They get their news from Andrea Mitchell and the View nags and Oprah.

You are flat-out wrong. You could easily follow the link above and learn just how wrong.

Hillary Clinton Forum - Palin Thread

The women posting at the above link are long-term Hillary supporters, some are moderators at that site. They are incensed at the Obama/media treatment of Hillary. From what I have read there, party affiliation is much less important than principles. We can all learn some things in this election cycle, and we can learn to work together with our former opponents for the good of the country. That is what Governor Palin did in the Alaska political arena, and 80+% of the people of Alaska approve of her (highest of all governors).

The former Hillary supporters are politically active, meaning they have effective personal and social networks they have put to good use in many previous election seasons. They have joined the Sen. McCain/Gov. Palin movement, and they are welcome and valuable assets to the campaign.

We have seen such vicious and desperate mud-slinging over the three-day holiday weekend simply because the Democrat and their media machine got blind-sided with this addition to the Republican ticket.

If you are putting any credence in the liberal polls showing Obama at 50%, you should look at where you are getting your news, look at their motives, and recognize the fact that this is a political campaign, and the vilest of political activities are to be expected. CNN and MSNBC, et.al., are simply extensions of the Obama campaign.

I am confident that the voters of America will overwhelming vote for Senator McCain and Governor Palin this November.

I have checked the link and it is anecdotal evidence. Until it shows up in the good polls, I won’t believe it, your proclamations notwithstanding. I deal in facts, not wishful thinking.

I mostly look at Rasmussen, who called the 2004 and 2006 elections dead on. He has proven himself both accurate and an honest broker in the polling biz. He has Obama up by 5 right now and also says that recent movement toward Obama has been among Democrats, i.e., Hillary voters.

Some PUMAs are hardcore and will vote for McCain. I’ve never denied that, just like a few disgruntled conservatives will vote for Bob Barr. But so far there are no facts, as opposed to wishful thinking and anecdotal evidence, to support the notion that the McCain/Palin ticket will attract large numbers of Democrats or female independents.

We’ll have to wait and see.
