Obama Gains Among Hillary Supporters
02 September 2008 9:43 am by Taylor Marsh
The Democratic convention appears to have helped solidify support for Barack
Obama among former Hillary Clinton supporters, with the percent saying they
will vote for Obama in November moving from 70% pre-convention to 81% after
the convention, and the percent certain to vote for Obama jumping from 47%
to 65%.
Since the pick of Sarah Palin happened, with McCain thinking that all Hillary
supporters need is a woman, regardless of experience, it’s likely these numbers
will continue to rise.
Rush made a huge mistake this morning, equating Palin with Clarence Thomas.
Oops. Not exactly the Republican you should compare a female vice presidential
candidate to, now is it. That he doesn’t understand why many women find Sarah
Palin insulting is a loss to him. But Rush pushing Palin is beyond laughable. This from a man calling professional reporters “info-babes” and “reporterettes.” So his criteria for women in power isn’t exactly the model. “She’s got it all,” Rush
opines. She has babies, then her husband takes care of them, Rush continued.
That’s fine. No one cares about her family issues. What most of us care about
is she wants to impose her “family values” on our families and our
daughters and sons. That matters. It’s about her deeply flawed policies. It’s
not personal.
