Red neck housewives and Hillary.
Advertisements [?]
This post is based on observations in my workplace. I have not yet, nor will I choose a Democratic primary contender until 2008. until then I will be impartial to all Primary candidates whether I like them or not.

In my line of work, you will run into alot of good ole boys. They are not bad guys. I think of them as accidental Republic Party members. They all voted
for * and they all are now regretting it. Still a vote for Kerry in 2004 even if they knew then what they know now is unthinkable. He was viewed as a weak
man. Not a weak Candidate mind you, but a weak man. It really is a forgive them for they know not what they have done situation. They just don't want
to pay attention to the real debates. Echo chamber sound bytes work very well on these guys. However, it looks like Karma will catch up to them, and it won't be pretty.

Many of these guys are just astounded at the fact that their wives want Hillary. These bucolic stay at home moms who have watched their rights fade away in the name of tax cuts and war. Maybe it is a good thing that Hill is looked at as a shrew from the right (and by some on the left). It gives her a tough persona in the eyes of the Rethug proletariat. Remember * got elected on balls not brains, and Hillary has plenty of both.

So please tell me if you have witnessed anything similar to this. Am I seeing an insulated case or could this be considered a ground swell for a female candidate, not necessarily Hillary , but a woman.
