I m not going to appoint my unelected wife as national Health Czar. But presumably these traits would be of equal interest to male voters. George W. knew and supplied the answer. Personally, I take a much tougher line on whether or not the candidate remembers his wedding anniversary. In some ways, I suppose, we should be flattered by all this attention from the candidates.
More women now vote than men.
Winning the female vote matters more today than it has possibly in any election in American history. And as a result, the campaign for the presidency resembles not so much a run for high office as it does a contest between two suitors competing for the same woman s hand in marriage. Our wishes, our daily cares, and our slightest changes in mood are measured by pollsters and worked into speeches by wily political consultants who play Cyrano to our dumbstruck political candidates. One day it might be a cleaner environment. The next day, cheaper prescription drugs.
