We need Oprah again!!

She's needed now more than ever! With the polls showing McCain gaining support from women, we need Oprah to speak up like she did during the primary. Go with Obama on a few campaign stops.

Win back white women!

In the Repub. primary campaign, McCain bumbled and stuttered past a question dealing with insurance coverage of women's birth control while Viagra is covered for men. He obviously hadn't thought about this make-or-break issue for women. Obama needs to pounce on this to win white women back!

Hillary Clinton: "No Way, No How, No McCain-Palin" IN FRONT OF CAMERAS

Hillary Clinton is such a powerful figure in today's political environment. Her supporters need to hear the statement she released in her own voice. They need to see her say it in her newest pantsuit. There is no reason that anyone who supported Hillary based on her policies should support Palin-McCain.

Rebuttal!

I think that it would be great to do an ad rebutting that ad where the woman says she is a former Hillary supporter who is voting for McCain. Have a Hillary supporter talk about why she is voting for Obama, but make it about how she, as a woman, could vote for no other, despite McCain's choice of a woman for VP.

Have a woman go after Palin

Republican leaders have already dismissed the Obama campaign's criticisms of Palin's lack of executive experience as sexist. They are throwing Hillary Clinton's name around as if she and Palin are connected in more ways than their gender.

Palin Response - Addressing the weakest link

I have observed that the commentators, and the Republican VP candidate herself, are positioning Palin as 'the woman's choice'. This issue needs to lose its traction before it starts. I believe the RNC even have former Clinton supporters at the RNC. The Obama campaign needs to enlist Hillary to highlight her record versus the mayor of a town of 7000 people.

Should women be backing an Anti-Choice candidate for VP in Palin?

Looking at Palin's beliefs with a woman's right to choose, should women really be backing someone who believes that a woman should not have the right to choose?

Hillary to Supporters: DON'T FALL FOR IT!

Much of the reason to pick Palin is to draw away the upset Hillary voters to the Republican ticket. What Hillary needs to do is to outline the complete and utter opposites that make up her and Palin's stances and histories. If they want to vote for a woman just because she is a woman, they will anyway.

Post primary outreach to HRC supporters

Barack Obama, akin to his speech on race should either give a major address on gender or have Michelle Obama give an address on gender when the primaries are over as a way to honor Sen. Clinton's historic campaign. I believe a well crafted and delivered speech could go a long way toward reaching out to HRC's hardcore reporters.

Win back some women voters with delicious photo op

As pointed out by the women on "The View" Obama is a very attractive man! I'd like to have Obama attend some more casual events and get some images out of him in jeans and a "tighter" shirt. It will get those female voters talking!
