W&W on the Radio: Obama's Choice

President Obama will name a new justice to the Supreme Court soon, and there is wide speculation that he will pick a woman to succeed David Souter. But how important should gender be in his selection, given that his presidency signals new strides in diversity? On the latest edition of Wilshire & Washington on the Radio, we talk with Kim Gandy, president of the National Organization for Women, about women's rights in the age of Obama.

Also: Is Miss California the victim of sexism? And a brief comment on the annual ritual known as the White House Correspondents Dinner.
