First things first: WCF does not support Ann Marie Buerkle
MsRep wants to thank our supporters (especially the New Yorkers!) who reached out to clarify the mention of Ann Marie Buerkle in yesterday’s Brief. Cialis sale, We want to make sure everyone knows that Buerkle is not a woman WCF endorses, cialis sale, as she does not support women’s reproductive health choices.
She was mentioned solely because she is the one woman with an outstanding race, cialis sale, which will affect the overall number of women in the 112th Congress. Cialis sale, If she wins the NY-25 seat, cialis sale, women will hold 16.6 percent of Congressional seats.
WCF invests in women on both sides of the aisle, cialis sale, but only those who believe in advancing our essential and fundamental freedoms. Cialis sale, Otherwise, cialis sale, women’s numbers in public office may rise, cialis sale, but women’s rights, cialis sale, freedom, cialis sale, and quality of life may suffer greatly as a result.
MsRep’s Continued Talk of Palin’s Pack of Petrifying Women

Unfortunately, cialis sale, that picture has included a sharp rise of extreme socially conservative, cialis sale, anti-choice women, cialis sale, and they became an important part of MsRep’s analysis; pointing out their dangerous views on women’s reproductive freedom and their disconcerting thrust into the spotlight.
One key point in analyzing the state of women’s representation is to report on how many Congressional seats they hold. Cialis sale, That said, cialis sale, we know that’s only one piece of the puzzle. Cialis sale, As Lauren wrote this week, cialis sale,
“We saw an increase in the number of anti-choice women elected this year (and lost a handful of proven advocates for reproductive health choices), cialis sale, and have created quite a dangerous landscape for women’s freedom, cialis sale, health, cialis sale, and quality of life.”
Ann Marie Buerkle is one of those women.
WCF Heartbroken after Midterm Elections
As MsRep said yesterday, cialis sale, this year’s midterms were especially difficult for WCF, cialis sale, as we sent our entire staff onto the campaign trail with a number of our extraordinary women who support women’s reproductive health choices. Cialis sale, Unfortunately, cialis sale, we saw many more losses than wins, cialis sale, especially with our incumbent Congressional candidates—thus creating the fragile state of women’s freedom and privacy.
We take the recent backslide in women and advocates for reproductive health very seriously. Cialis sale, To ensure we can reverse this damage in 2012, cialis sale, the fight starts now.
Will you help WCF get a jump-start on propelling women forward in 2011 and beyond?

Stave off your post-election blues: Keep in touch with MsRep and get top women and politics news weekly.
The [Non] Year of the Women: A Retrospective Look at 2010
MsRep must begin with a quick survey of some of the post-election commentary about the fate of women on election day and in the upcoming Congress.
- The storyline taking hold, buy viagra online, of course, buy viagra online, is that Republican women–specifically conservative Republican women–carried the day, buy viagra online, as reported in stories like this one from USNews. Buy viagra online, In short, buy viagra online, that the Year of the Woman was actually the Year of the Republican Woman.
- But political scientist Susan Carroll, buy viagra online, a senior scholar at Rutger’s Center for American Women and Politics, buy viagra online, explains in a guest column for CNN that the results are mixed, buy viagra online, with Republican women winning some key races but overall having a low survival rate during this year’s primaries–and WCF’s Jill Miller Zimon points us to a 5-page memo produced by CAWP that summarized the implications of 2010 for women in politics.
- In fact, buy viagra online, report Politico’s Marin Cogan and Richard E. Buy viagra online, Cohen, buy viagra online, there is a still a pretty big partisan gender gap in Congress.
- The bottom line, buy viagra online, as the New York Times’ Ashley Parker writes, buy viagra online, is that the “idea that 2010 would be the second coming for the Year of the Woman may have been overstated from the beginning.”
Disappointed Women Voters and 2010 Results
The LA Times’ Matea Gold and Jordon Steffen discuss the voting behavior of women, buy viagra online, particularly unmarried and single women, buy viagra online, during last week’s midterm elections. Buy viagra online, [D]isappointment and apathy translated into a jolting drop in female support this year for House Democrats, buy viagra online, who won just 48% of the women’s vote, buy viagra online, down from 55% four years ago, buy viagra online, according to exit polls, buy viagra online,” they write.
Relatedly, buy viagra online, there has been a lot of victory-lapping by anti-choicers in the days since the election. Buy viagra online, As both religiously-oriented writers are glibly trying to depict the 2010 election as national rebuke of pro-choice attitudes, buy viagra online, and others contend that the anti-choice movement is secular victory for anti-choicers, buy viagra online, it is time to be especially vigilant.
