Shift, baby, shift.

'Cuda!

By 0bama not picking Clinton, and by McCain picking Palin- women can see for themselves which candidate is not afraid of a strong woman.

racist white women

There's only one poll that matters, and that's the actual election. Anything else is just educated guesses and predictions which can (and often do) change wildly before the big day.

I pay polls little to no heed.

We prefer candidates who don't talk about us one way in Scranton and in another in San Francisco.

Look for the Left to issue the standard, specious accusation of racism.

Pay(lin)back's a bitch.

Yeah, I think this is independent women (no intended song reference).

Palin would scare away Hilary voters, not attract them. (Since McCain's political stance is closer to Clinton than what Palin is.)

So twenty percent of the Obamanation's female support were from 'extremist' white women? Who knew?

Say, where are the white women at?

You are right to do so. Polls are generally inaccurate (generally tilted leftward, too).

However, even without polls, it's obvious just from the general atmosphere in the country that there has been a huge short toward Palin among women.

re: #7 agtiger

Agreed, the only thing they are really good for at this point is observing the ravings of cosmic despair amongst the believers at DK and DU.

Senator 0bama- we women aren't stupid. We actually can tell when we're being used and exploited. There will always be a percentage of women who don't mind, or enjoy the exploitation for some twisted reason, but the majority of us have self respect. We're attracted to men who aren't afraid of a strong, intelligent woman. We see how you really feel about us and you can consider these women's votes as their Dear John letter to you. Buh-bye!

Obama previously was embroiled in controversy regarding Hamas after Ahmed Yousuf, the terror group's chief political adviser in the Gaza Strip, said in an interview in April with WND and with WABC radio that he "hopes" Obama becomes president.

"We like Mr. Obama, and we hope that he will win the elections," said Yousef.

Actually, this isn't really shocking or unusual. Terrorists will seize upon legitimate or semi-legitimate excuses for what they're doing to appeal to the public. This is why an act of terrorism planned for months and months can be played off as a "response" to the latest thing Israel has done to insult tha Palestinians. Anything can be used as a grievance. This is why either solving these grievances or convincingly point out that the terrorists are in fact making things worse is an important part of a counter-insurgency and counter-terrorist strategy.
This, in turn, puts you in danger of causing a "mouse that roared" problem whereby areas that have terrorism get more aid and assistance than peaceful areas with more problems and more needs. Which is perhaps why Gaza is the highest per-capita recipient of international aid even though there certainly are areas with less material wealth than there.

I wouldn't go so hard on Obama on that quote alone.

But thinking that the grievances and poverty is what really drives terrorism is a mistake. It provides nourisment to it, but is not the real cause.

A 20 point shift is huge if this is true, that's the election right there.

CHANGE!

Did Obama just figure he had the feminist vote since they didn't care how Bill treated women? The way they act they don't seem like they care much about how the babes feel about this or that.

Kind of an odd way to treat a major dem constituency.

However, I suppose he pretty much did have the gals sewn up before Sarahcuda came on the scene. Even if they were angry, they'd have voted for him. Or not voted at all, which would help McCain, but not as much as him actually getting their votes.

Must have. It's what happens when your actions are based primarily on what is Politically Correct and Expedient. So many "protected" groups, it was just a matter of time before they all started stepping on each others toes.

There hasn't been much in the way of good news for the Dems as of late, is there?

Recap -
- Olberman and "ooh my leg" Matthews outed by their own employer as political hacks

- McCain beating Obama in the polls - noting McCain got a bigger bump than Obama, AND McCain has also achieved the above 50% mark that we were told last week was a big damn deal (that was then...)

- Biden reveals he does, in fact, live in a fantasy world where he was the catalyst for Iraq success. I hear in this world Gore invented the internet and discovered climate change in the laboratory located in his basement.

- Biden and Obama voted for the stinkin' bridge, but of course they wouldn't have if Sarah wasn't initially for it (Biden's next claim, no doubt).

- Obama is now facing female white flight even after the other big O stopped Sarah from reaching out to women (I mean if Oprah says she doesn't rate an interview, how the heck are these women finding OUT about her?)

I hope this list continues to grow!

re: #129 solomonpanting

The Dems are going to have to register a lot more dead, foreigners, and felons to pull this one out of their jackasses.

How big is the youth-vote estimated to be?
How are the demographics?

re: #141 Nevergiveup

The lights are gonna be on all night down at the NYT figuring out how to spin that one?

I think that is exactly what all the "women aren't going to be fooled into voting for Sarah" for the last ten days or so has been. They must have known that they are bleeding white career women other than the really radical pro-abortion crowd that doesn't have two collective children between them.

If you think they've been fighting desperately now, this will drive them over the brink. Watch out for total political hysteria and many more attempts to manufacture gaffes and discord. They MSM will be going balls to the walls trying to create a "macaque moment" for McCain and anyone associated with the Republican party.

Be on your guard all.

