How exactly is the blue dress relevant to this presidential election?

Courtesy of Shakesville, I found an absolutely disgusting story on ABC News today:

LOL of the day: a resume full of “hopes and plans”

Letter to the Editor from the Journal Times of Racine, Wisconsin:
I agree with Kim Morrison that Barack Obama would be a great president. I have hope that he can provide free health insurance for everyone.
I have hope that he can bring our soldiers home and make the world a safer place. I have hope that […]

The usual bullshit: sexism in the media and Hillary Clinton

Sexism in media is kind of a big topic. A lot of people research it for a living, and quite a few people have gone to painstaking efforts to observe the sexism that is occurring in the Democratic presidential election and all the publicity that surrounds it. Feministing even has an entire section devoted […]

Dear Barack Obama: Change your attitude about women before you try to change our country.

From Alternet/Huffington Post:
Obama, grave-faced and sympathetic in tone, opined that when Senator Clinton was ‘feeling down,’ she went on the attack to make herself feel better; that is, she committed an error in judgment because she was in a bad mood. That was the moment when I, and other women of a certain age, all […]

Why I can’t get behind Barack Obama

It took me a little longer than Cate, but I was finally able to articulate in a coherent manner why I can’t support Barack Obama.
I’ve been feeling a lot of unwarranted political pressure in my office and my life lately. Everyone but myself in the office supports Barack Obama, and while a few people […]

I think congratulations are in order…

A huge congratulations to Clinton for being the first woman in history to win a primary for a major political party!
This is a gigantic leap for women and I hope it is only a preview of the steps women will be taking in the future.

The #1 reason to hate Huckabee

When talking about doctors giving women abortions and holding the doctors - but not the women - accountable when (not if) he makes abortion illegal and shoves women back into their barefoot and pregnant lifestyles, my least favorite person said the following of the woman seeking an abortion:
I consider her a victim, not a criminal.
