LaSalle is a Hillary supporter and his premise is as Carol Lloyd in a retort at Salon.com says is that "Voting For Clinton is like choosing a chick flick." LaSalle believes that when married couples go the movies that the wives give in to their husbands on the choice of what they go to see. And that married women use this criteria to choose who they vote for President. That is why women are going to vote for Obama instead of Hillary. They do not want to incur the wrath of their husbands. so they convince themselves that the master is right and do not vote for Hillary.
I find LaSalle's reasoning utterly ridiculous. It is a slap in the face to married women everywhere. What? Because you go through a ceremony of matrimony it makes you become a mindless robot? I don't believe all married women are afraid of disagreeing with their husbands. Their are cases where this may be true but his article makes it sound like this is the case, period. And do we use the same reasoning process to choose a President that we do to choose a movie as Lloyd says in her retort. Come on...
Sounds like LaSalle is grasping for straws because he is afraid his candidate is going to drown. Maybe some women just don't like Hillary, not because she is a woman, they just don't like her stands on the issues. Maybe that is why they would rather have Obama or McCain. It is a choice, after all.
P.S. I just found this and it really makes me question her judgment.

OMG - that is so annoying!!!! My husband is a republican and I'm, well, probably a socialist. He sho-nuff don't influence my voting. Unless, of course, it's with intelligent challenges - that's always a good thing. But my mind is my own.
And, we don't go see horror movies because I hate them (he loves them). Hmmmm - maybe Hillary is just not the Right Woman.
