EMILY's List, the influential Political Action Committee that supports and trains pro-choice, female candidates, is supporting Hillary Clinton for president, according to PoliticalWire. This is a big deal: While supporting Clinton this early may seem an obvious choice, it's a statement of Clinton's serious viability and a way for women in DC politics to flex muscles. I wonder how political marketing to women will change in this election cycle, when (perhaps) the most serious contender is herself female?
"The biggest political action committee in the country has never engaged in a presidential campaign, but that is about to change," Roll Call reports.
