Poll shows big shift to McCain among white women. http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-general/20080909/NEWS-USA-POLITICS-WOMEN-DC/ I was going to start a new thread, but it's more appropriate here. Thanks for illustrating the point!
Yeah, it is looking bad. Obama and Biden really ought to just throw in the towel now. It isn't like there is anything else that could happen in between now and Nov. 4 that could likely change these polls one way or the other. Besides, we always elect the next president based on national polling anyways and not state-by-state. Oh well, there is always 2012... but only if we are all still here that is and the Mayans weren't correct. With McCain at the helm for 4 years you never know.
I hated to equate her with either really because she gives a bad name to both pigs and dogs based on her environmental record. Anyone who supports killing wolves from helicopters so that there are more moose to shoot is really beyond crazy. I've never understood the Republican mantra of "Pro-Life" when they are currently the party of Pro-War and Anti-Environment. Seems like they have a very narrow definition of Life to me.
In terms of love of government pork, Palin is certainly an oinker. Alaska is just one big piggy sucking on the government's, um, you know...
