Fact: 54% of voters in the 2004 election were women and thats good news for Hillary Clinton (D-NY). According to various news reports, Clinton employs six full-time staffers specifically for womens outreach -- more than any other candidate -- to reel in the female vote.
For now, Clinton leads Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) in the Democratic race by a 42-23% (according to the latest RCP poll) margin and will likely take the nomination for 2008. She knows how critical that female vote is, which is why she participated in a Women in Public Policy (WIPP) event yesterday. Clinton used the opportunity to tout her freshly unveiled healthcare agenda.

? Putting aside the issue of defamation, how does Sacajaweau's post "exemplify the worst of leftist thinking"? Liberals consider women to be superior to men.
Id be more in favor of a voter competence test. Once a year, a simple current events test. You pass, youre in, you fail, you get 1 or 2 retries, and then its wait until next year.
To me that seems reasonable, and logical, therefore, it will never, ever happen.
And you can’t vote if you’re on welfare.
All the women I know really dislike Hillary.
Doesn’t matter. A pact with the devil cannot be overcome. She’ll win, same way slick won twice.
As far as corrupting the educational system think of who the teachers were. So now we have emotional decision making, socialism, feel good politics all rolled up into one called liberalism. From the Marxists taking over the educational system and women forcing men into their way of thinking we have been on a downward trend and I don’t see the end.
That's why I wonder how she has a chance. No one wants her to be president except the media. Wait! There is one guy I know. But, he only considers it to shake up the country.
They have been reading my posts.....
The winner will be the candidate who promises to alleviate women’s stress. The marketers bombard the airwaves with product messages promising stress relief. The marketers know it is a primary concern of many women.
The camapign manager who best picks up the theme will have a winner.
Stress
What does that have to do with voting?
Note to GOP women: Rudy is a WIMP from Lawn Guyland who has a habit of running off with whatever third-rate trollop catches his eye.
I said that same thing on FR a few years ago and I'm a man. I got a ton of the most scathing replies you could imagine and finally stopped even reading them. My point was, and still is, that if women had not voted in recent elections we would not have had Carter or Clinton as presidents, nor about half of the Democrats who have been in Congress for the last 50 years or more.
I didn't say nor do I believe that women are inferior to men in intelligence or any other category of human ability except possibly sheer physical strength. But I think that any neutral observer of the US political scene would have to admit that women in general are more inclined to vote for liberal or moderate candidates than for hard right conservative candidates, especially if the liberal is a woman, and in general are more willing to give up some degree of personal freedom in exchange for security than the majority of men are.
Anyway, it's interesting to speculate on how much different the US would be today if the 19th Amendment had not been passed by an all-male Congress and ratified by the all-male state legislatures of that era. One thing I believe we could be quite sure of, Hillary would not be our next president and neither would Obama or the Breck Girl.
Physician, heal thyself ;o)
Please link back to even one of those "claims." I believe a normative understanding of what has been written here will show that leftist policies came into ascendancy, not existence, after women's suffrage.
Indeed, "leftist" itself has been a moving target.
Hear, hear!
Oh poop!
