66. try it with women
I might be stepping on thin ice, but the whole women voting thing..


is making me nervous.

It's getting way more attention than I like and the issue
being raised does serve the purposes of George Bush.

Frankly, I am male. I've got some female friends and family.
I am certainly pro women and if a woman wants to have a little job outside of the home, for pin money, I am all for it.

However, this is going to be a liability for our candidate.

Bushco. wants to fan the flames.

So here is where I am going to piss some people off:

I wish the women would keep a lid on it and stop waving their
banner for the moment. Rosie advocating voting for women on TV is great but it's not great this year.

I disagree where Kerry and Edwards are on this issue. They are
waffling. It makes them look bad. However, a more principled
position will only help solidify the opposition. It's a lose lose
for us.

Am I wrong to wish all those suffragettes would not be
on TV?
