Bush, Kerry Neglecting Female Vote: Experts Warn
EFL: I was entertained by the choice of experts, and the assumption that women are tuning out of this political season because women's issues aren't being discussed. Maybe women are unaffected by the economy and terrorism.Women may be the determining factor in the November election yet neither President Bush nor Democratic nominee John Kerry has adequately reached out to this important voter base, according to experts studying voter patterns and polls. "If President Bush or Senator Kerry wants to move more undecided women voters and bond more deeply with them, they have to start paying a little more attention to the issues that matter in these women's daily lives," said Meredith Wagner, executive vice president of public affairs at Lifetime Television. According to Wagner, the prevention of violence against women and the promotion of equal pay and women's health are the issues likely to impact the female vote in the presidential election. "They're not hearing from the candidates about these issues and they're not hearing the media talk about the candidates' positions on these issues, which is a little troubling," said Wagner. -snip- the next "expert" has an equally firm grasp of the blindingly obvious.
