There's hope yet ! 6 in 10 women voters "unimpressed" by Palin (Raw Story)
Edited on Sat Sep-06-08 11:38 AM by Journalgrrl
Please digg this article, and let's get this out there!

(snip)
Six in 10 women voters see McCain's choice of a female running mate as a calculated political decision rather than one based on Palin's experience and qualities, showed the poll conducted by the Garin-Hart-Yang Research Group.

Garin-Hart-Yang caters to a Democratic clientele. Claims the company's Web site: "Garin-Hart-Yang has a strong record of helping Democratic candidates win under the most difficult circumstances..."

(snip)


"When women voters learn that Palin opposes abortion even in cases of rape and incest, opposes stem cell research and, as governor, opposed funding for state pre-kindergarten programs... a majority say... (they) feel less favorable toward her," the poll showed.

Palin's scant experience as an elected official -- she was mayor of a small town for six years and has been governor of Alaska for less than two -- "squanders" McCain's advantage over Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama in terms of experience in office and readiness to lead, the women voters said.

...Without going into the plethora of skeletons in this woman's closet, the FACTS speak for themselves. She is the "Anit-Hillary"...
The issues are the core to this campaign, we WILL win because they have NOTHING to offer us but failed policies, environmental mayhem, war and god knows what else. :scared:

2. What the pudgy white men who run the GOP didn't realize
is how many women out there can see right through their nasty sisters.

You bet most of us aren't impressed. We've known that type since junior high PE classes and have the best reasons in the world to want to keep them the hell out of public office.

5. I agree that most of us know her "type"
but that may not be enough to help sway those who "like" her...

So as far as I am concerned, I will be really hammering the ISSUES
anti abortion, doesn't believe in global warming, hunts animals froim helocopters on goivt funds, lack of experience (big time!), add to this a husband that is in big oil, family hypocrisy (giving her own daughter a private choice, but denying that right to US!), an already quagmired career with investigations in corruption...etc

we need to make a "master list" of Mc Cain's and Palin's stance on issues and corruption ties, so we can just hand them out to folks who want to try and say they are "good for america" !
