The media is deafeningly silent to the huge gap of men who vote for Republicans. There is no discussion of why men will overwhelmingly vote for republicans. What are the issues that concern men as a group? Whatever they are the democrat party does not represent them. The joke of "real men don't for democrat party" will not be so funny in the future.

Remind me never to complain about ''liberal media bias'' again. Right now, liberal media bias is conspiring to assist the Democrats to sleepwalk over the cliff.

I keep telling my Democratic friends this. They don't get it when I tell them that the Republican Party is sometimes strengthened by the press' double standard.

The press coverage of Republicans weeds out our moral weaklings and keeps theirs in power. Bob Packwood (gone); Bill Clinton (further empowered, to the chagrin of the Dems)...

"That's likely to prove more relevant in the two years ahead than whether she looks better in a bikini than Walter Mondale."

Now if that isn't a disgusting thought, and offense to man and nature.

Steyn as always a fun read.

What a fantastic piece. KUTGW, Mark!

Thanks, Pokey.

Just about the least interesting thing about Pelosi is that she's a woman. What's interesting is that she's a Haight-Ashbury leftist who voted against war with Iraq. That's likely to prove more relevant in the two years ahead than whether she looks better in a bikini than Walter Mondale.

Hmmmm. I can't decide. Walter or Nancy? Nancy or Walter? Can I just pick my wife?

Among female voters under 30, as many voted Republican as Democrat.

Oh this does deserve repeating.

LOL!! What a great line! We DO still need to be aware of the bias and work against it whenever it is damaging to our causes, but when the media is assisting in the crashing and burning of the Dems, we just need to step out of the way!

Can't say it often enough: the liberal press unwittingly works for us...

The boos for Trent Lott? The walkout by Gov. Jesse Ventura? The totalitarian hectoring by Wellstone aide Rick Kahn as he singled out attending Republicans by name and demanded they switch sides? Jonathan Karl sat through all of it and evidently thought none of it worth mentioning. It was the same with Jodi Wilgoren in the New York Times, whose report of the event--''Mourning In Minnesota''--seemed blithely unaware of its tenor. Kahn's partisan bullying was described only as a ''spirited eulogy.'' Karl and Wilgoren missed the story: They saw what millions of American TV viewers saw, but they were either blind or averted their eyes.

It's getting to the point where I almost wish nobody would point this out, lest it ruin a good thing.

I love Steyn, but he really looks small when he cattily draws attention to how much better Walter would look in a bikini than Nancy would!

[Oschisms]

The other story that might be worth going with is ''Young Women Hot For Republicans.''

What about all those network boobs who gave us the fawning puff pieces about how Bill Clinton's crowd-pulling rock-star charisma is bigger than ever on the campaign trail? Sure, he pulls crowds--of Republicans, to the polls.

Wish I'd said that...

...which might suggest even to our dopey press that perhaps the rent-a-quote spokeswomen don't represent quite as many women as they claim to.

They know this. NOW boasts membership of 185,000 (which is probably inflated) and Kim Gandy is all over the place (and Patricia Ireland before her) while CWA has about 480,000 members but nobody has ever heard of Sandy Rios.

ROFL! Go Dems!! Now, instead of getting angry at liberal media bias, my only refrain shall be: "You Go Girl!"....lol.

I had to look up psephology. Steyn rocks as usual.

Now, add in George Wills' commentary on gerrymandering from today's "This Week" and you have the explanation for the wins they did get.
