This guy rarely fails to hit a home run. Donating to FR is worth it, just to find his columns in one place.

The Dems are the party of old women. Oh, OK, ''mature'' women

Oh, I like that one. We have to start getting that one out and around.

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

I could have gone the rest of my life without that image and not felt the loss. That's just irresponsible journalism.

Please put me on your Steyn ping list.

Silly piece really. It is one of his worst, sadly. Single woman were as Dem as ever, married woman were not, and where woman won or lost was due to the partisan balance in their districts mostly, or due to having to face a strong GOP incumbent like Leach in Iowa. Overall, the gender gap did decline apparently, with men a bit more Dem, and woman quite a bit more GOP overall, but that is based on a poll, and not on the evidence Steyn adduced. This piece would have had more traction if it dealt with Dem primaries, where Emily's List struck out.

Thanks Pokey - Another great Steyn!

suddenly decided that there was a pressing need to discover how ''women'' were doing in this election and commanded the back-room psephologists to unearth the relevant data.

Wow, it's been a long time since I've had to crack a dictionary to look up a word I've never seen before.

pse-phol-o-gy (see fol'uh jee) n.

1. the study of elections. [1950-55; < Gk psêpho (s) pebble + - LOGY; so called from the Athenian custom of casting votes by means of pebbles]

Thanks for another great read from the master.

There is so much truth in Mark's final statement, and the left wing media has no idea that its refusal to document what the libs are really like, is hastening the end of 1960/70's lunatic lib party.

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.

As a newly elected public servant, I can tell you that there are, indeed, "women's issues." Take childcare, not one male Supervisor will tolerate having to serve on that county committee. Behavioral health, elder care, child abuse, family services - all the same. This is the "women supervisors" automatic domain. Also, if you look at the committees, there are very few men serving on them - unless they are department heads or physicians. This implies that women care enough about these issue to commit their time and talents to them.

Observing the political leanings of those involved in these issues as a profession, particularly teachers and sociologists, I would say that they are liberal.

Recently, I was privileged to hear Charles Wiley of Accuracy in Media speak. He recounted a story about an obituary of a gentleman who was identified as a Republican and, "in contrast," involved in charitable works.

When my son told his female friend that his mom was a Republican, she crinkled her nose and stated that she couldn't understand why a woman would be a Republican.

I, for one, think we have some image problems. We can pat ourselves on the back and deny it, but the problem will not go away.
