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 didn’t know you knew how to do that.... filing in my memory. Talented lady, sweet you!!!
:)
>>> Wow. From budding Freeper to simpering douchebag in one post. Rare indeed.

Short and sweet.
Now you tell me that isn't something that could have been lifted right off the pages of a Gloria Steinem book.
I was just crediting the original poster of the pic.
That would be you, and it’s a great pic. Did you do the “Polarize this” addition?
Geeesh - 18 days and already a pest...
“
Try Maggie, Golda, Indira, and others.....
I second the ‘back to your cave’ directive...
LOL! Yes, I and my calculator can scale any picture you want.
At your service, dear lady.
Liberals still don’t know what’s in the constitution?
I thought we settled that.
No, I didn’t create that. I just um, borrowed it from another site. In retrospect, If I were creating such a pic, I would have made the sled dog a Grizzly.
Normally, I don’t like criticizing newbies just because of their sign up date.
In your case, I’ll make an exception.
What, you can’t just pull out the frame required?
What are you using: Windows? :/
That was a great comment.
HHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA! You funny!
Let us know.
Thank you, thank you. As soon as the FReepathon is over, I’ll get the Sarah photos in order. Some are too large to use for pinging her List. I hate to irk the Ping List with “large” photos.
It’s not “my” video.
Absolutely!
Looks like the U.K. needs another one just like her...
Great minds and all that clap :)
