“You know, I am searching for a reason as to why McCain lost and I think I’ve come up with it in one word: WOMEN.”
AMEN. I talked to a FL early voter today (before the polls closed.) She owns a small, upscale facial salon. Her family split on sex lines - women for BHO, men for McPalin.
She greeted me with, “At least a Democratic President with a Democratic Congress will get something done.” When I said that that was what I was afraid of — and mentioned BHO’s tax policies & likely increased unemployment — she looked startled. (As I am also a woman, she appeared to believe I’d be like-minded.) She’d given no thought to the potential damage to her business.
She made it plain that she voted BHO because she was mad at Bush, for whom she voted both times. (As she & many here believe, it is a tragedy that it was GW & not Jeb who became Pres.) She also mentioned that she didn’t like Sarah. Absolutely no mention of McCain.
My family & I have spoken to any number of women for whom it is gospel that Sarah is a moron. (A beautiful, pro-life governor with 5 kids - & still married to her high school sweetheart - is more than most women can embrace, even if they work outside the home.) Likely they feel the same about Cindy McCain. (Heck, I’ve heard male libs rail ag. McCain for “getting” Cindy & having her allegedly pay for his first race.) No such threat w/sourpuss Michelle O. There’s a reason Oprah is so popular. My mother, one daughter, a female JAG officer and I are the only ones I know who love Sarah.

The Hispanic vote was supposed to help conservatives.
True? Maybe.....maybe not.
How many ACORN votes were out there that the Department of Justice simply pretended weren't there?