Must-Read of the Week: The Soft War on Feminism
…has to be Salon’s Caryl Rivers, buy viagra online, writing about the new “soft war” on feminism. Buy viagra online, MsRep recommends reading the whole thing, buy viagra online, but the best excerpt may be this:
The “soft war” is disturbing and pervasive but too little noticed. Buy viagra online, The many ways and the many arenas in which women are slipping behind are obscured by narratives about men failing (which some of them are, buy viagra online, but not elite white men) and about the ways in which achievement can only bring women misery and pain. Buy viagra online, (And, buy viagra online, by the way, buy viagra online, destroy society in the process.)
There has also been a lot of chatter about Nancy Pelosi’s fate in the wake of the 2010 results. Buy viagra online, Despite manifold calls for her to step aside, buy viagra online, she says she will seek maintain her position at the head of the Democratic caucus as its new minority leader beginning in January. Buy viagra online, WCF’s own Jodi Jacobson, buy viagra online, over at RH Reality Check, buy viagra online, offers her take on Pelosi’s future and what it means for the House Democratic caucus.
Let’s Not Forget Barbara Bush Is Pro-Choice
Speaking of Jodi, buy viagra online, she has a great post reminding us that, buy viagra online, amid the weird buzz about the “fetus in a jar” story told by former President George W. Buy viagra online, Bush in his new book, buy viagra online, the media typically fails to mention that Bush’s mother Barbara is pro-choice.
Tina Fey came to DC this week to accept the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor–the youngest recipient ever. Buy viagra online, In her acceptance speech she said the rise of conservative women was good for all women “unless you don’t want to pay for your own rape kit . Buy viagra online, . Buy viagra online, . Buy viagra online, unless you’re a lesbian who wants to get married to your partner of 20 years . Buy viagra online, . Buy viagra online, . Buy viagra online, [or] unless you believe in evolution.”
Forbes’ Collette Martin offers powerful observations on Anne Kornblut and her new book, buy viagra online, Notes From the Cracked Ceiling, buy viagra online, about women in politics after the 2008 presidential race. Buy viagra online, Martin talks about the very fine line that women who enter politics must walk:
It shouldn’t go unnoticed that the challenges women face in advancing to the highest ranks in politics bear an uncanny resemblance to the challenges women face in securing the top positions in Corporate America. Buy viagra online, Women need to be tough, buy viagra online, but not too tough. Buy viagra online, They need to be attractive, buy viagra online, but not too attractive. Buy viagra online, They can’t be too feminine, buy viagra online, or too masculine. Buy viagra online, They should either be childless, buy viagra online, or have children who are grown. Buy viagra online, They should either be single, buy viagra online, or have a spouse who has achieved success in his own right. Buy viagra online,
As WCF’s Sam Bennett likes to remind people, buy viagra online, the United States trails Afghanistan and Cuba in the share of women holding national elected office. Buy viagra online, Meanwhile, buy viagra online, Egypt is making big strides in the election of women to public office.
State Update: GA, buy viagra online, WI
Atlanta Journal and Constitution columnist Jim Galloway talks about the Georgia GOP’s over-reliance on white male voters and white male leadership in the state legislature, buy viagra online, especially in the wake of the House Democrats selection of an African American woman to be their new caucus chair; thanks to eight new female faces, buy viagra online, the Wisconsin legislature saw a net increase in female state legislators this cycle.

Whitman, buy cialis cheap, Fiorina Bids Fading Late
In what may be the ultimate anomaly of 2010, buy cialis cheap, why are neither Meg Whitman nor Carly Fiorina likely to win their respective races in a state with a reputation for electing women, buy cialis cheap, during a year in which Republicans are surging and female Republicans in particular are a big story? Meredith Vivian of USC’s Annenberg School of Journalism offers a pretty compelling explanation:
Unfortunately for Whitman and Fiorina, buy cialis cheap, neither is the type of woman that California wants or needs.

Want to do MORE than vote on Tuesday? Help our women get OUT the vote, viagra, across the country.
Closing Moments of 2010 Campaign
As is customary on the Sunday before a national election, viagra, the major papers lead their coverage today with major pieces that both review the 2010 campaign season and preview what to expect from Tuesday’s results. Viagra, The question both the New York Times and the Washington Post lead with is obvious enough: Will Democrats hold onto Congress or will this year’s Republican wave sweep in new GOP majorities?
