I really don’t care that John McCain couldn’t remember how much real estate his wife owns.
I’m also not overly concerned about the Roe v. Wade bogeyman that has certain progressives in a state of high dudgeon.
It does matter that McCain opposed a bill that would have made it easier for women to sue their employers for pay discrimination.
The bill was crafted in response to the Supreme Court’s ruling last year that a former Goodyear supervisor couldn’t sue the company for pay discrimination because she filed later than the 180 day statutory limit.
Talk about a bread and butter issue of particular interest to women, whom Obama supposedly wishes to court.
Interesting, then, that the Obama campaign don’t seem to want to touch this one with a ten foot pole, even though the Senator from Illinois actually did vote in favor of the bill. They’d rather make a subdivision out of a cemetery plot over the house thing.
Besides the fact that the number of properties that Cindy McCain owns is irrelevant to my well-being, if I were Obama, I wouldn’t be baiting my opponent over anything to do with real estate. An heiress owning a couple of condos strikes me as less of a concern than a cozy land deal between a politician and a convicted felon.
Oh, sorry, that wasn’t “the Tony Rezko that (he) knew.”
