More on the Gender Gap

The Note on that gender gap poll I pointed out yesterday:
“…Mark J. Penn, who conducted the poll, said that the party’s image has regressed since former president Bill Clinton left office and that those weaknesses put Democrats in a weakened position.”Regressed, in other words, to the wilderness of Michael Dukakis (tank boy) and Walter Mondale (who wasn’t exactly weak on defense but was perceived as being soft and pro-tax).
At the Campaign for America’s Future conference in early June, we were a bit astounded to hear boos — actual boos — when Senator John Kerry had the temerity to suggest that America occasionally had the moral authority to use its military might in the interest of national security.
These weren’t cat-calls aimed at President Bush; they were aimed at Senator Kerry for saying something positive about America’s armed forces and the use of American might.
