How could I forget to mention, it's hard to close the gender gap when your party is being forced to clarify its position on rape. But I think all this "Rove is dead" the "Republican Party is dead" talk is dangerous. Don't ever underestimate their ability to bounce back, or our ability to throw a shitty candidate (Kerry anyone?)
