Sources for Election Issues Affecting Women 2008
Obama
Barack Obama has an entire section on his website devoted to women’s issues. That makes it easy enough to find out what his stance is on topics ranging from Women’s Health to Education. He has also rallied several support groups including: Prime Time Women for Obama, Boomer Women for Obama, Middle-Aged Women for Obama, Women over 50 for Obama and Obama Mamas. Joe Biden dicusses women’s issues in the youtube video below (released September 17, 2008).
McCain
John McCain has specific area on his website purely for “Women for McCain” but it doesn’t have any information on issues. Some reltaed topics can be found under the human dignity and life section of his website. Using the search function only provides press releases about how women support him. However, these articles do no specifically state why. Therefore, I had to find outside sources who have quoted him on various topics. Sarah Palin’s views are summarized here.

Thank you for this information. It’s hard to believe that any women would support Sarah Palin if they focused on her positions, she will do nothing for women’s issues.
