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.

I've been very bad, mistress. >:-|
OMGosh, you’re also dead! [sobs uncontrollably]
No, no, no! That was my twin Paul who died!
Phew! So you’re not dead after all.
Paul’s twin, huh.
So you’re 85 years old. You’re remarkably well preserved. I’m impressed!
Botox, Hair Color For men, and cosmetic surgery, baby!
Apparently you equate militarism with Conservatism. It's not. Trotsky was quite a militarist. They were both not just socialists by policy, but actual members of the Socialist International.
Also this here is just bad history as Israel had never had it disclosed they had nuclear weapons at the time of her term of her being Prime Minister.

LOL If you will notice, they still don’t.
Her diplomatic statement ‘all arms at our disposal’ was pretty clear.

Only one who mentioned Conservatism is YOU!
Hey, he-man, go to caveman.com and stop cluttering up nice places with your simplistic grunting.
No one is advocating matriarchy, just freedom. We’re supposed to be on the same side. Try to grasp the big picture before you grunt again.
That’s nice. You look like my great-grandson, and you want to flirt? That’s just eeeewwwww.
Yes, about 12 times now on this thread, and on posts to which you've responded. And on a Conservative forum no less.
So, I get it, to you, illiberal opinions on women and politics is a worse sin than being a Socialist. Got it. Ok, carry on.
Sorry, I thought advocating conservatism was the higher calling here. When freedom is the highest calling, that's libertarianism - two different things.
