Being honest... if McCain picks a female running mate, it's going to be a tough call for me. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Want dds to have the example that women can reach the highest positions. And even if it's a Republican (I have always voted Dem), this kind of thing matters. A lot. [ Reply | More

Honestly--if they have unrestricted access to power and career success, they will probably not live anywhere near where abortion is restricted, even if Roe v Wade is overturned. [ Reply | More

I get your sentiment but I think country first in this case. We are SO FAR IN THE SHITTER at this point we can't afford another round of GOP> No matter how close we came as women. [ Reply | More

We have a female speaker of the house, 16 female senators, plenty of house members, 8 governors. Tons of women in high positions in politics. [ Reply | More

I know. I'm looking for any reason to like him right now - or to make voting for a Republican feel morally responsible. Still mourning Hillary and just can't fall for Obama though I would like to. [ Reply | More

Wow--I have to say that most of these responses strike me as anti-feminist. The important thing is not the gender of the candidate, but rather the gender of the politics, if you will. McCain is as anti-woman a candidate as you could ask for no matter who his running mate is. [ Reply | More

I think it's THAT position that is anti-feminist. We had two great candidates with two great stands on the issues. One was a woman, and more experienced. The less experienced MAN won. [ Reply | More

Obama himself should come out and make a statement about the treatment of Hillary. Her supporters need to hear that. It's weak that he hasn't and increases my sense that he somewhere inside himself knows that he profited from it. He's weak anyway. His record shows that he does not stand up for tough positions when it counts. It's extremely easy to be for "change" right now. At least McCain has the guts to speak out on things. As far as Roe v Wade, I do not believe that women will be in a situation where they cannot get an abortion. [ Reply | More

Many women are already in a situation where they cannot get a legal abortion. If you have money, obtaining an abortion will always be possible (even if it means travelling to the UK), but in much of the US, it's already extremely difficult. [ Reply | More

Why on earth would Obama make a statement about that? Primaries are over, he is running against McCain. And he attacked Hillary less than she attacked him, as we will be reminded soon since GOP is harvesting all of her soundbytes for general election use. [ Reply | More
