After all, Nancy is a Womyn. The DIMs can now try n' be the Wimmynz Party™. Nancy can say and do whatever she pleases, - 'cause no one will DARE come down hard on a Womyn. Even though we're all now enlightened and non-sexist, it will still be "unseemly" to question a womyn (or "violate her space" or point a finger, or...or...or).
After 100 kazillion years of Male Oppression, it's time for All Womyn to have it Both Ways. And the lamestream media will do all the advance work and block n'tackle for her.
It will work beautifully...right up until the '04 elections. Then, the DIMs will have to go into high spin once more. Perhaps replace her with a more fitting representative.
Like a brain-dead quadraplegic.
I don't think so. The rest of the nation has long ago moved beyond the "Battle of the Sexes". At least those in the majority have (the Republicans, that is, he he).
That kind of feminist appeal will have the same urgency as Black appeal will from Al Sharpton.
