“.we thought we had one but she slept through it”

I suspect that at the end Sarah Palin realized what a lot of American conservative men don’t realize and that is that NO woman is going to be president anytime soon. The reason is that women are the majority of voters and women DO NOT want to see a woman in the white house. If women wanted a woman president we would be disgusted now with president Clinton rather than resident Obama. I have been very amused at all the speculation about Hillary replacing Obama and winning the white house. I figure she would have about as much chance in the general election as Joy Behar would have.
Women are the majority of voters, women decide who is president, either by voting or staying home, either way they are the majority and they decide. Women do not support women for president. They support men who look the part (at least to a woman’s eyes) and promise to solve all their problems.
I agree with your post about women voters and think there is substance behind it.
Despite what some on this site think, there is no special conspiracy to elect Mitt Romney. The bottom line is that Mitt is likely the most electable against Obama and most all the reputable polls show that.
Now, one of the reasons he is, goes to women voters. With the disintegration of the family unit, we now have many, many more single parent households run by women than there were 40 years ago.
Many of those women rely on benefits of the ever growing welfare state, or if they don’t, they like the idea of that safety net being there if they need it.
That group is not going to vote for a heavy duty conservative in a general election. They just aren’t.
All the polling shows that GOP candidates are going to win white men overwhelmingly. The election is going to be fought in the middle, and women voters will be a huge part of it.
When we talked about Reagan Democrats back in the 80’s, that basically included a lot of the world war two generation and their spouses. The Reagan democrats are now essentially deceased. And there aren’t many female equivalents to them in the current day.
Freepers can jump up and down about how they want a really super conservative candidate. That person is going to have a hard time winning a general election based on the current makeup of the country. This isn’t 1984 anymore unfortunately. I wish it were.
