Will Gender Reemerge? [View all]
Watching the endo of the year wrap ups and projections of the future race, I cannot help remembering how this cycle started. There was at the start after the Women's March and the number of strong women elected in 2018 the thought that of course the nominee would be a woman.
As the summer went on you could feel that dynamic still there, but it is greatly diminished as the fall went on and the hopes invested in two candidates faded out to a large extent. But I would argue it is still there and may yet reshape the race.
But, we are now down to it and it is likely that only one of our female candidates will survive Iowa. It is of course possible that neither will but if one does that really could reshape the race. A Warren rebound or a Klobuchar surge reflected in the Iowa outcome could have a bigger impact then is currently expected.
The main connective tissue of the democratic coalition is female. And that can still come into play in ways that right now are hard to see.
No votes have been counted yet, and while the race looks static it is not and wont be until that event happens.
If I were to vote in a presidentialprimary today, I would vote for: Undecided
