Women in Green, Pink, Red and Orange

If the so-called PUMAs didn't listen to their own woman in orange who spoke at the DNC last night or feel any solidarity with the woman in green, then I hope they gave some attention to the woman in pink and especially the woman in red, Lily Ledbetter. Ledbetter's speech rocked! I can't remember being so fired up by a political speech.

It's inspiring to see accomplished and eloquent women with prestigious degrees on television working their sleek dresses and snazzy pant suits, but its even more important to pay heed to those women who haven't attained such status. Ledbetter's employer failed to give her equal pay, and when she fought them all the way to the Supreme Court, the court failed to give her justice.

"We can’t afford more of the same votes that deny women their equal rights," said Ledbetter. "Barack Obama is on our side."
