It is an interesting perspective for sure.Though, I do not think that her "study" of what sways women's vote's was very broad. It is an easy assumption to make that most women read People magazine and get all their Political information from their male counterparts. But it is as holy as Swiss cheese, you will be able to find any given stereotype if you search for it. There is a plethora of independent women who have minds of their own, are involved in politics, and will make educated decisions either for or against Hilary in the election. It is like any piece of information from the media, you have to do your own investigation to come to a real conclusion of reality and fiction.
Jillian - you should 'sample' your peers and see how that stands up to the article.
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

Oh god, ouch! Traitorous bitch.My own theory is that women don't decide elections because they're not rational political actors -- they don't make firm policy commitments and back the candidates who will move society in the direction they want it to go.
I think most voters vote this way. Every Presidential election, every candidate, most laypeople talk about his charistma and whether they'd like to have a beer with him. Few people actually examine and compare things like voting records.Instead, they vote on impulse, and on elusive factors such as personality.
I've been hearing a sort of lip-service to doing so with Hillary - people talking about not voting for her just because she's woman and making sure she's really the best candidate. And then the conversation turns to Obama and how well dressed and photogenic he is.
Hillary's got some time to get her personality out there, but she'd better get on it if she wants to keep her lead.
As far as feminist causes, she has issues on her radar I don't think any other candidate ever has. I don't know if that's going to help her or hurt her. She's being awfully quiet about it so far.

nyuck! she gits her pariod she's a gone hit da nucular button!
GWB was "the guy you wanted to have a beer with," and Reagan was the "father figure," but conservatives and republicans don't base their votes on emotions or feelings. No sir.
And btw, are you capable of having a discussion without making it about the blue team vs the red team?
