Women seem to be doing a wonderful job for all those other countries.

Maybe American women who are married with kids prefer to actually see their children more than once a month and this is why national political jobs don't appeal to them.
that CBS posting said : " .... The march to equality comes in baby steps ... "
That is not the best logic, to say that because women don't make up 51% of the seats in Congress that we are therefore not equal.
If there was a city School Board of Education that was composed of 5 seats and just so happened that all 5 members on the Board were women, that wouldn't mean that male students in that city are automatically not equal.

I once mapped out her organization and chain of command. It's matrix management, and somewhat complex. But I did learn that she has 13 people above her. Two of them are men. She does not report to the men, and the men are very much in the middle, not running the show.
I showed her a diagram of this so-called "Boy's Club" -- 11 women, 2 men -- and she said "You don't get it ..."
so many points here to discuss. I'll try to pick just one.... male turnout. In talking to both R and D precinct workers in the Il 6-Roskam-Duckworth and 8-McSweeney-Bean districts, one consistent opinion expressed from men who always vote Republican and most of always vote, was that this time these men were going to stay home in protest to the corruption in Illinois Politics. They were going to punish the non-corrupt candidates for Congress and lesser offices for the corruption in both candidates for governor.
In contrast, corruption was the #1 issue for women voters in IL also. But their response was to be even more certain to vote ... and to vote Democrat ... because both parties were corrupt ... but they expected Democrats to be corrupt. They held Republicans to a higher standard. The corruption of the candidates for governor also cascaded down-ballot to Republican candidates who were not corrupt.
The coup-de-grace was Hastert doing such a poor job of (again) covering up for the mis-deeds of others. He has done that for other Illinois politicians and now he was doing it for Foley ... or at least that was the image that Hastert himself projected in his direct comments to the media.
Bush had a long scheduled fund raiser for Roskam and McSweeney. (Apparently) Hastert's people were able to push Roskam and McSweeney into the background while Hastert got all the camera time and was a total disaster on camera, especially in the eyes of women he was a disaster. If the Dems were to run a video clip of Hastert there would be protests of dirty and unfair tactics from Republicans.
Dotty sounds like she's enthusiastically in faver, however.
