That said, the men have to leave this alone - it will backfire on them. This is a job for Clinton, Pelosi, Sibelius, etc. - they've worked too hard against sometimes daunting odds, to have their efforts mocked with the designation of a totally unqualified candidate. It's an insult to them and an insult to any thinking voter. I would have been disgusted with a Lieberman or Romney, but on the basis of their politics, not their unsuitability. Teezy, you really should find another site to post things like that. This is a forum for serious discussion, not insults. happyBD is spot on.

Like anyone ever heard of her. And why are women suppose to vote only based on the organ between someone's legs? insulting. who would pay any attention to a Palin poll taken one day after her being picked?

The numbers on independent women are more worrisome, as they tend to split 50-50 for the GOP and Democrats. Suburban married women, which are a key independent group, actually lean a little to the GOP in most close elections, but if the gap becomes wide then Obama could have some trouble, even if Palins strong social conservative views help him keep Hillary Democrats into the fold. Of course, that McCain was heavily leaning towards Lieberaman and seems to have went to Palin at the last second shows how impulsive as well as how much of a gamble McCain is making. If the "troopergate" explodes into a finding of unethical conduct, it will be big trouble for McCain. If Palin fails to attract large numbers of Hillary Democrats, then that is a problem too. Even if the GOP can be sucessful with independent women, could Palin also lower the GOP's share of the vote among independent men? I think the first indication of what happens will during the GOP convention.

Now if we see McCain's favorables rise over the next couple of days, then we could infer that Palin's favorables are improving McCains.
