BAM: OUR 1ST WOMAN PREZ?

Yet it's not only Obama's policies and strategies that appeal to women. He is like a woman: slim, good looking, with long elegant fingers, appealingly dressed - all terms more typically ascribed to female candidates.

Women are gravitating to Obama out of a different urge - the desire to invite him to our book club, join him for coffee or have him coach our child's soccer team. He embodies many of the positive characteristics we tend to regard as feminine: sensitive and empathetic, seeking to find common ground and minimize conflict, not taking power for granted. We've yet to catch Obama beating up an opponent.

Androgyny has long had its place in popular culture - in fashion, in rock (from Jagger and Bowie to The Strokes), even in sports (Tom Brady's cologne ad in Sports Illustrated). Now it has a growing value in politics, as female participation rises. (Census data show that women have voted at ever-higher rates than men in every election since 1980.)

2. They've not come a long way since the famous front page headline:

"Headless Body in Topless Bar" about a murder scene. In fact, that was the peak of their existence.

4. I think they had a resurgence recently,

what with the "Ike Beats Tina To Death" headline.

3. I think the media in general is already setting

the stage for the general election to say the republican candidate will be tougher on terrorism, etc., than our candidate. The "tough" BS worked the last two elections, why stop now... It makes me sick how our media shapes the news rather than reporting it.

5. What a load of crap. Even Drudge doesn't go that low.

To see it in the NY Times is disgusting. I'm not a big O fan but this is worse than the Coultergise.

8. No, that wasn't in the NY Times. The NY POST. BIG BIG BIG difference. NT

[Thrill]
