The typical feminists are out there saying “We are not going for John McCain’s trick” and women are not going to vote for the McCain/Palin ticket. Well, since 52% of the voters are women the question is how many of that total will swing toward the “You Go Girl” side. Only 10%, you say? Well that is 5% of the electorate. More than enough to swing any election. All very true, but as I posted on another article, the numbers mean something here.

A disenfranchised and unenthusiastic base limping behind a less than ideologically inspiring candidate just got enfranchised and enthusiastic for the first time in the race. When conservatives bother to show up, liberals usually lose.
