Women count more than NASCAR dads
By Thomas Oliphant, Globe Columnist August 10, 2004

WASHINGTON
FOR POSSIBLY the most politically important but least understood collection of people in the country this year, there is no honey-do list every day because there is no honey.

In some truly ground-breaking research, consultant and activist Page Gardner came up with the above observation, as well as what ought to become a fresh term of reference in politics -- women on their own.

If John Kerry would kindly remind the public once in a while that he favors a $7-an-hour minimum wage, he would be talking directly to them. The issue of income, says Gardner, is "simply huge."

And why not? Half of all the women in this country who are not married scrape by on 30 grand a year or less.
