"One source said the three female council members who were undecided had become increasingly put off in recent days by the personal attacks Bagshaw was taking from male sports fans on social media and certain talk-show hosts on Sports Radio KJR."

Are these women all liberal Dems? Anyone know? Were they upset when Sarah Palin was vilified by Dems of both (perhaps, all three) genders?

The whole lot is very liberal with one openly calling herself a socialist.
