I wonder about women who would give up their right to vote so that other women wouldn't have it. I think that's bizarre, frankly.

Yes, I wish some women paid more attention to what they were doing when they go into a voting booth - but I feel the same way about men, because I know a few of them who are just as influenced by the image a candidate projects, and the image of a candidate that the media puts forth.

Example: I know a very intelligent man who works at Microsoft who is not necessarily liberal, but who has completely bought the idea that President Bush is stupid. He doesn't like the way the president talks. He is surrounded by conservative friends and coworkers, but apparently the mainstream media has succeeded in convincing this guy that President Bush is an idiot.

So what do we do with that guy? Deny his right to vote? No, we can't do THAT - he is anatomically correct!

This "repeal the 19th amendment!" crowd really bugs me. Stupidity is not a gender-specific problem.

More women, than men vote Dem. That says quite a bit.

Don't question MY intellect nor opinion about this one;it is something carefully and logically thought out. :-)
