Do you know any women that will be voting for McCain?

[AlCzervik]

i don't so far, my sister was a big Hillary Clinton fan, she's not voting for McCain, my 2 wingnut sil's both do not like McCain at all, both voting for Obama, both voted for Bush last 2 times---don't ask. My 3 best friends, 2 politically active, one not are all voting for Obama and my step mother is also voting for him.

1. I'll check with my conservative sister this weekend.

And she'll probably vote for him, regardless of what I have to say. Whenever I raise an issue, her response tends to be, "How do you have any time to pay attention to any of these things?"

But as far as the women I interact with on a daily basis, all of them have been for Obama since Day 1.

2. There is almost an entire department of anti-Obama/Republican women where I work

When I went over to their department the other day to make some copies, they enthusiastically gave me a Thomas Sowell hit piece on Obama that one of their husbands had given her to give to me. This was the day before Hillary Clinton officially endorsed Obama. My first thought (which I told my boss when I came back to my department) was "They are giving me articles again..They must be worried!". :evilgrin:

5. i used to work at an office with an area of four unpleasant busy bodies, i used to call

their cube farm The Bay of pigs.

8. The ones I was talking about are actually pretty nice, but their politics appear to be right-wing

They are mostly senior citizens, so it could be a generational thing too. The husband has sent articles before, and it seems to always happen when Obama's got some momentum.

[MadMaddie]

3. This is good news.

[Bobbieo]

4. His wife - Cindy McCain?

[jody]

6. I know several who will vote for McCain but they would have voted for HC.

[mucifer]

10. you think they might change their minds?

[jody]

21. I don't think so. n/t

[Mz Pip]

40. Hopefully they will spend

as much time checking out Senator McCain, talking to his supporters, reading up on his positions as they did with Hillary. It's hard to imagine that anyone who supported Hillary would vote for McCain if they have spent any time at all checking into his positions on the issues.

[ninja8590]

12. Unfortunately there's some of those at my work also

...all women ages 40 and up.

7. Not after I tell them he left his first wife after a horrible car accident cause she gained wieght

[Paranoid Pessimist]

9. Quite a few

My parents live in northern Arizona. They retired white people and all their friends are enthusiastic about McCain. He's their kind of guy. There's really no arguing with them.

[RazBerryBeret]

11. unfortunately....

my mother-in-law.
she also voted 4 bush both times.

I've given up on her.
the worst part---it's not an informed vote.
(but then it couldn't be, could it???)

[AlCzervik]

19. my sil surprised me but her son is in Iraq, 3rd tour and i think the whole 100 year thing

just sent her over the edge. She lives an Amelia island florida in a community with a lot of retired military folks, i'd love to ask her about her neighbors.

[RazBerryBeret]

20. I'd be interested in the opinions of the retired military folks too.

I had thought they would back McCain, but that was before he voted against the GI bill.

[Mooney]

13. No.

[bridgit]

14. hm let's see lemme think about it no!

[kerry-is-my-prez]

15. Two Democrats and one Repub who would have voted for Hillary.

n/t

[yardwork]

16. No. I don't know anyone who admits to supporting McCain.

I think that there might be one person in my office of several hundred who will vote for McCain, but she's an extreme fundamentalist right-winger who believes that global warming is a liberal myth. She never votes for any Democrat ever.

In contrast, another coworker - a lifelong Republican - voted for Obama in the primary and plans to vote for him in the GE. She's an older white woman. She thinks that Obama is wonderful.

[Colobo]

17. So far, no.

[JVS]

18. Yeah.

A neighbor who is a staunch GOPer

[grasswire]

22. my sister -- a librarian

She thinks McCain looks crazy, but really likes his life story. She would never vote for a Clinton but has come to a "grudging respect" for Hillary's toughness and energy. She would never vote for Obama. She'll vote for McCain.

[SergeyDovlatov]

23. Exit polls showed the repub women favoring most belicous candidates

I don't remember what state it was, but exit polls showed

McCain was geting 19% women, 11% men
Ron Paul was getting 3% women 10% men

[LordJFT]

24. they loved the Huckster too

[Electric Flag]

25. Yes, I know some conservative women who will vote for McCain

But they're far from crazy about him. I don't know anybody who is that.

[MrSlayer]

26. No. I don't know anyone at all who is voting McCain.

Even my right wing brother is voting Obama.

[lmbradford]

27. I have 2 friends who are....

They respect him as a military hero.....and they think that Obama is a muslin b/c they both recieved that stupid email and I cannot convince them that it isn't true. Even with the reverend wright stuff, they think he is playacting this religion to fool us all b/c he is a terrorist.


Unbelievable......the Oklahoma people are still frightened....Terror! Terror! Terror! I can't believe I live here sometimes.

[Indenturedebtor]

37. They don't really think he's a muslim. They just don't want to say they don't like "Them Negroes"

I don't know anyone who is admittedly voting for McBush. Of course I work from home now so I don't have to mix with pukes if I don't want to... And I don't.

Oh wait, I'm sure my neighbor will. They're fundies. Why even bother :shrug:

[WinkyDink]

28. Probably my in-laws. Texan. Evangelical. Rich.

[SteppingRazor]

29. Of course.

Almost my entirely family (except me, of course) is Republican, ranging from mildly conservative to dedicated Rush Limbaugh aficionado. We don't talk politics much, suffice to say.

[Beacool]

30. I know plenty of them and they are not all Republicans either. n/t

[crankychatter]

31. yeah but their not Democrats, so they don't count - nt

[Vinca]

32. IMHO, most women voting for McCain don't know his stand on abortion,

healthcare and equal pay for women. He's gone way off the deep end on abortion, wanting to ban it even for rape, incest or life of the mother. He's vetoed SCHIP for kids and his no plan healthcare plan will probably increase the rolls of the uninsured by 150 million people. As for equality in the workplace for women, he's more of a Stepford Wife kind of guy.

[Hoof Hearted]

35. The court could overturn it now, if they wanted.

[Vinca]

38. Very doubtful it would fly without 1 more reich wing justice. nt

[dchill]

33. In a word, nu-uh.

[Hoof Hearted]

34. I know many. Dozens, unfortunately, who will vote McCain.

[Skittles]

36. yes, several, and others who are not voting n/t

[kentuck]

39. Oh, absolutely!

Many.