You know, Obama's defeat is going to be hard rain falling on the Left. In backing a guy with zero executive experience, they have been exposed as elevating his race above his resumé, i.e. as racist to the core.

Americans expect us to go to Washington for the right reasons, and not just to mingle with the right people.

re: #147 callahan23

Question:
How big is the youth-vote estimated to be?
How are the demographics?

Take it for what it's worth:

April 24, 2008

The IOP poll showed that among young voters, Obama would best McCain by a 50 percent to 29 percent margin, with four percent going for independent Ralph Nader and 17 percent undecided. If Clinton were the nominee, she would beat McCain by a 41 percent to 34 percent margin, with seven percent supporting Nader and 18 percent undecided.

If this is like previous elections, the Dems garner more of the youth vote, but I believe the turnout is the lowest of all demographics.

re: #125 marsl

Sorry, no guns allowed in Portugal (except for self-defense and only for exceptions).

But i have the police telephone number.... do you think that will scare criminals away?

What can you clarify this statement? Curious. I know the Brazilians recently defeated an attempt to eliminate their right to firearms. The antigun forces outspent the pro gun by a zillion to one wiht Soros money but they still lost. It was one of the few if only victories for RKBA outside the US recently so even though the Brazilians have a somewhat socialist president I still have to give them kudos for that.

re: #173 NoSubmission

Sarah Palin is a real feminist. The radfems hate her because she succeeded without them. There are a lot of women who have been sold a whole lot of feminist propaganda. Palin, being pro-life and having 5 kids kinda beats down the designer kid at 39, abortion is birth control crowd. I'm sure there are a lot of women breathing a sigh of relief that there is a women out there with kids and a career and she doesn't need a girlfriend, a buzzcut and hiking boots to do it.

Of course they can't stand her. Here is what she said in her Time Magazine interview August 29th:

Where do you see yourself going? Staying on in Alaska. Washington?

You know, I don't know. I knew early on that the smartest thing for me to do was to work hard, do the best that I can, make wise decisions based on good information in front of me. And then put my life, get myself on a path that could be dedicated to God and ask Him what I should next. That will be the position I will be in as long as I'm on earth — that is, seeking the right path that God would have laid out for me.

What's your religion?

Christian.

Any particular...?

No. Bible-believing Christian.

What church do you attend?

A non-denominational Bible church. I was baptized Catholic as a newborn and then my family started going to non-denominational churches throughout our life.

McCain's surge: After convention, he catches Obama

By John Whitesides, Political Correspondent

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate John McCain got a bounce in opinion polls from his convention and now runs even or slightly ahead of Democratic rival Barack Obama with eight weeks to go in the White House race.

McCain's surprise choice of conservative Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate also sparked a burst of grass-roots Republican enthusiasm, polls showed, an encouraging sign for party strategists worried about turnout in the November 4 election.
[Snip]

Three polls taken since the Republican convention ended on Thursday show McCain with a lead of 1 to 4 percentage points -- within the margin of error -- and two others show the race dead even.
Another poll released on Monday, by the Washington Post/ABC News, gave Obama a 1-point edge among registered voters and McCain a 2-point edge among likely voters -- both within the margin of error.
A USA Today/Gallup poll published on Monday showed the number of Republicans who said they were more enthusiastic than usual about voting was around 40 percent in August, compared to about 60 percent for Democrats.

Since the pick of Palin, a staunch anti-abortion and pro-gun conservative, the number of Republicans who are more enthusiastic about voting jumped to 60 percent, with Democrats at 67 percent."

Hmmm - whatever happened to that poll Charles showed us the other day, and another that Jammie has in the spin-off links above, showing McCain with an 8-10 point lead among LIKELY VOTERS?!

Pit bull > Chicago bull

Via Michelle M another Michelle O gem......

Obama continued with talk about Biden when she said, “What you learn about Barack from his choice is that he’s not afraid of smart people.” The crowd softly chuckled.

Anyone who can rhyme 'Biden' is gifted in a supernatural sort of way.

The media made it a fatal gaff for Jim Webb.

Here's a good sign:

[Link: hotair.com...]

Party affiliation gap is down to a single point now! I think that McCain needs to hammer on the Donkey in charge meme, to counter the 3rd term for Bush meme of the other side. With Congressional approval well below (almost half) the freezing point, I cannot imagine that more than 1 in 10 voters would want Pelosi and Reid to have a rubber stamp in the WH.

re: #202 Ojoe

with nitromethane fuel

Posted sometime back ... seems appropriate once again ...

Definitely something to think about......

"DEFINITION OF ACCELERATION"

One top fuel dragster 500 cubic inch Hemi engine makes more horsepower
than the first 4 rows of stock cars at the Daytona 500.

Under full throttle, a dragster engine consumes 1-1/2 gallons of nitro
methane per second; a fully loaded 747 consumes jet fuel at the same
rate with 25% less energy being produced.

A stock Dodge Hemi V8 engine cannot produce enough power to drive the
dragster's supercharger.

With 3,000 CFM of air being rammed in by the supercharger on overdrive,
the fuel mixture is compressed into a near-solid form before ignition.

