Shipp: Gender of candidate could trump issues in governor's race

This week Bill Shipp writes:

[T]he biggest issue in 2006 could be an almost silent topic relating to whether men are ready to support a woman for governor - or, more important, whether women will support a woman for governor. If that is true, the substantive campaign material won't matter much. It will simply become filler for TV commercials and luncheon fundraisers.
