John McCain thinks that protecting a mother's health is extreme (YouTube) ---
I was shocked about McCain saying that concerns about the health of the mother are "extreme." I think that on this issue and his lack of support of equal pay for women, McCain lost the support of most women. It wasn't that long ago that women who wanted abortions had to resort to unsafe conditions which often caused the death of the woman. McCain lack of empathy for women on all issues just makes me sick.
McCain's facial expressions were a sideshow on its own. McCain's blinking, eye-rolling, and cynical smirks did nothing to make voters warm up to McCain.
Barack Obama was calm, cool and knowledgeable. Obama detailed his concern for working people by explaining in detail his economic plans. I believe that Obama won over many more voters last night.
If we really want to break away from Bush and the current Republican mess, it is time to vote a straight Democratic ticket. This will get legislation moving and will get the job done.
