| Mr Khan said: I don't know. Given our news cycle, it could fade from importance pretty quick, but I also think there's the possibility that this could really push a lot of undecided women towards the democrats across the board, and, if he stays in the race, it would allow democrats all over the country to really keep hammering away at the "Republicans are anti-women" line, which seems to be one of the more decisive weapons in their arsenal this time around. We'll have to see how this goes. |
There's no way this story holds the national attention for two and a half months, and if a woman is susceptible to that line of argument, why would this one instance get her off the fence when Democrats have beaten the "war on women" drum to death already? Undecided voters are a pretty nonideological and uninformed bunch, and they're going to break one way or the other based on their gut feeling about the candidates and how things are going generally.
