Senator Barack Obama tells a crowd in New Albany, Indiana why he supports equal pay for all Americans.

1. I was glad both Barack and Hillary returned to the Senate for this today. nt

2. Especially after Mc Cain spoke up to say he is against it:

3. So let me understand this. Obama-- strongly pro women's rights, McCain--doesn't give a shit

but Hillary's women won't vote their own best interests if Obama is our candidate in the fall?

4. They say they won't.

But they will. Edwards supporters were determined he should go all the way to the convention but when he dropped out, after licking their wounds, they eventually reluctantly chose one of the remaining candidates. The same for Biden, Dodd, Richardson and Kucinich supporters.

5. I was there at this speech.

I didn't expect this part, but I was very pleasantly surprised. He brought up the point that I think too often gets lost in the mix of this issue - pay disparity doesn't just affect women, it affects entire families. While it's patently wrong for women make less than men - that fact is morally inexcusable on its face - it's important not to forget that it's not JUST an equality issue, either.

6. and isn't it sad that it is even an issue at all in 2008.

So damn sad.
