Women voters swing power in Clinton Dole contest
The piece argues the 1992 female electorate is pivotal, noting Clinton leads Dole and stressing policies that aid working mothers. It critiques both campaigns for ignoring the core issue: helping families balance work and children via private sector reforms and targeted incentives rather than tax hikes or new programs. The author contends the candidate who best supports family-friendly policies will win women’s votes.
