Clinton VS. Giuliani: Who Will Win the Women's Vote in '08?

Conventional wisdom may remind Americans that every vote counts; however, today's politicians value women's ballots more than ever. Why? Candidates remember previous elections. In bi-partisan harmony, both Republicans and Democrats agree that women's votes will likely be the deciding factor in this electoral race as well.

On the campaign trail, political candidates race urgently against Father Time as the 2008 election swiftly approaches. Opportunities to gain women's support march to the steady, tick-tock rhythm of his virtual clock. Accordingly, candidates quickly maneuver their campaign strategies, attempting to convert female voters into loyal supporters. Nevertheless, the front-runner's choreographed efforts fall short of securing women's overwhelming support.

Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton talks about health care and equal pay for women while Republican leader Rudy Giuliani continues to struggle with his stance on abortion. Focusing on traditional women's topics, Joe Biden, Barack Obama and Mike Huckabee discuss health care when campaigning to females. However, candidates have yet to establish a significant link with the majority of female voters.

Women are reluctant to commit their support because candidates are using hackneyed, out-dated filibusters, which do little more than broadcast a commonly-known dilemma and point the finger, blaming the other political party. All the while, each candidate claims to have the plan that will undeniably solve the issue.
