Palin Effect could boost these women here

Wende Curtis ... could benefit from the Palin Effect.
(Courtesty: The Comedy Works)
And while it’s difficult to say how her “skirttales” will work in the long-run, Palin’s personality could affect women here across a variety of fields.
Foremost might be Republican Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, locked in a tough re-election battle and seen as a vulnerable conservative. The CSU grad, first elected in the Fourth Congressional District in 2002, has taken some tough hits. If the base rallies, it could help Musgrave, one of two females in Colorado’s Congressional delegation.
Another to benefit, albeit indirectly, could be Comedy Works owner Wende Curtis. While it may seem like a stretch, comedy booms when it has some great national targets. Comedy Central'sone-two punch of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert have never been sharper, it seems, than recently, when they were able to unload on the sudden rise of the previously obscure moose-hunting Alaskan homegirl. So Curtis, whose own comedy empire has expanded, can look for a boom in both the quality of comedic material -- and the need for frazzled Democrats to laugh their troubles away.
And while it may not appear immediately, women’s basketball could get a boost. As Palin’s story unfolds, her time spent as a point guard on a championship high school team in Alaska is sure to gain attention. Parents, want your daughter to grow up to be aVice-presidential nominee? How about spending some time in a gym with her, shooting hoops.
CU Buff women’s coach Kathy McConnell-Miller said some electrifying things at the end of last season’s WNIT tournament run. “I have confidence that they, along with future talented teammates, will respond positively and build on these recent experiences.” Sounds sorta, well, political.
Of course, if McCain-Palin don't win... women may have to to wait for Hillary Clinton's return. Stay tuned.
