I have always maintained that Sarah would make some real inroads among women if she was the very first woman to win a major party nomination in her own right. However, more and more I'm coming to see that is not the case.
A third of the women in America are sluts who will NEVER vote for anyone who wants to put even the mildest restraints on baby-killing. A third of the women in America are lazy welfare chiselers who are married to the government and will NEVER vote for anyone who wants to derail the gravy train. A third of the women in America are ugly wallflowers who never outgrew high school and will NEVER vote for any confident, attractive woman with a handsome and manly husband. Obviously there is some overlap amng these categories, but put together they are a clear majority of women who will turn out in droves to vote against her. Ann Coulter may have been right about the folly of womens' suffrage!
That said, I agree with the poster who points out that a 52-44 percent lead among registered (not likely) voters two years out is pretty cold comfort for Obama.
Sad but mostly true. Palin has no problem with most men voters who are not brainwashed lefties. Her problem is women.
I would guess at least 50% of women will not vote for her for all sorts of weird reasons - abortion, she is too pretty, jealous she has a nice husband, her hair is too nice, they want the handsome guy like Mitt (LOL!), they want a “strong” man. It really is baffling.
