This whole thing amazes me.
Blacks (as a generalization) have a reputation for being highly disrespectful of women. If I was a woman, but I would be shocked at this apparent treatment by a black man towards the leading Democratic female candidate.
Why are Democratic women not standing up and voting for McCain/Palin?
The answer is the same as why the NOW stood by Clinton even after his trashing of women (by Hillary) that had sex with Bill or refused to have sex with him.
ITS ABOUT POWER. Women are voting for Obama because he promises them power to correct grievances towards women. Real or not. Palin stands for women standing up on their own. Many women like playing the victim (the same goes for blacks, Hispanics, white male union members, or ANY group that wants to blame others for their failure to be as wealthy or powerful as their THINK they should be). Hence, even though Obama totally disrespected Clinton and women in general, they will brutally attack Palin for power.
Pure and simple. Altruistic women may flip to McCain, but the hardcore feminists will vote for Obama because they seek REVENGE against men.
I think most women want to be looked after. That is why married women (who have someone) tend to be less left-wing than single women (who may have an unfilled need, and look to government).
