Women's voice- on being in touch with the feminine

It's interesting to note the vitality that is brought to the American election campaign. We can barely tolerate more than 6 weeks of campaigning, and here they are going at it (now) for well over eighteen months.

In the latest  entry in the Washington Post's  campaign diary Michelle Obama says of and to women:

"We're going to decide the outcome of this race. Whether the bad guys or the good guys win, it's going to be up to us."

Fifty-four percent of voters in 2004 were women, said Obama, who predicted the figure will be higher this year.

Obama has emerged as the most prominent voice on women's issues in Sen. Barack Obama's campaign. She told stories about women she had met while campaigning and described a series of policies that she said would help working women and families.

This is an interesting idea: when we look at the politicking it seems to be all about men. But if Mrs Obama is right then the voting is all about women. Politicking and Voting are not the same thing.

And if she is right, and I suspect in my gut that she is...then Obama seems a shoe in.

Not (only) because he is stunningly handsome, or because McCain is a hobbit of a man...but because women have a different understanding about the need to move and change, they are also decidedly more peace loving and war hating. On the whole I like their thinking more than men's
