I was at brunch just today with several (7, 8 counting me) conservative, accomplished, church-going wives and moms, all of whom are involved in politics in one way or the other. None of them currently support Sarah Palin. One other woman and myself probably came the closest when we said we’d vote for her if she is the nominee. No one else would make that commitment.
Calling women catty and telling them that they couldn’t possibly be as pretty as Sarah Palin or that they are jealous isn’t the way to win over minds for your candidate.
But since women are only half of the electorate, I’m sure the name callers feel that Sarah Palin’s campaign can succeed without them.
Right?
And addressing women’s actual concerns is probably just stupid.
Right?
Are YOU feeling inferior?
Are your "friends" really all that well informed about ALL who are/might be candidates for the primary?
Who are they for?
Yes, women do turn out to vote and like many men, are ill/uniformed, vote with their feelings, and/or just vote for a party. That's how we got stuck with Onabam, Clinton, Carter, and a whole lot of other dreadful presidents/presidential candidates.
How about remarking on this article, or at least, my posts, when replying to me? That would make far more sense than what you've done.
“One other woman and myself probably came the closest when we said we’d vote for her if she is the nominee. No one else would make that commitment.”
First of all I question the sincerity of your invented anecdote. But if it were real, and then would not vote for Palin over Obama......they are NOT conservatives, they are pretending to be conservatives.
You're right. A lot of people get really upset when the light of truth is shined upon them.
These women aren't rejecting Palin on the basis of logical analysis and reason.
Mrroww Ffffft.
They're jealous, just as Rush's caller pointed out.
Case in point, my wife.
She's 5' 9", blonde, leggy, and has an IQ > 140.
But for some odd reason, she adores Palin.
QED.
Cheers!
