<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->ANOTHER REASON FOR HILLARY SUPPORTERS TO VOTE FOR MCCAIN?
By Mande Wilkes
FITSNews - July 2, 2008 - Apparently more interested in form over substance, Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama isnât practicing what he preaches with regard to workplace equality.
<b>According to a report by the Secretary of the Senate, men are overrepresented among Obamaâs staff and the average male employee makes $6,000 more than his female counterpart.</b>
This data has been released amid Obamaâs recent support of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act, a bill which sought to relax time limits for sex discrimination suits. Though the bill eventually failed, Obama voted for it - a fact which he incessantly repeats as part of his effort to court Hillary Clinton supporters.
In fact, Obama spoke just last week in New Mexico about his commitment to workplace equality and his support of the defunct Lilly Ledbetter bill.
New Mexico is a swing state, so itâs no surprise that heâs invoking his support for the Ledbetter legislation as he campaigns for the stateâs female voters.
Of course, Obama isnât mentioning the gender discrepancy among his own staff.
