How do you come by that one?

It's right in the article -- the 2008 share of the "women's vote" dropped off 4% from the 2004 share of the "women's vote".

You are still missing the point.
McCain had a low share of the women's vote in polls BEFORE he nominated Gov Palin.
Gov Plain pushed his overall poll numbers UP above Hussein's, only for McCain ti drive his numbers back down again, with his erractoc performance when the markets crashed.

You're comparing Bush to McCain, and projecting Sarah as the one to blame. The base never liked McCain, but thousands showed up at every rally to see Sarah.
