Women and politics

The Democratic Party rejected Hillary Clinton as its presidential nominee. Voters turned aside Sarah Palin as the first female vice president. Sen. Elizabeth Dole was ousted from the Senate. News like this might be discouraging to women who may want to enter politics.

One politically active woman wants to build on the progress made by women in 2008.

Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a Hillary Clinton supporter and fundraiser who switched her support to the McCain-Palin ticket, has a new mission. She wants to encourage more women to get involved in politics.

Part of her campaign is a new Web site, www.together4us.com

If they are going to be of the Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe variety, she can save the effort.