Cylinders run on the verge of hydraulic lock at full throttle.

At the stoichiometric (stoichiometry: methodology and technology by
which quantities of reactants and products in chemical reactions are
determined) 1.7:1 air/fuel mixture of nitro methane, the flame front
temperature measures 7,050 deg F.

Nitro methane burns yellow. The spectacular white flame seen above the
stacks at night is raw burning hydrogen, dissociated from atmospheric
water vapor by the searing exhaust gases.

Dual magnetos supply 44 amps to each spark plug. This is essentially the
output of an arc welder in each cylinder.

Spark plug electrodes are totally consumed during a pass. After halfway,
the engine is dieseling from compression, plus the glow of exhaust
valves at 1,400 deg F. The engine can only be shut down by cutting the
fuel flow.

If spark momentarily fails early in the run, unburned nitro builds up in
the affected cylinders and then explodes with sufficient force to blow
cylinder heads off the block in pieces or split the block in half.

In order to exceed 300 mph in 4.5 seconds, dragsters must accelerate an
average of over 4G's. In order to reach 200 mph (well before
half-track), the launch acceleration approaches 8G's.

Dragsters reach over 300 miles per hour before you have completed
reading this sentence.

Top fuel engines turn approximately 540 revolutions from light to light!
Including the burnout, the engine must only survive 900 revolutions
under load.

The redline is actually quite high at 9,500 rpm.

Assuming all the equipment is paid off, the crew worked for free, and
for once NOTHING BLOWS UP, each run costs an estimate $1,000.00 per
second.

The current top fuel dragster elapsed time record is 4.441 seconds for
the quarter mile (10/05/03, Tony Schumacher). The top speed record is
333.00 mph (533 km/h) as measured over the last 66' of the run (09/28/03
Doug Kalitta).

You are driving the average $140,000 Lingenfelter "twin-turbo" powered
Corvette Z06. Over a mile up the road, a top fuel dragster is staged and
ready to launch down a quarter mile strip as you pass. You have the
advantage of a flying start. You run the 'Vette hard up through the
gears and blast across the starting line and pass the dragster at an
honest 200 mph. The "tree" goes green for both of you at that moment.
The draster launches and starts after you.

You keep your foot down hard, but you hear an incredibly brutal whine
that sears your eardrums and within 3 seconds, the dragster catches and
passes you. He beats you to the finish line, a quarter mile away from
where you just passed him. Think about it; from a standing start, the
dragster had spotted you 200 mph and not only caught you, but nearly
blasted you off the road when he passed you within a mere 1,320 foot
long race course.

That folks is acceleration...

Hmmm .. ya think 0bama is hearing that brutal whine?

re: #218 So?

Agree with me or not, I think Oprah's snubbing of Palin has a lot to do with this.

Well, this shouldn't be a shock. I'm sure this is what the MSM feared.

OF COURSE Sarah Palin appeals to a broad spectrum of women (not just white, either). Why wouldn't she? She's an all-American success story that inspires pride in the freedom and opportunity this country provides. She's obviously a smart, well-spoken, competent leader, who also equally obviously loves her family.

The fact that she and her family have received left-wing ritual abuse at the hands of the media has probably helped rally women to her cause as well.

Lefty rants to the contrary notwithstanding, it's a bit of a leg-tingling thrill to watch the country vote with its feet and affirm that one does not have to believe in killing babies to be a true feminist.

re: #218 So?

Agree with me or not, I think Oprah's snubbing of Palin has a lot to do with this.

Nonsense- this has everything to do with Sarah appealing to women just like her- hard working, American moms. She appeals to American women in her own right.

re: #232 Mich-again

Obama may have overplayed his hand, thinking he could get to the White House without Hillary as his running mate.

It was a choose wisely scene. he chose poorly.

She must of paid attention to that traitorous witch Hanoi Jane.

re: #237 So?

Women deserting Obama.

I don't think those women were ever FOR Obama in the first place. I think that the spinmeisters shoved them all over into the Obama column back when Hillary got the boot and they have been spinning ever since, first that PUMA was just a few disaffected people and then that women were never, ever, going to be fooled into supporting Sarah Palin because she is "anti-abortion" - and that is the term they are using.

That all depends on what "well" means. Sort of like "is".

How long before Obama says to McCain, "You know what, why don't we pencil in a few townhall debates after all?"

He knows he'd be dead meat in a townhall debate.

re: #240 rightymouse

He was in this to win the primary and the nomination. Then he was stuck, methinks, because choosing Hillary and winning the election on those terms meant putting up with her and Bill for four years at least.

How/why Biden was chosen is beyond me. But I am grateful for his horrible lack of judgement. :)

I have thought right along that Biden was "chosen" because the other candidates declined. Win or lose, being Obama's running mate might very well be political suicide.

Now it's time to work on some coattails.

I don't think that will happen. It's a McCain strength, and 0bama cannot afford to allow McCain to play to his strengths in any way.
