This writer is a fool, well he's probably a liberal after all. This is just lib spin to cover up for the fact that Kerry got pounded last night. Women, in this election, want a strong leader who will keep the country safe. Kerry has never projected an image of strength during his entire political career. Oh, but he has a plan(s) for everything doesn't he? Of course he never provides the details, simply because he has nothing to offer, but we're all supposed to believe he has the right intentions. What a joke this guy is?

Jealousy is unattractive, Michael.

If you take away black women, who appear to vote more based on their race

So do hispanic women and asian women and every other category of women except white women. Odd that he would put this line in there, though. Some progress is being made.

It was witnessing this moment that made me start to think about women viewers.

HA! This particular woman yelled "GO W!" so loud at that point in the debate that I nearly woke up my kids!

Women want to see a man in the White House, not a manscape!

I am extremely upset over the comment about creating "maternity group homes". I do not want women to return to 1950. This may change my vote entirely. I cannot support anyone who seeks to reverse women's rights and that is what I heard President Bush saying last night. Tell me I'm wrong.

Your vote is so easily turned by giving women another alternative to abortion?? That tactic may work over on DU where the mere mention of 'women's rights' sends the girly men over there cowering in the corner and apologizing for being men. We ain't buying it here!

I'll bet you're one of those 'undecided' voters, right?

Kerry was terrific. Far better, by my lights, than he was in the first debate.

I believe everything this guys says now.

Actually, women in "focus groups" really preferred Bush over Kerry last night, and in lopsided majorities.

You'll be glad, I hope, to know that there are still maternity homes out there. There is one in my neighborhood and its a wonderful place, serving women in difficult situations...women who chose not to resort to Planned Parenthood.

I wish there were more places like this. For every community that has a Planned Parenthood (or any other human abbetoir) there should be a maternity home. Wouldn't that be giving women a real choice?

Over 70% of women think abortion is wrong so I guess any of those 70% of women who vote for Kerry have no real moral fiber.

I'm a woman, and if I had any doubts about Bush they're gone now. Any points Kerry gained last week are gone now too. Women like strong decisive men who are going to provide a safe country in which they can raise their children without fear. Our children's future is what we think about. And there was no doubt who the man was last night. I like the idea about maternity homes for those who don't want abortion but feel they have no choice. i do not believe that abortion will ever cease being an option, so I see no taking away of womens rights. That's nonsense. It would never pass. Group homes and easier adoption processes gives women more choices, and therefore more freedom, not less.

There were some pundits that said that he will impress men with that tactic. But little said anything about women. My wife who is a big undecided was put off by the tactic, but overall thought the President did MUCH better than he did a week ago. She may look past that episode due to the Presidents overall performance. But if he had performed like he did last week, then it likely would have been a defining moment.

Too bad the troll got the zot before I could point out that maternity homes make it easier for women to make the RIGHT choice.

You turn a phrase, into a reversal of womyn's rights dating back a half century? Your vote can turn because you prefer Bush speak in politically correct semantic masturbatory tones? Please. It's not turning back rights, don't take his suggestion out of context, it's actually something that could work well in certain contexts. Go back to your Mary Daly book.

He 'wishes'! What an obnoxious piece this is! And I absolutely LOVED the way Bush didn't let Gibson brush him off without giving him a chance to rebut kerry. *One* of the crowning moments of last night's debate! SCORE one for the President.

You realize that jellybean was quoting a pro-abortion troll, don't you? Jelly bean didn't originally post that snip, carolinian did.

Go back to your Mary Daly book.

I see grellis has already pointed out I was quoting Carolinian, so I won't add to your emabarassment (he he), but who the heck is Mary Daly???

I for one actually like a real man and I love swagger...the more Bush pulls it out, the more it hits me at every level...Kerry is a pu*** and that is a way bigger turn off than some good old-fashioned cowboy swagger
