Geraldine Ferraro was on TV this morning analyzing women voters who apparently don't care much about the war on terror because they have to worry about getting to work, making ends meet and being uninsured. Of course, women get scared by events like 9-11 because it won't be safe to get to work on the subway and their kids might get hurt but their main concern is domestic issues. They forget that terror stuff quickly and instead want their sons and husbands home from war.
I swear she really said all that. It's the same hardhitting analysis that carried her and Walter Mondale to a one state minority in 84. Let's simplify and talk down to those feebleminded women voters. I'm offended.

*ducks head*

Well, isn't it true?
Aren't you in the minority, when it comes to women voters?
Remember all the women who would just swoon each time Clinton bit on his lip?

I have never paid any more attention to these alleged electoral trends than necessary to be able to make fun of the people who tout them. To me they're all "flavor of the month."
