The female candidates, commentators and influencers who matter--and provoke chatter--most.
The midterm elections are a week away, and this year an overwhelming number of female candidates, commentators and influencers are commanding the headlines, brashly driving the conversation and laboring to deliver who will control the Senate, the House and the future direction of the country.
The forces that put us in this position come in the form of various political baronesses and upstarts that make up this Top 25 Power Women of Elections 2010. A great many of these mighty women appear on Forbes' list of The World's 100 Most Powerful Women, including Tea Party queenmaker Sarah Palin, First Lady Michelle Obama and Rachel Maddow, a cable news anchor with a beef against "extremists" in politics.
Yet the polarizing are, in some ways, those who matter most. Or at least provoke chatter most. Consider Mama Grizzly Sharron Angle, clawing at Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's seat from Nevada and whose challenge to the incumbent is to "man up." Or contender for the U.S. Senate from Delaware, Christine O'Donnell, whose open ignorance or misreading of the First Amendment’s guarantee of separation of church and state--"You're telling me that's in the First Amendment?"--caused a 10-alarm fire on the airwaves and Internet.
Or Maureen Dowd, who coined the phrase "Mean Girls" of the midterms (talking about the Tea Party sorority), saying that they have replaced "Hope with Spite and Cool with Cold." Or the California governor's race, where Republican Meg Whitman was labeled a "whore" by her Democratic challenger's aide.

Eh, Maddow IS the definition of extremism. Nice try, though, Meghan.
Polarizing is code words for Not-Liberal We are skunking them so we are Polarizing. Get used to it, Marxists, we are taking the country back!
You have GOT to be kidding me. And I'm supposed to take the rest of this article seriously?
I also think that Sarah Palin lives rent-free in a lot of people's heads.
Sure, for one a country is pretty much doomed when the supposed conservatives are clamoring to be ruled by women.
That's the "rarification of triumphant values" right there that the Marxists told us they aimed to achieve. When leftism has so infested a society that even that which is considered the right wing remedy is really just disguised liberalism.
Wow.
First off, I’d suggest changing your tagline. Then head back to the cave.
pissant, is that you?
Ironic that you should mention that because that's about the level of existence you see in matriarchal societies.
I don’t know if you realize the thin ice you’re standing on, Mr. Newbie.
Thin ice for what? Pointing out the anthropological fact that all the currently observable matriarchies in the world are subsistence level African and Pacific and Indian Ocean island tribes.
Or pointing out the fact that what passes as Conservatism each successive decade would have been recognized easily as liberalism two generations ago.
Or pointing out the fact that early 20th Century Marxist had a term for this effect of their strategies of taking over educational institutions which they called "the rarification of triumphant values".
Which of these puts me on thin ice?
It's no wonder we need a diversion.

Very good! LOL! Boneheads for Boxer. :)
No. 1: Sarah Palin, Political Maverick
Sarah Palin has leveraged her national notoriety and massive audience draw to support more than 25 female candidates this election cycle, including six up for election in November. Most have ties to her beloved Tea Party.
Palin recently kicked off the final midterm tour of the Tea Party Express in Reno, Nev., to support Sharron Angle (No. 13), majority leader Harry Reid's fierce opponent, and will wrap up on Halloween for a pep rally to honor controversial Republican Delaware senatorial candidate Christine O'Donnell (No. 17).
Palin and several other conservative gals have done the hard ground work to set up 2012.
From my standpoint there are few guys out there thanhave put in the work achievement like Palin, Bachman,others and who have made the conseravtive movement what it is.
When 2012 comes along I for one will not forgot who did the hard long unforgiving ground work to get us to 2012. I hope others remember as well.
I am not one for putting in a front running phony simply because he may have the numnbers. The one who does the hard work gets the prize IMHO.
