People's view of the 'slick politicians' tends to be male and not female. Views have changed enough to let women be part of the gang, but not the leader of the pack, Stabenow said. Today voters are looking for women to be team players and raise sensitive issues in Congress, she said. Republicans are putting their female lawmakers and candidates in the spotlight this fall, courting a historically Democratic female voting block. Women look at things differently than men, and to have the female perspective represented is always a good thing.
Women really are there for other women.
