Messaging again: Biden's great night at the State of the Union

Clearly the delivery with vigor, passion, and aggression showed his strength may not be in his body but in his mind and tongue.  He let the Irish in him rip.  Bravo.

Here was what rang my chimes.

Biden was onto something last night..a theme that could be an umbrella of so much: Defending freedom abroad, defending freedom from foreign control, defending freedom for women and human rights at home. I nominate his best line of the night: "You can't love a country only when you win"Biden in onto something last night..a theme that could be an umbrella of so much: Defending freedom abroad, defending freedom from foreign control, defending freedom for women and human rights at home.

One of the strangest things about the choice of a woman to respond to Biden's address yesterday was to put a woman in the kitchen...and from Alabama, too...which has one of the lowest participation rates of women in the workforce in the US. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, women of working age are over 57%, and in some age categories 70%. Pandering to women, younger women, as whoever staged that response in a kitchen was not a great statement to garner more votes from women. In 2022, West Virginia had the lowest labor force participation rate for women, at 49.5 percent. An additional three states were under 52.0 percent: New Mexico (50.5 percent), Mississippi (51.1 percent), and Alabama (51.3 percent).
For the nation as a whole, the labor force participation rate for women was 56.8 percent in 2022. The age groups of 25 to 34 years, 35 to 44 years, and 45 to 54 years all had participation rates above 75.0 percent, with 25 to 34 years having the highest (77.6 percent).
