All it said was "Do they think we are that damn dumb to vote for any woman??"

I don't think this will get them any votes.

3. Yes, they do think we're that dumb - and don't forget it!
That's what they think of women. Let them think what they will, the votes will speak for themselves.

They bank on that stuff. I don't think it will work this year. Things are too bad for that to work.

5. It may very well lose them votes.
It is, frankly, condescending and insulting to women.

7. They think we are that damn dumb
b/c most REPUBLICAN men are dumb enough to just vote for the guy, so why shouldn't it work both ways?


You are talking about a political movement build on the assumption that it's base is stupid.

8. I think this might even TURN OFF
more moderate conservative women voters. They're smart enough to smell the pander and be insulted by it.

One of the most FUCKING CYNICAL moves in recent political history for sure.

But what do you expect from the new Rovian school of politics.

9. Agreed. If McCain really wanted to win the women's vote, he should've picked Quayle.
He's so Redford-like, the ladies would swoon as they voted.
