I’ve read more than one conservative commentator who points out that McCain surrounds himself in his campaign with many more accomplished and capable women, and thus is better on wage parity and opportunity for women than Obama.

However, given McCain’s history with women, it looks to me more like a case of Lazarus Long syndrome rather than being a beacon of equality and opportunity.

Not that there’s anything wrong with a guy wanting to be surrounded by accomplished women who are dedicated to his success and vision, I just suspect that it is more for the benefit of McCain than for the benefit of the campaign or the women, and it should not be assumed that McCain’s public policies will follow from any sort of feminist thought or dedication to a feminist outlook…liberal or conservative.
