DLG,
I think it's a good idea to pick a candidate and support them. I think the herself line is a political reality. Women, like other "groups" of voters (such as minority groups, males, etc.) are getting more engaged in politics and should become more involved. I think pretty much all groups are finding out that the loud "vocal minority" within their group is not accurately reflecting the majority of each group's views or wishes. These group "minorities" drive their own narrow interests and ignore important items for the rest of each group. With the increasing deficits and government crises, that is probably going to change, as it should.
I'm thinking Beau is going to be running around in a few circles figuring out what I mean about minorities within each group and especially a minority within a minority.
