McCain\u2019s narrative as a Vietnam War POW who suffered torture while Fonda gave his captors photo-ops will resonate even further if she takes to the stump on Obama\u2019s behalf. Her presence would draw connections between Obama\u2019s anti-war supporters and the radicals \u2014 like Ayers and Dohrn \u2014 of Fonda\u2019s generation. While that might thrill the MoveOn crowd, it will likely lose Obama the heartland, independents, and centrists who will balk at that kind of radicalism, especially while the more moderate option in McCain is available.<\/p>\n<p>Some might be surprised that Fonda didn\u2019t support Hillary Clinton in gender solidarity.  Hillary, in this one case, probably isn\u2019t among them, but instead relieved to avoid Fonda\u2019s baggage.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, if Obama wants it kept on the down-low, give the man what he wants.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, the hell.<\/p>\n<p><font size=\"5\">HANOI JANE ENDORSES OBAMA<\/font><\/p>\n<p>There.
