I think it's more than "Ladies Night". Perhaps hopefully people are realizing that women can do well as politicians and that it's not all "penis power".

I think it means money buys elections. Here in CA both Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina are multi-million/billionaires and spent their own money (millions for both) in the primarys.
Meg Whitman started today with her new campaign ads. Fiorina should be starting soon. You know Fiorina has a mansion in CA, one in DC and owns 2 yachts. That is how much money she got for shipping jobs overseas and running HP into the ground. Whitman cut a shit pile of jobs at EBay while she drew a salary of millions. And neither of these two women have ever consistently voted. I'm not sure if they even have voted more than 5 times in their entire lives. I am truly not impressed with either of these idiots......money buys anything........ (and I'm not even gonna get started on how stupid the people in CA are based on the Propositions on the Ballot that passed...........idiots everywhere..........

i think the CA voters did OK three out of five. The earthquake improvement exemption from Property Tax seems like a good idea, and they turned down the efforts by PG&E and the insurance company to feather their own nests.
i am not for open primaries in this political climate, but we had them in Michigan, and only rarely did the Republicans vote for a weak Democrat in order to prevent a strong one from opposing their sure thing. Proposition 15 seemed like a good idea. Too bad re that. |

One of the first things she said was that she would spend $50 million of her own money on the race. She's a nightmare, and she could win. Money talks (and buys a lot of air time). |

If this had been in effect now, my guess is that we would have a Whitman vs. Poizner election in November. My problem with party primaries is that as one that registers as Decline to state, can't vote in the primary. I just cannot be registered in any political party. I especially have had it with the 2 major ones. |
