Obama Doesn't Believe Polls Showing Women Voters Flocking to McCain-Palin
September 09, 2008 12:42 PM
At a press availability this afternoon in Dayton, Ohio, ABC News asked Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., if -- given the recent 20-point swing among white women towards Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll -- he feels the addition of Gov. Sarah Palin to the GOP ticket has attracted women specifically because of her gender, whether Obama regrets not naming a woman to his ticket as his running mate, and what he can do to woo those women voters back?
First, Obama expressed skepticism about the poll.
"You know I just think that the notion that people are swinging back and forth in the span of a few weeks, or a few days, this wildly generally isn't borne out," Obama said. "These are the same polls that had me 20 down last Summer that have swung wildly throughout this process."
Second, Obama said Palin had attracted a lot of attention and, among conservatives, excitement -- but he didn't think gender played factor.
"There is no doubt that Gov. Palin attracted a lot of attention this week," Obama said. "She's been on the minds of all of you, and as a consequence has been before the American people constantly throughout the week, and has brought excitement to the Republican party, there is no doubt about that."
Obama said the race is far from over, and that issues would ultimately beat out personality.

Using either of these, he is doomed!

“Women are leaving Obama for McCain/Palin.
Nah-Nah-Nah, my hands are covering my ears...I can’t hear you..nah-nah-nah....
I disagree... because she has personality and he has issues.
Keep it up Barry!
His hubris is his greatest weakness.
Your support appears to be a mile wide and a micron deep.
Most of us red blooded American women are not interested in sharia law and burkas, Hussein.
“It doesn’t hurt at all” said the man with the gangrenous leg.
Obama is gonna learn that the attention span of the youth vote is very short. It is the old farts who are reliable voters.
What he meant was "I just can't get her off of my mind - she's driving me crazy - I can't sleep or eat, I can't even think straight - damn her!!!"
I dare Barry to come out and genuinely espouse his issues in the authentic way that Palin does.
He’d get about 25% of the vote if he did.
Leftists cannot be honest about what they believe and expect to win.
That’s the appeal of Palin, everyone, even those on the left, understand that she is genuine, and presenting a genuine face.
Obama believes that women just care about abortion, abortion, abortion — as though it is something they do daily and look forward to, like a trip to Starbucks.
What a dolt.
HEY ! Barack is right. Heck with the polls
I know all I need to know to know when I look at Obama right now.
He is stunned. confused. so out of sync. So off message. I think he has totally lost his message. he appears to be lacking confidence. He is in full blown “Michael Dukakis mode”. He is smart enough to know that he is trouble.
you can see it in his eyes
Barry: “Why makes you think voters’ support would be influenced by the candidate’s sex or skin color?”
I spoke with a young professional woman in a check out line this morning and she is going to be out of the country on Nov. 4 and has already mailed in her absentee ballot and voted McCain/Palin.
This IS true for those that have had abortions and cannot psychologically afford to have any reminder in our society as to how WRONG they were when they chose to kill their babies.
Obamadon also blogs in KOS. Pretty much that proves he lives in a conspiracy theory fantasy world
Obama’s women problems continue, granted we all should wait for a couple of polls to come out to really cement the trend into Election 2008.
If it sticks, Obama is in deep deep trouble, his narcissim may do him in yet.
