Is this going to be the year of the woman voter??

I am not real optimistic that Mark Udall will win his race in Colorado. The voters don't seem to have a lot of enthusiasm for him. His opponent is doing a very good job at persuading the voters that he is not a right-wing whack job.

However, the women candidates in Wisconsin and Kentucky have very enthusiastic crowds and the voters are very interested in what they are saying. I have a hunch that women voters will have a say in this election unlike any we have seen in the past.

The Repub candidate for Governor here in Maryland is making this race close in a very blue state. The Democratic candidate, Brown, is calling him out on reproductive rights issues. The women I know are motivated to vote for Brown. If they do, he wins.

A few elections ago. So it is not a total shock if Harris were to win, but I doubt he will. I hope they are done with the casinos now. We have enough. I was not really in favor of them to begin with but Governor O'Malley thought they would be good for our state.
