The National Organization for Women has endorsed the Democratic presidential ticket of Barack Obama and Joe Biden -- not the Republican ticket, which includes Sarah Palin. NOW's decision has sparked discussion of what it means to be a feminist.

  • Kim Gandy: President of NOW, the National Organization for Women. She's also chair of NOW's PAC which endorsed the Obama/ Biden ticket.
  • Marie Wilson: President of The White House Project, a progressive nonpartisan group.
