This weekend is the National NOW Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana. Normally the conference doesn't rate too high on the national media landscape, but this year is an election year. Not only that, but it's almost a rehashing of the Barack versus Hillary drama we had last year:

Delegates will be choosing between Latifa Lyles, a 33-year-old African-American who has been one of Gandy's three vice presidents, and Terry O'Neill, 56, a white activist who taught law at Tulane University, who was NOW's vice president for membership from 2001-05, and who most recently has been chief of staff for a county council member in Maryland's Montgomery County.

A young, black candidate who promises diversity and change faces off against an older, white candidate who, for many, represents preservation of the status quo. Sound familiar? Well, despite the obvious referent, it also describes the current campaign to replace Kim Gandy as president of the National Organization for Women (NOW). The group will elect a new leader at its national conference in Indianapolis, which begins Friday.

Despite the media's play on the young versus old (not that Terry's old mind ya!) or Black versus White, these are two formidable women who have different ideas on how to make NOW relevant to a new generation of women and ensure that the Obama administration follows through on his promises to women and the LGBT community. Once the conference starts, hopefully the rhetoric will be all about their campaign promises and not their age or ethnicity.

What does the future hold for feminism? I guess we'll find out this weekend.

The bigger question is, will anyone notice?

I'll be there with my trusty laptop and Twitterfeed a-tweeting, pop on over to my other hangout to see how feminists do their politics. I know it's gonna be popcorn worthy.