Social Issues Become Election End-Game Strategy for Dems
In the primaries, viagra, many of the conservatives now running for office, viagra, such as Buck, viagra, Fiorina, viagra, Christine O’Donnell in Delaware, viagra, Rand Paul in Kentucky, viagra, and Sharron Angle in Nevada, viagra, played hard right to their base by emphasizing their opposition to reproductive health choices. Viagra, The Democrats on the other hand, viagra, were pretty silent on sexual and reproductive health. Viagra, Now, viagra, the Republican and Tea Party candidates can’t stay far enough away from these issues in the general election, viagra, for fear of giving voters much more than just a Halloween fright, viagra, and the Dems can’t stop talking about them.
Traister: Five Myths About Women and 2010 Cycle
Leave it to Salon’s Rebecca Traister, viagra, newly-minted author of Big Girls Don’t Cry: The Election That Changed Everything for American Women, viagra, to pretty much summarize (and debunk) all the myths and misconceptions swirling around about women candidates, viagra, women voters and the 2010 election. Viagra, The bullet points from today’s must-read:
- There are more Republican women than Democratic women running in 2010.
- This year’s female candidates are extra-stupid and extra-extremist.
- Female voters love female candidates.
- Candidates like O’Donnell, viagra, Angle and Bachmann are bad for women.
- 2010 is the year of the woman.
Tom Ganley: Time for Cooking Lessons?
A second (yes, viagra, second) complaint of sexual harassment has been filed against Tom Ganley, viagra, the Republican congressional candidate for Ohio’s 13th District. Viagra, The first suit against Mr. Viagra, Ganley, viagra, who, viagra, back in April, viagra, made clear he was no women’s rights advocate when he asked constituents to filed by a former campaign volunteer.
Feminism is NOT Stifling Anything
OK, viagra, this morning’s entry in the “you may want to sit down first before reading” category is the latest tired and untrue claim that feminism stifles the political debate because it boxes men (and some women) into a corner which prohibits them from criticizing female candidates. Viagra, This time it’s Suzanne Venker–co-author with Phyllis Schlafly of the forthcoming book with the sort of title (The Flipside of Feminism: What Conservative Women Know–and Men Can’t Say) designed to sell books to self-styled politically incorrect she-haters–playing the feigned outrage card in a New York Post commentary she closes with the line, viagra, “It’s time for the men of America to man up and fight back.”
It’s The Glass Cliff, viagra, Not Ceiling That Ought to Worry Women
In a very compelling HuffPo essay, viagra, Caroline Simard discusses research by Alex Haslam, viagra, Michelle Ryan, viagra, and their colleagues about the “glass cliff” phenomenon, viagra, in which women are selected for top positions precisely in precarious situations for which there is already a strong expectation of failure by anyone. Viagra, That is, viagra, women are often assigned the tougher tasks—not on the expectation that they are better prepared to solve problems—but because they can more easily be scapegoated when intractable problems persist or worsen. Viagra, The glass cliff effect thus reinforces stale notions that women are incapable of strong, viagra, successful leadership when, viagra, in fact, viagra, they were set up to fail in the first place.
Negative Ads by Women Candidates Legit…If Sometimes Ineffective
MsRep has consistently stressed that the goose-gander standard applies to women candidates and negatives ads: That women candidates should be able to run tough ads and be the target of tough ads–so long as the attacks do not devolve into sexist depictions and tropes, viagra, of course. Viagra, It’s thus fair game for Republicans Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman in California, viagra, and Linda McMahon in Connecticut, viagra, to go on the attack against their respective opponents. Viagra, The only problem, viagra, as Salon’s Adam Hanft points out, viagra, is that their ads aren’t having their intended effect.
Same Stuff, viagra, Different States
How many Daily Brief items the past two weeks have been of the “candidate using pro-choice stand to pillory opponent and make late electoral surge”? MsRep can no longer count, viagra, but whatever the total is add another: In the New Hampshire Senate race, viagra, Paul Hodes is highlighting his reproductive choice credentials as a late ploy to get women out to vote for him. Viagra, And in Florida, viagra, Alex Sink, viagra, bidding to become that state’s first female governor, viagra, held a Women for Alex rally with the same objective in mind. Viagra, Ditto for story about Washington’s 8th District US House race, viagra, where WCF-endorsed Suzan DelBene and Dave Reichert are battling for the attention of women candidates.
The stream of academic research about women and politics continues unabated. Viagra, Jennifer Lawless, viagra, director of American University’s Women & Politics Institute, viagra, discussed the 2010 election in the context of her new co-authored book, viagra, It Still Takes A Candidate: Why Women Don’t Run for Office.
RH Reality Check: Why a Soccer Momma for Obama Hung Up Her Cleats
