  I'm Finally Part Of The Most Wanted Demographic! I was always so jealous of the Soccer Moms, the Single Guys, the AARP and all the other trendy demographics.
Finally I get my turn! Single Women Voters! However, urlLink after reading this Salon article , I'm just reminded of how often I get steamed at women from Jane Magazine and Candace Bushnell who claim to represent my views. First of all, Karen Catchpole, senior editor of Jane has this to say: "It's not like they should start thinking 'let's do a mall tour because we're going to talk to women. '" She paused, and said with audible disgust, "By the way, I'm 100 percent sure that that idea has come up, and that's just offensive. " Then Simon Doonan, creative director for Barneys New York says this: "The 'Sex and the City' single women are never going to take an interest in politics. They are so completely mired in fashion and style and self-indulgence. They have, maybe quite wisely, decided to center their entire lives on themselves. They're very inwardly focused; they make random attempts at caring about the world by going to yoga class. " Then Elle editor in Chief Roberta Myers : As for how candidates could catch the eyes of single women, Myers said that in practical terms, "One thing the Kerry campaign could do is get John Edwards [as the vice-presidential candidate]. " She was quick to add, "not just because John Edwards is cute. It's that he's got a magnetism, and you can hear the message a little more easily. It's true that you actually pay more attention to people who are compelling speakers and deft with language.
" And then New York magazine sex columnist Amy Sohn : "[Kerry] should hire really good-looking men to stand outside the polling places in high-single areas," she said. "All the men should have sideburns and good breath. Any time they see a harried woman walking by in unreasonably high heels, they hand her a flier that says Choose, Then Booze...When I was single I always voted because I never had a date and it was one way to make the evening go by more quickly.
Plus, it takes less time to vote than to masturbate, and the feeling of satisfaction lasts longer. " What I find far more offensive than the thought of candidates going to malls looking for women voters, is women who claim to speak to my views on politics saying that women choose a candidate like we choose a one-night-stand, and then compare it to masturbation. No wonder candidates are listening. J.
