Perfect illustration of how the handsome Romney, with his reassuring daddy's-home image, is the quintessential "Ladies' Candidate." He appeals to women, especially traditional Republican women, on a level that most men don't even perceive, let alone understand.

This woman doesn't get it at all.

I'm so sick of people who claim to be conservative fawning over slick RINOs like Romney, Huckabee and McCain.

Those guys are no better than the touchy-feely, bleeding heart Democrats.

Romney is old, uses Botox, and dye ...

and is greasy looking...

He’s also a wimpy girly man...

No eye candy there..

Not exactly the ingredients for a *THUD*

Now if Harrison Ford was running...

It's the nature of the beast for women to fall for candidates like Romney, and I think one of the unconscious reasons the Founders declined to give women the vote (though Biblical philosophy, wise as it is, was probably the more "conscious" reason).

We women in the Western world are so used to being very nearly on a par with men in most ways that on a conscious level, we rarely even percieve that men are our only defenders. When you grew up semi-rural as a baby sister in a large family of otherwise all boys -- kind, loving, big brothers -- you learned in a very basic way that females are always at the mercy of males bigger and stronger than them. Period. It's maybe why I love men and boys as much as I do.

I think I'm one of few who consciously understands that really, men are my only defenders and on this worldy plane (as opposed to what God bestows), a female's freedom and independence is solely a result of the graciousness of men.

But subconsciously, all women know this, I think. It's maybe why so many women hate, resent, and belittle men. And I think it's also why when women see a politician who comes across as a good-husband-like protector, provider, and daddy, she will subconsciously put too much stock in those qualities. A THINKING woman, like you and me (!), will recongize and anticipate that tendency, even on a subconsious level, and bypass it to think on the bigger scale.

Just my take on it. I consider Romney even more dangerous than Obama in the long run because Romney is the better illusionist.
