Kerry Picks Edwards

[yesthattom]

I'm *totally* in favor of Edwards as VP. However, I think they should have waited for Bush to drop Cheney. Now the Republicans have a much better idea of who to pick to replace Cheney. If they had waited for Cheney's replacement to be named, the Dems would have the ability to modify their search criteria at the last minute.

I think Bush will pick Liddy Dole. That way it will split the women's organizations who would be torn between supporting an anti-choice woman versus a pro-choice male.

I think, frankly, that the only women's organizations who will vote to support Liddy Dole are the conservative, religious women's organizations. Liberal, pro-choice, progressive, etc. women will vote for the candidate who actually supports women's rights, whether that candidate is male or female. I'd love to see a woman in the White House, either as VP or as President, but I wouldn't vote for Liddy Dole for dogcatcher if you paid me.

Your homework is to read up on the battle that resulted in NOW endorsing Whitman for Gov. of New Jersey.

Yeah, well. That's New Jersey. You know what they say about people from New Jersey. :-)

That's governor, though. This is _just_ VP, with an objectionable evangelical lunatic Prez attached.

Yeah. That's a really good place to start. You'd be amazed at the number of middle-american women who would rather support a ticket with a women than worry about the details of the policies those on the ticket will push ...
