Problems: Liberal women will not give up their right to abortion. Women are going after degrees and male jobs. Obama will capture inner city and the youth vote. Republicans are still tied to Bush2 whether they like it or not and most will not examine the role Democrats have played in earmarks, debt and policy,etc. The Democrats I have known have had nothing to do with public education after a few years- minus a couple of exceptions. They talk the talk.//Obama is a perfect figure for women to stick it to white male dominance/patriacrchy.
