Greetings Juan,

Phallocentrism notwithstanding, those outside the US should know that women
were largely responsible for Clinton's victory in the last erection, uh,
election. Women preferred Clinton to Dole by a margin of about 20%. Among
white Protestant males, the vote was even. Being a man, and not versed in
gender studies, I voted for Ralph Nader. At least he had a woman running mate.
