Sarah Palin, man magnet: McCain's veep pick is attracting men who backed Hillary & uniting GOP

[RamboLiberal]

Republican John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate was intended to lure women voters, but it's the guys who are actually getting hooked, new polls show.

One CNN survey this week found that 62% of men have a favorable opinion of Palin - nine points higher than women.

Similarly, 57% of men believe Palin is qualified to be vice president, compared with only 43% among women.

-----

One Rasmussen Survey found that 79% of conservatives have a favorable impression of Palin, a figure that drops to 43% among moderates. Likewise, conservatives are twice as likely as moderates to think she is qualified to be President, and five times more likely than liberals.

As a woman - grrrrr! To men voting for McPalin because of Palin - this is not the Playboy Girl of the month contest! This is for the frigging presidency and the lives of all of us in the U.S.

1. You can probably guess which head those 57% of

conservative men are thinking with. Not the one with hair on top.

27. Breakthrough for women

that after 5 kids (maybe 4, maybe 6, who knows) some men are viewing her with lust.

[polichick]

2. Just wait - as soon as all those hard-ons fade, so will she. :)

5. Anyone of them that stays excited all the way through November...

...had better consult a physician.

[madaboutharry]

3. What does this say about men?

Just asking.

[tomg]

10. It says that that particular

57% are confusing Vice President of the United States with a pole dancer who starts her act off imitating a "librarian." ( and, given Cheney and Palin, no disrespect intended to pole dancers).

4. In the NBC/WSJ poll released a couple of days ago, Obama's support among white men rose 9%.

Not sure what to believe but there's 50 days left to change minds.

[crim son]

6. Ah, one of the certainties of life: Death, taxes and

men thinking with their dicks. :grr:

[jillan]

7. See how they are - is there a poll on how many women are voting for Obama and Biden because they are

so hot?

Face it ladies - we have two very hot men on our ticket ;)
They are a woman magnet!

[polichick]

9. They sure are hot - an added bonus to being right on all the issues!

[samuraiguppy]

8. as a man, I could

never vote for her. I could do her though.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

11. Great, so if we run down the list of qualifying factors,

are we supposed to include fuckability?

Because from where I'm standing, it looks more like she's ready to fuck everybody over.

It's the female rendition of Dumbyass.

[NewJeffCT]

12. we're so shallow, us men

cute woman with glasses and, it's all over.

[WinkyDink]

13. With 5 kids?

[npk]

14. Clearly her beauty is only skin deep

From what I have read and seen she is filled with hate and disgust on the inside.

[ibegurpard]

16. umm...she's not that hot

physically I would say she's of average attractiveness.
Not someone that would turn heads but certainly pretty.

[npk]

18. Definately not hot

But she is attractive, at least on the outside.

[Cha]

17. She's about as attractive as a

pig with lipschtick.

[abumbyanyothername]

26. Agreed

But you know what they say . . . there's someone for everyone.

Thank God it's not her for me.

[hlthe2b]

15. Perhaps if we send them Porn DVDs in their newspapers on...

election day--problem solved.




(my contempt for these "dick-heads" is without limits, and clearly, "dick-head" IS the only name for them) :mad:

[TomClash]

19. I don't get it

I don't find her attractive at all.

[elkston]

20. It won't hold. After they bust their nuts and calm down ...

they'll take a closer look at her and some won't be as enthused.

[Zuiderelle]

21. Aww... it didn't work to say Hillary supporter women were going to McCain, because IT WAS NOT TRUE.

So, now they will go for the men. How funny.

[samuraiguppy]

22. I think her whole life

has been about "attracting" men. When we dig deeper I bet there are plenty of scandals there...

[anonymous171]

23. If that is so, why not play the sexism card?

Use the newest article about her hiring her friends and harassing her enemies to label her as a plotting, evil witch? Men don't like women like that, no matter how attractive.

Of course, that would be pretty evil.

[Zookeeper]

24. From the other blogs I've read, I simply can't believe that...

the same hateful, misogynist men who love Palin EVER supported Hillary Clinton!

[cliffordu]

25. Boner voters.

[progressivebydesign]

28. She's so average looking... but people believe someone is goodlooking if the media says so.

it's just a joke what some men find attractive -- frankly, I think the sudden male hornfest toward her is a backlash against Hillary. They want someone that looks and acts like a bimbo, it makes them feel virile.

I don't believe most polls.. regardless of who they favor. FIRST they told us that women were flocking to her, now people post here that men are instead.

Frankly, I'm bored with these breathless threads about how fucking popular Palin and mcCain are. Sometimes I think i've wandered onto a republican site. I miss the snarky and hostile old DUers!!!

[SweetieD]

29. How many attractive women do you see in Congress? I rest my case.

Men may think she's hot. She may have a high favorablity factor because of her attractiveness. But in the end men, especially men, feel that "hot" women are not smart. So while she may be favorable to some, I don't see that translating into votes.

[flamingdem]

30. Palin is their fantasy tomboy sister they never had

and a way to indirectly diss women and keep them in their place.

Not to mention, and more important, blacks.
