Dubya's starting to look real good

I talked with a professional political consultant about that very question. He said that the ideal woman candidate is someone whom the men think is attractive/do-able and the women think is NOT.

At the time, he said, Christie Todd Whitman was the ideal.

Of course that was eight years ago.

It is, of course, completely and totally unfair, sexist, ageist, shallow and chauvinist. Welcome to politics.
