There is something about guys who go to the mat for women's rights, especially for women facing important life decisions, that makes them unbelievably sexy. I've had a huge crush on Mayor Bloomberg ever since he launched the initiative (which I helped design--so that helps also) to improve residency training in abortion throughout the New York City public hospitals. In the few times I've met him I've been a blushing dope. (Meeting Senator Santorum just didn't have the same romantic effect.) You name em, if they've got women's interests in mind it translates to a sexiness upgrade. Take Kucinich -- hard to imagine his wife who, let's face it, could pretty much have anyone set her sultry eyes on (let’s face it, not totally hot) Dennis. He’s a champion of women who want to prevent unintended pregnancies, much sexier than if he was the type to yuck it up with James Dobson, that anti-choices demagogue.

Now back to my point about Colorado Governor Bill Ritter's sexiness. Today, he is announcing his opposition to Amendment 48 which would grant fertilized eggs full human rights and establish the legal groundwork for eliminating all reproductive rights, including the right to use contraception. Ritter is in our corner. He respects women and their right to privacy.

The fastest way to a woman's heart is through her head. Governor Ritter, we're officially smitten.
