On Thursday, Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) took to the floor of the Senate and claimed that carbon dioxide — that naturally occurring gas integral to life on this planet! — “will be over the next 20 years the leading cause of conflict, putting our troops in harm’s way” (transcript and commentary follow): I’m going to put in the record, Madam President, a host of quotes from our national security experts who tell us that carbon pollution leading to climate change will be over the next 20 years the leading cause of conflict, putting our troops in harm’s way. And that’s why….

Washington Post Derides

‘Small-time Agitator’

When’s the last time a journalist referred to Barack Obama as a former “small-time agitator?” That’s exactly how the Washington Post described Republican Nikki Haley in a profile piece on Saturday. A headline for the article by political reporter Philip Rucker critiqued, “Nikki Haley goes from small-time agitator to credible candidate for S.C. governor.” The piece on the conservative politician also offered this back-handed compliment: “Haley is friendly, and funny in a generic way; yet she keeps her politics from becoming too personal.” When describing the state legislator’s crusade to force elected officials to publicly ….

I’d vote for her in a heartbeat.

Women can be completely irrational. They can be overemotional. They can be downright wrong. Women can also be right. A woman can be a leader. She can notice things a man might not. The bottom line is pretty obvious: Women are people, too. We see the world differently than men because we are different and complementary. But we also see the world different from one another, woman to woman. This is the breakthrough we’re seeing in American history right now: It’s becoming next to impossible to successfully deny these realities.

Major RNC donors defect to NRSC

A group of former top donors to the Republican National Committee have written fellow wealthy Republicans advising them to steer their contributions this cycle to the National Republican Senatorial Committee. “After much deliberation, we have decided our focus should be on making gains in the United States Senate,” says their letter, whose signatories include three former RNC finance chairmen. “The best way for us to afect the outcome of these races is by supporting the National Republican Senatorial Committee.” The letter doesn’t mention the RNC directly, but its implication to plugged-in Republican donors is clear….

Democrats Want to

This much we know. Carly Fiorina overcame a competitive field to decisively win the California Republican Senate primary election, earning the right to compete against incumbent Democrat Sen. Barbara Boxer in the November election. (Snip) What is not yet publicly known is the scorched-earth negative campaigns already beginning against both of these Republican women. Hints in recent weeks have made it clear that the Democrats will not only campaign to retain these Senate seats, they will launch an immediate, relentless personal assault designed to destroy both women’s reputations personally and politically.

Which is the racial, profiling party?

The Democratic party’s mantra for choosing candidates seems to be diversity, pluralism and multi culturalism, proudly contrasting themselves to the Republican party which they profile as one whose membership consists of rich, white Christian men. But on Tuesday many of the Republican election winners were women. Yes, most of them were white, most of them were Christian and the two female victors in California, Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina, are very rich. But then there is Nikki Haley from South Carolina. She is a woman, she is an Indian-American (and no, Fox resident liberal, Juan Williams….

When Sarah Palin, in a rambling lakeside announcement last July in Wasilla, said she was quitting as governor of Alaska because of the abuse she and her family were taking from petty politicians and a feral press, she was written off as dead by the pundits. “A quitter, can’t take the heat,” was the Beltway consensus.

Yet, it seems that was no more the end of Sarah than it was the end of Richard Nixon….

2010: the Year of the Conservative Woman?

Original Article

In 1992, when the number of women elected to the U.S. Senate soared from two to six, excited pundits dubbed that four-person breakthrough “The Year of the Woman.” But it was a one-sided wave. Five of the six female senators in the 100-member Senate were liberal, pro-choice Democrats. Conservative women had long been active in Republican politics, of course, but rarely as officeholders. In those days, conservatism and feminism didn’t mix, at least not easily. This season’s primary elections suggest that 2010 may become the Year of the Conservative Woman.

Sarah Palin had a pretty good Super Tuesday. Three of the four candidates she endorsed won, bringing her record in tightly contested races to 8-3 overall this midterm election year. Earlier in the day, TIME asked Palin how she makes her endorsement decisions. “Oftentimes I’m looking at the candidate who shares the circumstances in which I’ve been: underfunded, up against the machine, no big endorsements, running a grassroots campaign with the help of volunteer friends and family,” Palin told TIME.

In primaries, female candidates
didn’t make gender an issue

With victories by several prominent women in Tuesday’s primary elections came the familiar declarations that a “year of the woman” is underway. But in at least five races, something even more remarkable occurred: The candidates’ gender never became much of an issue. Tuesday’s elections put on display the increasing diversity of female candidates, as well as their growing resilience. They were for abortion rights and against them, old and young, part of the political establishment and new to it. Their male opponents attacked them — relentlessly, in some cases….
