...talking points, bombarding women's groups with pointed talks on Social Security and women, health care and women, abortion rights and women. Bush, on the other hand, seems to be losing his grip on his female lead - a slip that should set off warning bells in the GOP. After all, we learned one thing during the Clinton campaigns: As women voters go, so goes the country...
...military affairs as a general and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Powell would add credibility to a Republican ticket that may otherwise lack substance. In addition, some of his more liberal social positions would allow the Republicans to appeal to a wider base than the GOP traditionally attracts. Moreover, Powell is already well known around the country. Bush's father chose an obscure and illiterate Indiana Senator as his running mate.

The only reasons he must have for doing so are personal, not issue-based. After all, Bush is a Republican and thus more likely to advance the Republican platform than McCain. Granted, the two platforms are reasonably similar, with the only difference that the Democratic tilts slightly towards the impractical and disorganized left while the Republican tilts slightly towards the mean-spirited and bigoted right. Of course, the Internet...
