I’d like to see a Democratic woman run for the Senate seat that Chris Matthews wants
))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Frankly, I wouldn’t care if it was a Democrat, Republican, Independent, whatever to get the Senate seat that Chris Matthews wants. Just to see him lose is enough satisfaction. That guy does need to go!

Anna Belle – Thanks for putting the info about Maloney’s book in the comments – I hope the poster will change it, and link to Maloney’s site, where more can be read about the author and her groundbreaking work.

Also, I was the one that coined the term “The 30% Solution.” I posted about it at the New Agenda.

http://thenewagenda.net/2008/0.....-solution/

My source was Maloney’s book, in which she covers an entire range of issues regarding women and the advances they have made, and still need to make, in America. However, one of the things that really struck me was how there was a critical mass of women that simply had to be reached in government before any attention would be paid to our needs and issues.

A concrete goal is something the womens’ movement has been lacking for a long time. The idea of 30% MINIMUM representation seems like something we can all work towards.

I have to quit reading this stuff tonight or I’ll never get to sleep. What is this guy’s problem? The last couple of sentences really hacked me off! This contains not only sexism, but elitism is running rampant. As a person who was born in a rural town in Texas, yes we sound different and speak differently than Ivy League educated New Englanders. But it doesn’t mean we are stupid. When I used to travel to LA for business people would actually speak louder and more slowly to me after they heard my accent as if somehow that meant I was a little slow. Come on!
This reminds me of an old joke…

A woman from Texas and a woman from New York were seated side by side on a plane.

The woman from the South, having been taught to be friendly and all, said, “So, where ya’ll from?”

The Northern woman said, “From a place where they know better than to use a preposition at the end of a sentence.”

The woman from the South sat quietly for a few moments and then replied, “So, where ya’ll from, b**ch?”

No offense to you Northern ladies!

Irene,

I invite you to click on our “Media” section – look at all the press we have received from major newspapers – and check if you can find even ONE story in the NYT!

Dick Cavett is looking down his nose at Governor Palin again, and the comments sections at the NY Times is rooting and snooting along. Cavett’s especially loathsome bit was, “May I confess that upon first seeing her, I liked her looks? With the sound off, she presents a not uncomely frontal appearance.”
