Independent Women's Vote

When Sarah Palin was picked to be the VP nominee for the Republican Party, the whole world of feminism was turned upside down. There were many who thought that the pick was to go after the women who voted for Hillary. I agree with the Democratic operatives who suggest that the majority of the women voters who supported Hillary were not going to be swayed by Palin's choice for VP. Many of these women would find Palin's stance on many of the issues wrong headed and could never bring themselves to pull the Republican lever. I do believe that a small number will vote for Palin, but a more discomfort for the Democrats will come from the number of Hillary supporters who will just stay home.But, I believe the real level of support from women will come from a surprising source. If you remember a few weeks ago, at the Ric Warren forum, Obama, to some being nuanced, to others being confused, when asked about when a fetus should have rights, he responded, "it was above his pay grade." Add to this House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's mis-representation of the Catholic Church's stance on when life begins in her apperance on Meet the Press. She received very real rebukes from a host of Catholic Bishops and a number of Cardinals. Now add in Joe Biden's apperance on Meet the Press on Sunday past, and the rebuke already by Catholic Bishops from that apperance. What you have with these three things, I believe, is a Tsunami that will sweep Mc Cain and Palin to the White House in November. No, the Hillary voters are not going to make the difference, it will be the independent Catholic women who profoundly disagree with the three leading Democrats who have mis-stated the Catholic Church's position on life. They clearly understand the Democratic position is not the moral position that they are in sync with in their lives and are going to make the difference in this election.The Democratic Party has not recognized their precarious postion and it will be their downfall in November as Mc Cain and Palin will take the White House and will help to stem the losses in Congressional and Senate races.
