Democrats desert Barack Obama and turn towards the Republicans
Jessica Goral had pretty much made up her mind two weeks ago: she was going to vote for Barack Obama. Then John McCain picked Sarah Palin as his running-mate.
“She empowers a lot of women,” said Mrs Goral, a mother of two in Macomb County — a national bellwether in the battleground state of Michigan and an area rich in white, working-class swing voters who will play an important role in deciding the election in November.
“I like that she’s a brand new mother, and that she has the courage to stand behind her pregnant daughter. She relates to working women. For all of us who have children at home but have to go to work every day — she has given us a sense that we can still do it and can be an excellent mum,” she said. “Sarah Palin is a role model. She’s made me more likely to vote Republican.”
If Mr Obama should be in any doubt how gravely the vice-presidential nomination of the Governor of Alaska has imperilled his White House ambitions, then a day spent in Macomb County will make this clear: white women who voted for John Kerry in 2004 are suddenly deserting the Democratic Party.

The Damacrat Party getting its just deserts.
“Yes we can” is not a plan. People are starting to see that.
You mean, “the chickens are coming home to roost.”
These are the ‘Reagan Democrats’ coming home to the party. I welcome them.
Sarah’s common sense approach, her authenticity and her realness is very appealing, and she will bring out those traits in people with whom she strikes a common chord.
This is the core of my optimism about the election: that the right-minded folks will get out there and pull the lever for the right candidates, who will best represent their interests.
Barack: “Where de white women at?” =D
Macomb County is full of ‘Reagan Democrats,’ so this isn’t terribly surprising. But it’s a good sign nonetheless, especially since McCain’s selection of Palin is what prompted her to support the Republican ticket.
Great article! Obama is soooooooooo in trouble and I don’t think there is much his campaign can do to get the women back.
Anyone want to bet against the following assertions?
Jessica Goral has not had an abortion, and therefore has no need to justify it.
Jessica Goral has no need for socialism because she’s in a stable marriage.
“You mean, ‘the chickens are coming home to roost.’”
More like, “There never were any chickens. Only a chicken suit and a teleprompter.”
The feminazis are terrified and livid. Their evil lies and political motivations being are exposed for what they are with Palin. Women are attracted to the results and beauty of Palin's practice of righteous truth. Hearts are being changed by her example and when a great number of hearts are changed the laws will follow.
Even if Obama brings in Hillary, people are in love with Sarah Palin. She’s an all American woman where Hillary is a socialist that only believes in herself. What people are starting to realize is the the only socialist that makes good is those on top.

Shame on you. That’s funny.
Conservative women Rock!!!!!!!!!
I have seen an unreleased poll saying Obama has a base support of 81%! THAT means this race is over. algore had 90% and lost. frenchie had 89% and lost.
Black Christians won’t vote for him.
Blue collar men and women won’t vote for him.
Working class white women won’t vote for him.
I’m better senior citizens won’t vote for him after the smart-ass computer ad.
Game over.
McCain’s genius in putting a White Woman on his ticket is now manifest.
Gutter politics, which are the stand SOP of the Left, aren’t paying off this time around. The fact that they are human waste is showing through in their attempts to destroy Sarah Palin and her family. The drive-by media is equally as reprehensible and their obvious support and bias for the Muslim Messiah has been exposed for one and all to see.

Can you win a national election with just the latte liberals and the black voters? Many black voters reside in red states, as do some of the latte libs. A recent thread here says the youth vote is now headed over to McCain/Palin. Remember 2000, this is a state-by-state election. Two words: Electoral College.
Priceless....
Have to give McCain credit, he with his VP pick may just defeat the democrats & the Moron Media.
Not so sure it’s advantageous to conservatives. Seems that a lot of our newbies are quite happy bashing Christians and comparing us all to Fred Phelps.

Or, put another way, you could say that their chhhhhickensssss are coming home. To rooooooooooooooost
And another thing....Sarah did it on her own, Hillary road on her husbands's coattails. Sarah can pinpoint accomplishments!
McCain WILL win the female vote, which always goes democrat by a good margin.
McCain WILL win the male vote, which always goes Republican.
Can anyone tell me how Obama expects to win????? The Transgender vote??
It’s a landslide, look at every trend in the polls. Now Obama has to go negative way too early since he lost his lead and he’s floundering. The 527’s will pummel Øbama close to the election with Ayers/Rezko, et. al, and depress the already unreliable DUmmies.
I’m not worried about McCain/Palin, I want the HOUSE.
1. Obama is not only an empty suit, but even the suit itself is made from organic, gravitas free materials. It's like the Emperor's New Clothes in reverse. No one wants to be stupid and admit that there's nothing in the suit, because that would be admitting that you're just now figuring there's never been anything in the suit.
(Obama's running mate is actually made from a compressed form of gas, known as Hotairium. When in proximity to a microphone, this strange creature emits a series of gaffes and lectures, often recycled from the environment it has already passed through. It has no known leadership attributes, but moderate comedy value.)
2. McCain and Palin are interesting, accomplished people. For whatever their flaws, and they have flaws, those flaws exist because there is some substance there to be imperfect. There's quite simply no *substance* at all to the other ticket. Nothing. Nothing but contrived speech and lofty words.
You can't be something with nothing, folks. There is *nothing* holding the Democratic ticket together, other than the swirling fumes of Bush hatred. The problem, of course, is that Bush isn't on the ticket, and pretending he is won't work.
Voters, now facing a real choice, and their desire to be rid of President Bush no longer blinding them, can increasingly see clearly what two options they have: A reasonable amount of reform, or nothing but talk.
What would you pick?
(For your tagline!!)
LOL!
That is hilarious.

And the more they try to disgrace and humiliate Mrs. Palin, the more they will lose.
Watch, someone will get it through to their thick skulls and they will start being ultra nice to Sarah Palin.
By the way, did anyone see the Fox noon show with Geraldine Ferrara and some nutjob who when they were supposed to be talking about Sarah empowering women or not started talking about how Bush murdered 4000 Americans and how Palin wants to take away a “woman’s right to choose”. I really hope they keep putting loony’s on like this. Even the democrats on the panel were looking at her like she was a fruitcake.
Those people are going to become even more desperate.

Anecdotally, I talk with a lot of senior citizens, and they have been heavily for McCain even before the computer ad. The only exceptions are the ususal lost causes--bullet voters we used to call them--old black people and old union people.
“If we do the work that we can do in this country, the work that we will do when John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve will get up out of that wheelchair and walk again”—John Edwards, October 2004.
They are finally getting caught up with their lies and gutter politics.
I just made a post on that on another thread. How many senior citizens don’t care to learn how to use an email or computer but feel they are just fine without it did he call idiots?
