Call Newspapers and Women
What do Cindy Christopher, Margi Cook, Rita Diekemper, Marea Hoppe, Julie Leicht and Gloria Weber have in common? They are all women who have run for office in South County and the Call has beaten up repeatedly while doing so. The Call must take pride ın itself for beating up women.They may have a liberal slant when it comes to national politics, but when it comes down to treating the opposite gender as equal, Bill Milligan fails often and miserably. Milligan will have a lot of opportunity to hurt women this year. Every candidate for statewide office in South County,on the Democratic side, is a woman. Judy Parker, Pat Yeager, Vicky Lenz Englund, Jan Polizzi and Sue Schoemehl are running for the area's state representative seats and Joan Barry is running for the state senate.

Mike! Do you realy believe that the "paper" will ever "diss" a democRAT?
A liberal is first and foremost a liberal! There wuill be no mention of any possible "peccadillos" by anyone "on their side," rather the axe will fall on the low down, "rich,"
or whomever has the nerve to run against their candidate!
Watch the game played out by these "understanding" folks, and see if this is not correct!

Tom,
I must respectfully disagree. The Call will diss (or beat the crap out of) a Democrat, especially if the candidate is a woman. I think they are consistently liberal on national issues but are all over the board locally. Their sponsorship has more to do with petty history or how much a candidate spends in their paper than their political affiliation. More and more they move to the right now that Milligan and Hilmer are bedfellows. Heck, even with that, he sponsored the incumbent Gralike for fire board over Stegman. He has to have an ulterior motive to treat a woman fairly.
