We lost single women, young women badly. Goes to show women are catty. I knew tons of chicks that wouldn’t vote for her not because of issues— but because they didn’t like her accent or thought she was too bubbly. Catty.
Thomas Sowell is a beacon of hope in the conservative community. He would not compliment Sarah if he did not really believe what he is writing.
The vast majority of us have never had to face the world in such a way that it made us grow up. Witness the current spectacle. Anyone with a brain cell should be horrified, but most Americans are little more than mildly annoyed.
The more things change...
It is worse than that. Single women elected Obama. If they would have split evenly, we would have won. I am far from convinced it is because they voted against Palin.
I think they voted for Obama because:
He is handsome and young.
He stood for more freebees from the government, and many single women have substituted the government for a man in their lives.
Single women, as a group, are less sophisticated about politics than any other group, IMHO.

I can attest to that. I know women who just didn’t like her voice. Oh my, how dreadful to be a woman in public office with a strong, unwavering voice!

A lot of that here too, sad to say.
More than that: she is an existential threat to the childless/husbandless/middle-aging career women, because she is not only beautiful, but successful in a man’s profession, with a hunky husband and kids. But also because she blasphemed by choosing not to abort a down’s syndrome child. She had to fail, because only her failure would save their self-image. The irony is that if they were ever to meet her most of them would like her. That doesn’t go for the gays, who hate strong women, and especially those who profess Christianity.
