I think men are starting to move toward Obama because they are starting to get worried about having Palin as a v.p and freaked out by the idea of her being president. That may very well cancel out and possibly outnumber women who jump from the Hillary camp to McCain because of Palin if the interviewers keep the rightful and appropriate pressure on her that they would keep on male candidates. Time will tell. Hell: many of those very same women may jump back to Obama as they learn about Palin's lack of world knowledge and the whole rape test kit issue (she wanted to charge victims for the kits). I wish there was a way to push that issue tastefully but I think the women on Obama's team could do it to great effect. Do those disaffected Hillary supporters really want a woman like Palin representing them? Hopefully, they will get past the "selling point" that she simply shares the same gender.
