.

 

If Barack Obama is elected president he will turn out to be another Jimmy Carter if not worse.
