- The Washington Post/ABC News poll found that much of McCain's surge in the polls since the Republican National Convention is attributable to the shift in support among white women.
Before the Democratic National Convention in late August, Obama held an 8 percentage point lead among white women voters, 50 percent to 42 percent, but after the Republican convention in early September, McCain was ahead by 12 points among white women, 53 percent to 41 percent, the poll found.
Beneath the top-line numbers in the latest ABC News poll, there is one dramatic shift which has Sarah Palin's name all over it: White women have shifted in large numbers to John McCain.
Aljazeera.net, Telegraph.co.uk, Wall Street Journal,
White woman are turning to Palin, not on the issues; women who are Pro-choice, are not supporting a candidate who is STAUCHLY against women having a choice. Not on education economics, certainly not because she is against pork of state pet projects. But simply because she looks like them...and because is a good comedian. Where are all the threads that came out accusing black for voting for Obama simply because he was black. (which really was a bit silly since blacks in American do not, and can not...alone, pick the president of the United States.

I'm guessing
((((White women have shifted in large numbers to John McCain.)))))
I doubt this. Women, regardless of their background will vote issues, unless they are prejudiced. Nothing will change those women's minds and they only identify with those like them. So, these women were democrats and concervatives that have stopped pretending to be undecided, because they think that Sarah is their answer. Too bad their excitement will be drowned by the waves of truth as Sarah's lies come to light. lol.
Polls are misleading. Those numbers will always be skewed. I have voted for gender in the past...when I was young and stupid. Now it is all about the issues, because in the end, Barack is looking out for America- he wants his daughters to have a strong country. He's not acting as a puppet for the GOP the way McCain is.
Perhaps you are right.

Aljazeera.net,
I don't take much stock in polls because there are so many variables.....
How many women were interviewed? How were questions worded? What was the demographic? Are women that fickle & so easily swayed?
Can't speak for others BUT I support Palin because she is intelligent, assertive, has an excellent history of executive experience with a proven track record of reform, is articulate, actually practices what she preaches, and brings a middle-class perspective to the political process that is much needed.
Go SARAH Go!!!
