Palin would be an obvious pander.
Women are more concerned with national and economic security than seeing someone with similar genitalia on the ticket. Just ask Geraldine Ferraro.
Hillary’s voters won’t be won over with something as obtuse as offering a surrogate female. It won’t work for Obama and it won’t work for McCain. Hillary’s voters are loyal to the candidate because of their 16 year relationship with her, not simply because of her gender.

but technically you are a republican. I’m sure you don’t favor the monarchy unlike our conservative friends across the pond or governing by popular referendum.

It’s not about the women. It’s the guys. Vote for Palin because she’s hot.

We seem to get a lot of polling calls- I wonder if you accept one once you get put on a "good responder" list- and have split party registrations in our house (my wife never bothered to change hers from Dem to reflect her becoming more conservative). So, we get call from both sides and also "neutral" polls.
I took a call the other night (I don't remember who the outfit was but the questions centered on Obambi) where I identified myself as a Dem, was very likely to vote McCain, that the more I saw and heard about Obambi over the past week made me much less likely to vote for him, and that McCain had the better plan to deal with gas prices. So, perhaps I'm one of those in the poll...

If these numbers hold, and there is now reason to think they won't, barack mcgovern will get rolled. I believe the numbers will only get worse for the magic Negro because people now are beginning to get to know him. He seems to be suffering the same fate as the beast: the more voters got to know her, the less they like her.

McCain needs to keep this race
appearing close.
In 2004, my evangelical 40+-year-old brother and his wife registered and voted for the first time in their lives. They told me the same was true with several of their friends from church. The reason? The prospect of John Kerry becoming President was more than any of them could stomach. I suspect that those sentiments were considerably more widespread across this nation than you will ever read about in the lying Democrat "mainstream" press. That election year, 2004, saw the biggest voter turnout in history, by far.
Turnout could be even bigger this year as long as normal Americans believe that there is any possibility that Barack Hussein Obama could become the next President of the United States. Fortunately (and ironically!), the lying Democrat "mainstream" press is already doing McCain a huge favor in that regard by essentially anointing Obama President. As long as McCain remains healthy and on message, and doesn't do anything more idiotic than he's already done, he will win in a monumental landslide.

“The data shows that 43% of Democrats consider themselves politically liberal, 37% say theyre moderate, and 18% are conservative.”
That’s great, and I hope they vote for McCain. But, I could say that I’m the Pope, that doesn’t make it true.
No real conservative would belong to the party dedicated to the destruction of America’s greatness.

“..75% of Democrats are white. That would give just over 14% of Democrats voting for McCain.”
And giving up a minium of 14% of his base, barack mcgovern can win? I don’t think so.

I would be proud to vote for McCain and a conservative woman as VP. Choosing her would probably we the nail in the coffin for Obama and also a lot of feminine anger at the GOP.

If she’s the pick, McCain should probably announce first. If Obama picks a woman first then I’m worried he won’t get a bounce with democrat women. This way McCain will be view more as a trailblazer and a leader by picking first. Another minority on the ticket won’t help Obama with whites. A woman will definitely help him so this has to be countered decisively.

I hope these 30% are the Democrats that vote 5 times every election.

If it were Hillary they would lose lots of Obama supporters and potentially alienate a significant proportion of minority support, so they were to some extent stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Waa Hoo!
There are another 5 or 6 votes nationally.
