…refreshes doubts about McCain’s commitment to women’s issues, that is.

Planned Parenthood has revived McCain’s 8-second stumble in an interview last week when asked whether he has any thoughts about insurance plans that cover Viagra & don’t cover birth control. (the issue was raised by his own economic adviser, former Hewlett-Packard exec Carly Fiorina, earlier in the day)

Frankly, we’re stumped as to why he took so long to say anything. I don’t get why saying “that’s not right, & should be changed,” & be done with it, should be so hard, unless he’s calculating what words could potentially damage his standing with the religious right. Not a good 8-seconds for McCain here. He does remember more women turn out to vote than men, right?
