"GOP women a rising force in the party; Most ever now seeking office" by Susan Milligan, Globe Staff | June 13, 2010
WASHINGTON — A record number of Republican women are running for federal and statewide offices this year, encouraged by GOP recruiting organizations, the high-profile candidacy of Sarah Palin in 2008, and voters who see the women as natural agents of change, according to political analysts and officials.
We just put a black guy into the White House and got WORSE CHANGE if any at all.
Nothing I like better than the MSM pushing a conventional PoS and calling it news.
Such an influx is expected to have significant implications for the image of the Republican Party, which has long been seen as a party dominated by white men. As the number of female voters continues to rise, more diverse tickets would broaden the appeal of the party, especially with independent voters who could be critical in several fall midterm races, said Jan Larimer, co-chairwoman of the Republican National Committee....
I'm not interested in either party because both have failed.
ALL INCUMBENTS OUT and THIRD PARTY whenever possible!
The Democratic Party, tapping into the feminist and abortion rights movements for support, has traditionally offered the vast majority of female candidates. But that dominance has changed.

Ever notice that the pro-woman's rights, pro-abortion newspaper defines women by their stand on abortion?
It's as if no other issue matters to women, or are not nearly as important.
Is that truly the way all women think in AmeriKa?
I don't think it is.
Women have a lot of other problems and concerns other than abortion -- one being if they have any insurance at all.
This year, 201 GOP women are running for the US Senate, US House, and statewide offices, more than in any other year, according to Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Women and Politics, a nonpartisan organization at Rutgers University.
ALL BOUGHT by the $ame intere$t$.
Of that group, a record 140 Republican women have filed to run for the US House and Senate, almost twice the number who ran in 2008 and well over the 102 who sought those offices in 1994, the previous record.
When the Democrats lost 52 House seats and 8 Senate seats.
Looking at an EVEN WORSE OUTCOME in November!
“They have walked through the door that feminists felt they opened for all women running, so that opportunity is there,’’ said Marjorie Dannenfelser, chairwoman of the Susan B. Anthony List, which funds antiabortion female candidates. “The opportunity is there, and the backing is there.’’
It wasn't supposed to be opened for them, and we know where the backing comes from.
That opportunity and support were transformed into election night success this past week. Primary wins Tuesday by GOP Senate candidates Carly Fiorina in California and Sharron Angle in Nevada and strong gubernatorial showings by Meg Whitman in California and Nikki Haley in South Carolina help illustrate, perhaps, a new profile of the Grand Old Party.
That is certainly true, in a physical sort of way.

Tea Party Takes Angle on Harry Reid
Not much seems different when it comes to the politics.
Those successes might be only the beginning, some in the party say. They point to the campaigns of Jane Norton, who is locked in a tight battle in Colorado for the Senate nomination, and Linda McMahon, who is expected to sew up the Senate nomination in Connecticut in August.

Connecticut voters are going to dig him up:
"Blumenthal apparently has weathered charges that he exaggerated his military service in Vietnam for years and is running as strongly as ever against both his Republican challengers in Connecticut’s race for the U.S. Senate. A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Connecticut finds Blumenthal with 56% support versus 33% for Linda McMahon, the officially endorsed GOP candidate. "
So Connecticut will have two lyin' Zionist senators, huh?
There are several reasons for the emergence of women across the GOP field, analysts say.
The rise of the Tea Party movement has boosted some of the women, who tend to be more conservative than previous female candidates, Walsh said.
Like America, sorry to say it, liberals.
Hey, I used to think the way you do; however, now I understand why I never connected with my fellow citizens.
They simply do not think like you do, liberals.
Also, female candidates are often seen by voters in both parties as agents of change just by virtue of their gender, she added, since they are still something of a novelty in many parts of the country.
Yes, CONFER a POSITION on someone even if they DO NOT DESERVE IT simply because of their gender (or race)!
Yes, the POLITICALLY FOOLEY of AmeriKan POLITICS!
And the vice presidential run by former Alaska governor Palin has energized many women in the GOP, much as 1984 vice presidential nominee Geraldine Ferraro did for Democratic women, analysts and lawmakers said.
“Regardless of whether you like Sarah Palin or not, having a female on the presidential ticket inspired people,’’ said Representative Jo Ann Emerson, a moderate Republican from Missouri. “She was a governor and has five children, one with special needs. Women think, ‘If she can juggle all of that, I bet I can.’ ’’

