the best man for the job is.....
Being an old, gay feminist, I have found pleasure in the desk-top placards of my female colleagues over the years: The best man for the job is a woman. However, I have decided to move on beyond the 1960s. In 2008, the best man for the job happens to be an African-American man and the worst, a white woman. Hillary had her chance in 2004 to defeat the GOP and she didn't have the balls to do it. If she didn't have the balls in 2004, she certainly doesn't have the balls for 2008.

I love the first line. And I agree. However, isn't using "balls" as a metaphor for courage distinctly anti-femminist?

Only if you are more interested in symbollic equality (as is HRC and the old guard) than, substantive equality.
