The pro-abortion women’s PAC EMILY’s List has learned through experience how to put on a happy face in the aftermath of huge losses.
In 2002 17 of EMILY’s 21 endorsed candidates lost in the national election.
In 2004 10 of EMILY’s 13 endorsed candidates lost in the national election.
In 2006 16 of EMILY’s 18 endorsed candidates lost in the national election.
Now, the group’s leadership has apparently gone hysterical after seeing its hard-fought presidential candidate Hillary Clinton lose to Barack Obama. Reported the Washington Independent on June 11:

Ellen Moran began to laugh. This wasn’t a snicker or a snort, but a full-throttled laugh that caused Moran to jerk her head back toward the ceiling as she contemplated the question before her. It was the early afternoon of June 6 and the 42-year-old executive director of EMILY’s List had just been asked whether she believed if the political group could have done anything differently during the presidential run of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, in which the political group played an integral part….

Now, a day before Clinton announced the official suspension of her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, Moran and the office were in the aftermath, wondering what would come next and what Clinton’s failed candidacy meant for the future of their organization….
Most prominent among the group was its founder and president Ellen Malcolm, who became a kind of super-surrogate for Clinton, to the ire of some in the Democratic Party, who said her efforts were divisive. Before a debate in Iowa in December, Malcolm held a news conference in which she said that while she recognized Obama as being pro-choice, he had not been fervent enough in defending the cause in either the U.S. Senate or the Illinois State legislature.
Near the end of the campaign, when another group devoted to abortion rights, NARAL Pro-Choice America, came out to endorse Obama, Malcolm lashed back, calling NARAL ”tremendously disrespectful” by not giving Clinton ”the courtesy to finish the final three weeks of the primary process.”…
Moran said. “I’m optimistic that many of these women we’ve helped elect and have yet to elect can emerge and be ready. Again, 10 years ago where was Barack Obama? He was just finishing up his freshman term in the legislature. Helllllllllloooooooooooooo! That is profound.”

Wow, women scorned.
But, hey, there’s more good news. EMILY’s List has decided to endorse Obama.
