Hello, Gender Gap; Friday night in St. Louis, George W. Bush hurt himself with women.

I've seen a lot from the so-called pundits this line about women voters and I think it's laughable.

I agree with the author that Black Women were never in play, but White Women, the ones who'll vote in huge numbers, are interested in security now above all else, and in no way did Kerry appear strong yesterday on security.

Moreover, women like strong, confident men. It's always been so.

Bush = Cowboy.

Take it from there.

[blues_guitarist]

Where's the BARF alert?

[bahblahbah]

Why do we have an article from a male talking about the womens vote? Many of these pundits are just plain stupid.

[RockinRight]

No way. Real women can't stand girly-men.

[BlessedBeGod]

This line from the article says it all about the author:

Of course, I'm guessing, and I have no actual idea whether I'm right.

[commish]

HMMm Looks like Lil Mikey has fallen hook line and sinker for the "Sensitive" metrosexual bullshiite.

YO MIKEY, Real world baby. Pain heals. Chicks dig scars!

Why was it when Kerry was talking, I saw some women in the background giving disgusted looks? They didn't roll their eyes, but one fat woman looked like she could puke.

[KellyAdmirer]

This guy is pretty arrogant to think he knows what mannerisms cause women to vote the way they do. Arrogant fool. Maybe women vote on the, um, issues, bonehead?

[Peach]

Women who were turned off by Bush last night aren't women any more than Kerry, the metrosexual, is a war hero.

Any women turned off by Bush last night are adolescents who buy into the feminization of men that Oprah has been pushing for years.

"As I smelled it, the most important thing that happened in the second presidential debate is that George W. Bush lost a good chunk of the women's vote."

Laughable is correct. The author seems to be simply attempting to push forward what I would describe as "wishful thinking".

[BlessedBeGod]

I am extremely upset over the comment about creating "maternity group homes".

Some women have no place to go when they're pregnant. I know of several Catholic "maternity group homes" where they take pregnant women in and take care of them. It's better than being out on the street or getting an abortion, isn't it?

[linn37]

Its called standing up for yourself,personally I found it very attractive compared to how Kerry acted. Kerry was very whiney with that its just unfair to label people line.

[AlGone2001]

He did not lose the women.

The democrats are not grasping the fact that women are not soccer moms any longer; they are security moms.

They will be for some time to come.

[lady lawyer]

As a group, women are more pro-life than men.

[arasina]

Why do we have an article from a male talking about the womens vote?

The author may have been born male, but he writes like a teenaged girl. His "hunch" is nothing more than wishful thinking. Deep down he surely knows that WOOD beats out PAPER every single time.

[verity]

Is Tomasky queer ot just stupid?

[Lockbar]

I agree with Blues, Please place "Barf alert" in the title of stories with this content.

[Defiant1]

My advice for Michael or is it Michelle would be to cut back on the Estrogen.
