So Much for the "Straight Talk Express"

McCain struggles to answer why men can get Viagra covered by health insurance but women cannot get contraception covered.

If anything can create a gender gap for Obama it is increasing awareness of McCain's inability to understand the issue of reproductive freedom and how men and women are treated differently. Not just on the abortion issue, but in terms of contraception and women's health care generally. There is a double-standard here that must be addressed and McCain just doesn't get it.

Wonder if he's mum on this because he's got a prescription?
