Just Say No Deal
Barack Obama detractors grow online as they work towards another Hillary Clinton presidential bid in 2012. See what our panelists think on this week's To The Contrary Extra.
To The Contrary Podcast, July 18, 2008TTC panelists discuss: Carly Fiorina wooing women voters to the McCain campaign; whether Title IX should be used to create gender equity in science classrooms; and choice moms-- single women becoming moms with the intention of raising their child alone. The panelists are: (in order of opening question response) Former Hillary for President Senior Advisor Ann Lewis; The Washington Times' Tara Wall; Progressive Commentator Patricia Sosa; and Townhall.com Columnist Amanda Carpenter.
Interview with Carly Fiorina on why she supports Sen. John McCain for president:
"I am pro-life, as is John McCain. He has a long pro-life record that he won't walk away from. But on the other hand, I know many women who are pro-choice that support John McCain. And I think it's because John McCain is the kind of individual who has conducted himself in a way to say we don't need to agree on everything, but if we can agree on enough things,...then we can work together."
