The group warns Sinema may find herself 'standing alone' in the next election


A political action committee dedicated to helping elect to office female Democratic candidates who support allowing abortion says it will no longer endorse Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., over her opposition to a change in Senate rules.

In a statement released Tuesday, Laphonza Butler, president of Emily's List, warned that Sinema may "find herself standing alone in the next election" should she not support efforts to change the chamber's rules so Democrats can pass legislation to overhaul elections.




So I look up Emilys List to see WTF they are, and....

https://www.emilyslist.org/ "EMILY's List is an American political action committee that aims to help elect Democratic female candidates in favor of abortion rights to office. It was founded by Ellen Malcolm in 1985. The group's name is an acronym for "Early Money Is Like Yeast", Malcolm commenting that "it makes the dough rise".


Really? Yeast was their best choice for a slogan or mascot?

I doubt Sinema is overly concerned.

What percentage of candidates endorsed by Emily's list won in 2014?
In the 2014 election cycle, EMILY's List endorsed 24 U.S. House candidates, six U.S. Senate candidates, and six gubernatorial candidates. Of these 40 candidates endorsed by EMILY's List, 42.5% won.

When I read of organizations like this, I thank God that my wife is a woman who loves children, and abhors abortion.

Well, I'm certainly not going to use Emily's List for future home improvement recommendations.
