Just saw Gephardt on fox. It suddenly became clear what their "new strategy" is, going after the female vote. He mentioned the glass ceiling, and how with her taking the big spot, it will show how the party is insightful etc.

They always tell us what they're thinking if we pay attention, let's cut 'em off at the pass.

The female vote? With Pelosi? How many women are energized by the idea of a shrill, strident left-wing aborto-feminist claiming to speak for them? Answer: NONE, that don't already vote left every election! Maybe Pelosi would take a few votes away from the Greens, but she would lose far more female votes than she would gain for the party.

Is women's empowerment a big issue for blacks? Is it a big issue for labor? No.

It looks like the Democratic Party is going for the college student vote <snicker>. It looks like they're pandering to their academic and ideological center. That is really pathetic, are they that desperate?

(the whole thing about being civil towards Democrats only applies to the vanity post, not my subsequent comments)

I don't understand why the Democrats would be doing more to capture the "female vote". I was under the impression they already have the "female vote". If I were them, I would be doing more to encourage men to vote Democratic. It seems as if there is more virture in having women vote for you than men. I can't imagine most men will be attracted to the Democrats if they put a shrill socialist feminist in charge. Furthermore, I suspect they already have the shrill socialist feminist vote, and the rest of us women won't be budged by even more leftist leaning ideas.
