Dear Senator Obama

Hi. I know you're busy right now, and you've got a lot on your mind. But if you can spare a few minutes, then for God's sake, call this woman! Hillary has already called her, but:

Obama, by contrast, has not called. Harwell hopes it's not because he assumes that the head of a Democratic women's organization will automatically vote for the woman in the race.

"I would hope that's not true. I get really irritated with the media when they paint this as a choice between race and gender," she said. "If he's discouraged because of that, it's a shame. A lot of our women are supporting Obama."

This woman is, of course, the president of the Tennessee Federation of Democratic Women, Vicki Harwell. And Senator Obama, she just hinted, in a big way, that this could be another unexpected superdelegate pickup for you. Because if she is definitely supporting Clinton, she wouldn't have bothered to drop that hint. So please, PLEASE, call her!

But no one tell the Tennessee Guerilla Whiners about this. They may try to oust Ms. Harwell, because as we all know, you can't really speak for women if you're an Obama supporter.
