“20 Million Reasons” to Register to Vote
What Women Need: Why women should vote
June 29th, 2008
PITTSBURG — Last week a former co-worker e-mailed me a rousing rally cry written to encourage women to register to vote.
After reading it, my curiosity was piqued: How do Kansas women stack up when it comes to not only registering to vote, but actually voting? After all, Kansas has a lot to offer the history books when it comes to strides made by women in politics, dating back to the state’s infancy.
Obama, McCain hope to get Clinton's female supporters in their camps
June 27th, 2008
AUSTIN – Most of Hillary Rodham Clinton's 18 million votes – those cracks in the glass ceiling – were from women, and now as her supporters wander a bit dazed from the primary head-thumping, the other campaigns are offering flowery pitches and candied words to attract them.
The prize is considerable: In the 2004 presidential election, 8 million more women than men voted. And so, it was not surprising that only a few hours after Mrs. Clinton gave her June 7 concession speech that both John McCain's and Barack Obama's Web sites featured photos of themselves with the New York senator and an invitation to her supporters.
