We like men

At least that's the mantra of some folks on the side of the elephant. Check out this post by Hullabaloo:
Was everyone suitably impressed with all the manly, man's-man, manliness of the Republican field? You should be.

OLBERMANN: Let’s just sit here a moment more as we watch this. And this touches on the idea of regal qualities that were not seen in South Carolina. This is the prosession, this is the parade, these are tonight’s debaters. The ten candidates, filing out, just in fact to our right. We can see them from where we are seated. There is a coronation quality that just was not present in South Carolina.

FINEMAN: Keith, if you look at that picture and took away all of the writing and all of the words, and just had the image, could the American people tell that those were Republicans? I think the answer is yes. There is a hierarchical, there is, dare I say it, male, there is an old-line quality to them that some voters, indeed a lot of voters, find reassuring. And this is something that the Democrats need to understand. The Democrats are the “we are family” party, which is great, but this is the other side of the conversation and this is their home here. We really are in Reagan country.


It's true. Every last one of them had a penis while the Democrats produced at least one last week who failed to show up with one. Well, sort of. Here's how Matthews phrased a question about Hillary Clinton to the mighty Republican sausage fest without ever mentioning her name:
"Let me ask you about something else that might be a negative in the upcoming campaign. Would it be good for America to have Bill Clinton back living in the white house?”
