ace....it sounds like you're trying to sidetrack the issue again.

But if you want play "what if" scenarios, the Supreme Court decision effectively tells employers that if you can "cover up potential pay discrimination for six months, then you are home free and can discriminate openly." (the Court said that workers must uncover and claim pay discrimination within 180 days of the first alleged discrepancy.)

BTW, the Fair Pay Restoration Act did not remove the cap on damages....so another argument of yours is invalid.

Back to the central issue of the OP, in terms of the issue of equal pay, I suspect most voters will judge Obama and McCain on their voting records and public statements.

Obama voted for the Fair Pay Restoration Act and McCain opposed it but did not vote and offered a ludicrous solution to the pay equity issue..."They (women) need education and training..."
