The Times' sophisticated ladies on sex, politics and arithmetic.

Gail Collins and Maureen Dowd join in an on-line discussion, Women, the Presidency and the Election.

Gail:

"The bitter truth is that there are very, very few men practicing the art of politics on a national level who cause women to fantasize about heavy petting."

Mo:

"The latest CBS News poll shows that among George W. Bush supporters, 51 percent are men and 48 percent are women -- and of John Kerry supporters, 41 percent are men and 43 percent are women..."

OK... But if Mo wasn't distracted by secret thoughts of Arnold or Ted, then what was with her idea that 16% of Kerry's supporters are neither men nor women?
