Yes, interview the candidates. Wives are good too, but frankly, I'd like to see SOMEONE ask about domestic, local, and women's issues and see a candidate answer. Directly. That they still don't understand the Internet is a weak excuse. Understanding that millions of people read a Web site can't be that hard. BTW, of ALL the candidates I've contacted? ONLY John Edwards has replied. Julie <a href="http://theartfulflower.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Using My Words</a> I answered the poll. Yes, interview the candidates.

BTW, of ALL the candidates I’ve contacted? ONLY John Edwards has replied.

This will be not be just a missed opportunity by any candidate that chooses to over look us...But a missed opportunity that very well may cost the candidate the election. I agree Jill.

I think there's a lot more here to be said and discussed. It's just not proportionate. There's some kind of disconnect. This isn't about a group of neighborhood women back in the district or something. The BlogHer community is really something else entirely - not to mention bigger than pretty much all but the largest cities that will determine who gets electoral votes. :) Thanks for linking, Catherine.

A candidate that doesn't have women on their side, will not win the campaign. Thanks for commenting Larry. More stupid than strange if you ask me.
