Professional Women: Palin Is An Insult
The women who like Palin would have voted Republican anyway. Can McCain reach past that base and convince other women that Palin was a good choice? It's not about 'a woman' -- it's about women's issues.

Rejecting Sarah Palin could be the beginning of a renewed women's movement, a movement of content and boundaries, that uses its electoral power to achieve its ends.

Clinton supporters are skeptical about your nomination, Sarah, and I've talked to others who are insulted. You see, they didn't support Senator Clinton because she was a woman but because she was their advocate.

Obama gave a huge metaphorical hug to American women in general and moms in particular. I'll admit I actually teared up when he said that the day she died was the worst of his life.

The truth is that getting women to buy a book or bundt cake is one thing. Getting them to completely change their emotional allegiance is another.

As I was pondering why there is still so much coverage of the so-called reluctance of "older" Hillary supporters to become enthusiastic about Obama, I had one of those light-bulb, Oprah AHA! moments.

Though the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution giving women the right to vote was not ratified until 1920, women in Colorado had earned the right to vote before this time.

One of the groups that will be a deciding factor in the selection of the next president, is women... who comprise more than half of the United States electorate.

Obama should not choose Kaine because he opposes a woman's most fundamental human right to decide her own destiny by making her own childbearing decisions.

The media hasn't bothered assessing the exit polling from the primaries that they paid for to determine whether McCain was actually excelling with this group.

Women are far more pessimistic than men in their attitudes about the status quo. Whether it is the price of food and fuel or disparities in the workplace, they feel the impact more than their male counterparts.

I'll be surprised if McCain doesn't pick a woman. I've long speculated before that such a move would make good sense as McCain seeks to appeal to swing voters.

If the media, which remains ga-ga over McCain would do some research (God forbid), they'd find other very disturbing examples of McCain not having a clue where he stands on similar issues.

Obama is walking a dangerous road -- especially with women Democratic voters -- by saying things about reproductive rights that make him look more Republican than John McCain.

Obama may have the clear advantage with the mother vote on the image, talk and policy fronts, but McCain has shown lately that he isn't willing to let the mom vote go without a fight.

If Chris Matthews and the mainstream media want to add something productive to the reproductive rights debate, they should move off the 70's polarization created by the far-right.

I have a piece of advice for Obama -- stop worrying about whether Michelle is softer or gentler. Don't play into the smear agenda. Let Michelle be herself and turn the GOP's strategy against itself.

Obama should surf the present swell of interest in women's rights created by Clinton's endorsement of his candidacy to reinforce his commitment to ending gender discrimination.
