At a Mike Huckabee event yesterday afternoon, three sixty-something women, all of them undecided, were discussing the Republican candidates and their possible preferences. The discussion turned to John McCain, torture, and interrogations. Here is a rough transcript of their conversation: Woman Number One: "John McCain is with the Democrats on that. He's not for torture! It's war!" Woman Number Two: "Are you for that waterboarding?" Woman Number One: "Sure, if it will get the information we need for our military men. It's war." All three women nodded in agreement. The most surprising part of the exchange came when the first woman declared: "He's not for torture!" She said it with the same incredulous tone of voice you might expect if she had said: "He's really a woman!"
