Hey all! A good friend of mine just conducted a panel with 6 female voters around Wilkes-Barre, PA to see what people were really thinking about all the major issues facing them in this campaign. A mix of Dems, undecideds, and one GOP voter (one woman actually flipped sides from GOP to Obama before the panel took place -- a good sign, I hope!) talked about everything from the Iraq war to race. This clip about the tensions between women and men has one of the most fascinating anecdotes I've heard in a while, though... (that story starts about 2:25 in)
The other clips have some really interesting interplays, too. Especially the one about race, where you can really see that delicate dance between a staunch anti-affirmative action GOPer and an African-American woman (even that title comes under attack!)...
Overall, I found the videos to be a really interesting look into the minds of women who may be deciding the future of our world tonight. If these women are truly representative, then I have to say (with my fingers crossed and my toes knocking on wood) that I like our chances tomorrow! You can check the rest of the vids out here...

Thanks for reading and I hope you find the videos as educational and interesting as I did!
