12. Her argument
was that it is empowering to America's girls and young women to see a woman in such a position of power. That message of "I can be anything I want" is, according to her, more transformational than the usual Dem policies that she supports.

This wasn't just a LTTE. It was an editorial from a lady who's written 20 books. I'd never heard of her though.

Seems to come down to image versus substance. A woman VP -- even if terrible -- is good for women based on image alone.
