Interesting about the pro-choice voter and her pro-choice daughter being excited about Palin.
I think that the liberals pander to voters in some ways. For example, it’s an insulting simplistic pander to assume that women voters are concerned mainly or only with abortion rights. It’s a simplistic pander to assume that black voters are only concerned with race or affirmative action type programs.
So these women, who don’t agree with Sarah on the abortion question, will give her due consideration.
John Kerry said that women voters won’t be seduced by Sarah Palin on the Republican ticket. He’s right that LIBERAL DEMOCRAT women won’t vote for McCain/Palin in big numbers. But most women aren’t the rigid liberal / radical type.
And to think that Democratic operatives such as Mark Penn from Hillary’s campaign expected to get lots of support from Republican women if Hillary was the Democrat nominee. They would have expected Republican women to cross over and support the sisterhood of the traveling pantsuit in the person of Hillary, yet deny that anything of the sort could happen with Democrat women crossing over to vote McCain/Palin.
Will be intersting to see where this all goes.

Everything John Kerry knows about seducing women voters you could put in a thimble, and you'd still have enough room left over for everything that John Kerry knows about selecting an effective running mate.

A couple nights ago, a local TV station interviewed a lesbian couple in Oakland, CA, for their reactions to the Palin selection. Both women described themselves as "pro-choice Hillary supporters." Unbelievably (at least to me), both said that they were impressed with Palin and were leaning toward voting for McCain-Palin. Now, perhaps abortion is less of a concern among pro-choice lesbians than pro-choice heterosexual women because lesbians are naturally less likely to have unwanted pregnancies, but it was nonetheless interesting that these ladies were open to the idea of voting for McCain-Palin.

The real target is always states and not national polls.
We are left to analyze which states McCain’s calculus told him this would help in.

PRECISELY. And that’s why the MSM is so frightened. Gov. Palin may not appeal to radical fem libs but will appeal to many ordinary working moms. Which group is larger?
