Oct. 29--A group of young women talked politics amid cigarette smoke and live music at Churchill's Pub on a recent Friday.

The left-leaning but ostensibly nonpartisan women, who call themselves the "Voting Vixens," were set up in the club's outdoor patio, where they sold pink "Voting Vixen" T-shirts, handed out copies of Voting Vixens magazine, touted their website (votingvixen.com), signed women up for a mailing list, and generally cajoled the other female pubgoers into political conversation.

Much later, they ringed the dance floor and partied at the Little Haiti bar.

The Vixens is a grass-roots project started by Women's Movement Now, the local chapter of Younger Women's Task Force.
