I'd like to hear from the so-called "security moms" now

How do you feel about "abusive ex as president"??????

What a frightening performance by Bush tonight, from his hectoring of the audience to his near-assault on Charles Gibson.

This man is going to steer America safely through a dangerous world? I don't think so.

He's like a road-rage-prone husband at the wheel, stopping the car and picking fights at every stoplight.

Also - the "Send us your story" feature lets you submit your own words about being a security mom for Kerry (and a pic of your child if you like) to be added to the web site.

it made him seem; that schwing voters would be impressed that he'd take it to the terra-ists

this is EXACTLY what I thought would happen

media spinning madly to put the best face on that POS

not uniformly, but largely--especially MSNBC...they were embarrassing

I guess Fox started out amazingly, uh, balance, but I'll bet that changes

anyway. She says they're talking about women who were already voting
for Bush, largely because they are Christians. I don't have the link, but it
should be easy to find.

Here's the link to the Goodman article, http://www.workingforchange.com/article.cfm?itemid=17825

My feeling is that Bush has made us frighteningly LESS safe since taking office.

Let us 'moms' not forget that the 9/11 attacks happened on Bush's watch. And he learned of the imminence of those attacks while vacationing at his 'ranch.' Then after the attacks he flew around the country like a frightened puppy pissing on the floor while the rest of us fended for ourselves and our children.

Anyone who thinks this joker is protecting us is delusional.

I think Bush's angry rampage last night cost him the votes of MILLIONS of women, so it was interesting to read a man's perspective today. I especially like the fact he points out about the cable TV shows: they're stuffed full of alpha-male-wannabees, who have no insight at all into how women viewers reacted to the debate.

Hello, Gender Gap
Friday night in St. Louis, George W. Bush hurt himself with women

By Michael Tomasky
Web Exclusive: 10.07.04

There's no point in doing a little political punditry in the October of an election year without going way out on a limb, so here goes: As I smelled it, the most important thing that happened in the second presidential debate is that George W. Bush lost a good chunk of the women's vote.

...

It wasn't any single thing Bush said. It was the manner: the schoolyard swagger, the left arm cocked like an itchy gunslinger's, the arrogant sneer, the roosterish strutting -- and the voice. God, that voice. You don't quite call that screaming. It wasn't exactly caterwauling. Maybe yowling. Whatever it was, he sounded like a tedious and noisome braggart in the parking lot after a football game. Having seen plenty of those, and having been that myself from time to time, experience teaches me to take the view that most women do not find that figure appealing.

They might have, if Kerry had come across, to extend the metaphor, as the inadequate sad sack portrayed in Bush's television commercials. But he didn't. Kerry was terrific. Far better, by my lights, than he was in the first debate. I know no one else will see it that way, because he was the first debate's obvious winner, while he merely edged out round two on points after Bush didn't show up in where-am-I-again? mode. But Kerry was, if anything, stronger -- more succinct and direct, more challenging to Bush, and tougher -- than he had been in the first debate. And he especially showed all those qualities when he was talking foreign policy. I'm betting the security moms noticed.

...

It's very much worth remembering, in fact, how aggressively male a domain cable television is. The worst moment, when Bush just clearly behaved like a rude jerk, came at 9:36 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, when Charlie Gibson was trying to ask him a follow-up and Bush brusquely waved him off, interrupted, and charged forward and started yelping about Tony Blair. It was witnessing this moment that made me start to think about women viewers. But Chris Matthews, naturally, thought it was great. Which makes me think I'm on to something.