Palin's co-opting of the Tea Party, 'eh?
Walsh also credits the maturation and broadening of the women’s movement. While more established women’s groups, such as EMILY’s List and the National Organization for Women, tended to support liberal Democratic women, organizations such as the Susan B. Anthony List — which expects to contribute between $10 and $12 million to female candidates this year — and WUFPAC (Women Under Forty PAC) have emerged to help GOP women prepare for their campaigns.
Democrats are still in the majority among major female officeholders and candidates; of the 73 female US representatives, 56 are Democrats, and of the 17 women in the US Senate, 13 are Democrats. Massachusetts has only one woman, Niki Tsongas, in its 10-member, all-Democratic House delegation, and both senators are men.

Are they?
But the landscape is shifting....
The success of women across the political field mirrors gains in other areas, Larimer noted, with more women running small businesses and major corporations. Women are also a majority of voters; nearly 10 million more women than men voted in 2008, according to the Center for American Women and Politics.
More women than men tend to vote Democratic in general elections. According to national exit polls, 56 percent of women voted for Barack Obama in 2008, compared with 43 percent who voted for McCain. Among men, 49 percent voted for Obama, and 48 percent for McCain. But as more conservative women emerge in the business and political worlds, they can attract female voters and inspire more GOP women to run, analysts said....
How can you trust exit polls after 2004?
Should they win nomination, however, the more conservative women may have a harder time in the general elections, said Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILY’s List.

In a Globe's eye!!!
Fiorina, for example, opposes abortion, which could alienate pivotal voters in California, Schriock said.
See?
To be a woman is to abort.
And Angle, who advocates abolishing the Department of Education and storing nuclear waste at Nevada’s Yucca Mountain, may also lose independent voters in her bid to unseat Senate majority leader Harry Reid, she said.
Some Democrats agree the rise of women in the GOP could soften its image as a male-dominated party, but that won’t necessarily change the math in November.
Yeah, KEEP ON DELUDING YOURSELVES Democrats!
Are YOU EVER IN for a RUDE AWAKENING come November!
“The Republican Party’s got to change its image from being right-wing extremists, period.... a lot of these women candidates are not in the mainstream of the Republican Party.’’
Nice, tolerant, open-minded Democrat.
Have you seen your job approval ratings lately?
Larimer, however, said her party’s candidates would strengthen the GOP’s numbers this fall. “We have women with real-world experience,’’ she said. “We just think we’re going to have great results in November.’’
I think so, too, but not for the reasons that you think.
I also think it hardly matters.
If the parties switch sides they just switch roles and the "change" fooleys continue for the public.
As for Sweet Sarah....
"Palin’s endorsements turn off some backers
Yeah, I'm also turned off the minute she opens her mouth.
Because of some surprising endorsements in recent Republican primaries, Sarah Palin has reaped an angry response from some of her own supporters and a fresh round of speculation about her own presidential ambitions in 2012.
That would be the TRUE "TEA-BAG" PATRIOTS who CARE about this country!
“Man, what a terrible choice in Iowa, Sarah,’’ Meghan Swella wrote on Palin’s Facebook wall after the former Alaska governor announced her support for Terry Branstad in last week’s gubernatorial primary.
“I guess you got co-oped [sic] by the milk toast [sic] moderates. I thought you were better than that,’’ she scolded.
In choosing Branstad, Palin skipped over businessman Bob Vander Plaats, a Tea Party favorite, in favor of a former governor with a strong chance of returning to office — and wielding political power when the Iowa presidential caucuses roll around....
She isn't getting my vote, although with Obama's recent statements he's not a slam-dunk anymore.
Palin also backed former
For some conservatives, that’s also a problem. Shelby Blakely, executive director of the Tea Party Patriots’ online publication, New Patriot Journal, said Palin’s endorsement has become “so undependable, it’s marginalized itself.’’
Just like herself! NO ONE is taking her SERIOUSLY you know.
While she once thought highly of Palin, Blakely said that during the past two years the “Going Rogue’’ author has gone more establishment, and she called Palin’s failure to criticize her own party’s establishment bothersome.
As expected.
No one is elected to office without passing the Lobby's Litmus Test.
How do you think their current House slave got there?

She said communities can do things such as offer free museum passes, discounts, and care packages for troops. Obama has made improving the quality of life for military families one of her top priorities.
Yeah, just take LESS PAY so some cost-overrunning weapons system manufactured by war-profiteering looters can be funded.
