And i for one, and i dont watch every minute of cable news, but ive not heard one discussion of the electability of a gay man. I have not heard one discussion of the electability of a jewish man. Why is it that women, and apparently at this time, women alone are left to have to fight for the notion that they can actually win . Yeah. I mean, i think whats going on, you do hear some discussion about age, for example. And whether or not age is a limiting factor for some of the older candidates in the field. You heard that particu
