For some reason, every time I heard the left criticize her this week I kept thinking 'cat fight'. That photo was the best I could find. (You'd be amazed how much porn shows up when you google that).

As poor as Bush was with Katrina and despite other perceived failures, I find it hard to believe that more blacks dislike the GOP now than in 1970. It's more about Obama than about the GOP. I believe McCain opposed MLK.

Bush's administration had a black eye with the black community before Obama had even formed an exploratory committee. And help me out because I honestly can't remember, but was McCain part of the no-MLK day contingent in Arizona, or did he buck the party on that one? ~ John I have to agree with Ames here … ok, I don’t *have* to, but what the hell.

Maybe a post with some heavy input from Diddionsmommy? And yes, i love Dr. Horrible. I'm a big fan of Neil patrick harris in 'How I Met Your Mother' and I heard about Dr.Horrible on NPR so I had to check it out. I’d be curious to hear your take on what women’s values are.

And Katrina. And, yes, Obama, but Obama shares values with most African Americans; Palin's values diverge from a good deal of women. PS - I didn't know you liked Dr. Horrible! What a GREAT SHOW. Law school friend & I are going to the fall costume ball as Dr. Horrible & Captain Hammer.

This is the lowest number in 40 years. I think we all know why. So it is quite possible even today that people could vote based on identity politics. There's a lot of time between now and November.

McCain's strategy this whole election has been to suborn issues to who's more "likable." I think McCain also intended picking a woman to immunize his campaign from allegations of sexism, to a certain degree, but I don't think he expected the worst of the left to come out, nor do I think it has.

Daily Kos... btw... doesn't count as mainstream :). And I disagree with your assessment that women voters will find it hard to vote against a woman; especially where Palin doesn't speak for many women, and poll numbers show her doing worse among women than men.
