Women are the key. I find it galling that Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, is helping to defeat my senator from Missouri. Over the last decade the women of the Senate, currently only 13 out of the 100, agreed that regardless of party they would never work against one of their female colleagues in an election-- sort of a female bonding pact. And now this. Maybe the pact is over, I don't know the intricacies. I just find it sad.
Anyway, yes, the key to Senator Carnahan's re-election rests on the shoulders of women and minorities in the state, especially a certain gay man in Columbia who still hasn't registered to vote. D'oh!
