1. The NASCAR Dad crap is being developed for only one purpose -

and that is to beat up on women and women voters. It says that their days as a powerful force in elections has ended. Goodbye, soccer moms; farewell. NOW members, the real men are back in charge of this country's future! YOU DON'T COUNT!

Pathetic.

Bottom line - NASCAR dads don't vote to begin with, and the few who do are already safely in bush's corner.

It's amazing that the media spends 99% of its time manufacturing *news* like this rather than covering the actual news. And isn't it simply amazing that all of the talk of NASCAR Dads happens to coincide with the big race today? God! It's worse than those cheesy tie-ins networks do when one of their sister companies releases some dopey movie (who can forget all the real-news hoopla like "Are YOU Sleeping With The Enemy" when that stinker was released?). You can just see the synergy marketing department at NBC -"make sure Russert mentions NASCAR Dads on MTP...then roll the 60-second spot for Daytona at the next commercial break."

It's as sickening as it is transparent.
