◼ Democrats´ Women Problem in Colorado - Bloomberg
What do women want? Freud’s question, yet to be fully answered, has roiled the contest for what should have been a safe Senate seat in Colorado....◼ Democrats Count on Edge With Women to Limit Election Losses - New York Times
Democrats are nervously counting on an enduring edge among female voters in most states to prevent a Republican rout in Tuesday’s elections. Yet so great is the uncertainty that even before the returns are in, some are second-guessing the party’s strategy of focusing more on issues like abortion and birth control than on jobs and the economy.◼ Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama hit by hecklers at separate speeches - Washington Times (D.C)
The danger for Democratic candidates is that their advantage among women could be so reduced by dissatisfaction with President Obama and the country’s course that it is not enough to offset Republicans’ usual edge among the smaller population of male voters.

◼ "Bill Clinton plugs Kay Hagan" This May Be The Most Awkward (And Unintentionally Inappropriate) Political Headline Of The Season - Newsbusters
If you have not already burst out laughing or at least smiled then you must be sorely lacking in the humor department. That was the actual title of a Politico article. To make matters worse, or funnier, the story was accompanied by a photo of Bill Clinton and Kay Hagan with the latter wearing a blue dress. So was this an example of Politico showing a sly sense of humor? Probably not since their bias leans left and would not want to set Kay Hagan (or Bill Clinton) up for mockery at this final stage of the campaign. The fact that it was probably unintentional makes the headline even funnier. To add to the humor is the way the author of the Politico article plugs her story on Twitter but first let us look at some of the amused reactions of the Politico readers in the comments section...◼ 14 embarrassing things you do when you’re about to lose an election - Washington Post

Wendy Russell Davis is on fire. And I don’t mean that in a good way.◼ Could Wendy Davis sink Battleground Texas? - Poltico
I mean it in a five-alarm, set-her-own-skirt-aflame, billowing-human-torch kind of way. To say that Davis is smokin’ hot is not a compliment. It’s a campaign incineration status update.
The Democratic darling of the Hollywood Left and glamour gal of abortion thought her path to the Texas governor’s mansion would be a pink-sneakered walk in the park. Instead, her single-issue campaign has combusted.

Acknowledging the admittedly remote risk that I am giving a hostage to fate by writing these words, I note that the implosion of Wendy Davis’s ugly and vacuous gubernatorial campaign in Texas has been a satisfying spectacle.
