Oh for crying out loud. Can the Dems talk about anything that has to do with the current decade. Women's voices? Give me a break, President Bush has liberated millions upon millions of women and they call it an ill conceived war.

She's spent a lot of her ex-husband's hard earned money to get to this point in her life.

Obama is probably as far left as they go. But he's telegenic, he's a good speaker and he's educated.

In today's political environment, that makes him dangerous to the GOP.

I agree.

She's proud of the fact that she does her own hair. That is how she relates to people like you and me. You know... the working class...
