But now, after a chaotic introductory week that sparked national debates on McCain's judgment, Palin's experience and even her teenage daughter's pregnancy, the initial signs are not entirely positive for the reinvigorated Republican ticket.
Interviews with some two dozen women here after Palin's convention speech found that these voters were not swayed by the fiery dramatic speeches or compelling personal biographies that marked both the Republican and Democratic conventions. Instead, they were thinking about the price of milk -- nearly $5 a gallon -- or the healthcare coverage that many working families here cannot afford.
Even if they admire Palin's attempt to juggle political ambition, an infant son with Down syndrome and a pregnant unwed daughter, these women say that maternal grit is not enough to win their votes.

This is a sample barely more mathematically impressive than "my wife told me..."

It isn’t the working class women. It is working class men and the Republican base who are attracted to Palin.
Pollster John Zogby: “Clearly, Palin is helping the McCain ticket. She has high favorability numbers, and has unified the Republican Party. The striking thing here in this poll is that McCain has pulled ahead among Catholics by double-digits. On the other hand, Palin is not helping with likely voting women who are not aligned with either political party. The undecided independent women voters decreased this week from 15% to 7%, but those women went to Obama. Palin is also helping among men, conservatives, notably with suburban and rural voters, and with frequent Wal-Mart shoppers, who tend to be “values” voters who like a good value for their money.”

If not random, it has even less validity.

Won’t make much of a difference in a week. By then McCain will be ahead of Obama in most of the polls out there.

"Here"? Where is "here"? There at the LA Times news desk? Ha! Might as well conduct your 24-woman survey over at NOW or at the local ACLU branch, or maybe at Code Pink. Yeah, I'm sure they got a really random sampling...

What is the margin of error? + or - 22.5 %. Fer cryin out loud.
It is comedic to watch the newspapers, magazines, network and cable TV stations DO ANYTHING to bash her.
Outlandish stories, wild accusations, an Oprah snuff...the Liberals will do anything for Obama, even compromise their journalistic ethics, if they ever had any.
The Indonesian must be really in full poopy-pants mode.
Maybe the surveyed the burqua crowd at a Mosque.
They will vote for Hussein.
Some science there, LA Times.
‘Two dozen women here.’
What the....?
These are the kind of stories you get when you drag a $1 bill through an MSM journalism center these days.
BTW...Do any of these idiots who complain about the high cost of things ever look at who they are voting for in their state?
