I would say over here there are very large groups of block voters. Not that it's right. I see it as people just following a crowd. Whether it be the "Hispanic vote," the "conservative Christian vote," "the gay and lesbian vote," "the liberal/feminist women vote," "the profamily/prolife womens vote,""environmentalists,""Hunters/NRA" etc., etc., etc.

It seems to always come down to getting a block on your side. The silent majority are the ones typically ignored.

Finally, it is my understanding that the Bush Administration has more minorities and women than any other. However, it doesn't seem to translate into him being a friend of either womens' issues or minority issues cause the folks he picks "don't fit the mold." Of course this is not true but it's all about getting a label to stick. Once stuck with a label in America, it is very hard to shake (IMO)!
