First, your point that Obama's campaign is paying women less than the men on average is nullified by the paragraph that Tully Mars highlighted. The one point that you based this entire thread on was discounted in your own original post. There are simply less women in senior roles for McCain and therefore the math cannot possibly add up for Obama.
Second, this point is based off of improperly organized statistics. If we were to compare women of the same role to men of the same role within Obama's campaign, versus the same scope within McCain's campaign, we might have an argument. Instead, these numbers simply reflect the total women in each campaign against the total men in each campaign. This is not good statistical analysis. It is irresponsible news reporting.
Now that I have responded to your points directly (instead of working on you personally) are you willing to concede this point or push further?

Thank you.
Next level - Obama has made attacks against McCain on the Equal pay issue, you agree there are complexities to the issue - are Obama's attacks against McCain fair? Are Obama's attacks on "business" fair?
