“I was talking this afternoon with another teacher about the election. We were walkin down the hallway when I mentioned that the PUMA’s may be able to save McCain. She smiled at me and said, I am a PUMA, and there is no way I am voting for Obama.”
I had thought the PUMAs were going to vote en masse for McCain/Palin, but apparently not. I mean think about it: if we got 9 million of those 18M Hillary voters, we’d be seeing better poll numbers.
Then I realized that a lot of women get pretty “catty” when it comes to supporting beautiful/successful women.
Remember that many of HIllary supporters were aging pant-suit-wearing women who saw themselves in Hillary, but don’t identify with a Palin-type hottie who’s smart and accomplished. In fact they are competitive with her. So I think we can’t expect to get an overwhelming influx of HIllary women voting for McCain Palin - as much as I would hope...
I saw a woman in the store today with a McCain/Palin shirt. I then looked again and saw she had a a female partner; both of them had that Rachel Maddow mullet. Yes, lesbians for McCain! I almost couldn’t believe it.
I saw about 3 or 4 more McCain shirts, too. There was only one Obama button, and that person was African-American.
And there are about 3-4 million of them, which is crucial in Battleground states.
