Maybe it’s just me, but not all of these poll numbers seem so great for Camp “O.” The headline of a Yahoo News article claims “U.S. Women Turned Off By Palin Pick: Poll” then reports findings like these:
But 52 percent of voters polled in a survey for the women’s activist group Emily’s List said they would vote for the Democrat ticket of Barack Obama and his VP choice Joseph Biden, against 41 for the Republicans.
Okay, so far, so good.
The poll, carried out by random dialing of 800 women on Sunday and Monday, shows that 50 percent of women voters felt McCain picked Palin out of political expediency and not because he believes she has the experience to do the job.
All right! Let’s see, Emily’s List, women voters, got it.
The poll also showed that Palin would fail to sway disgruntled Hillary Clinton supporters still angered that she was locked out of the Democratic ticket.
Some 45 percent of Clinton fans thought Palin was not very attractive as a candidate, and 55 percent said they would not be voting for McCain.
So, fifty-five percent of Hillary’s female supporters won’t vote for McCain. Doesn’t that mean forty-five percent will?
Only nine percent of Clinton supporters said they thought they would vote Republican because Palin was on the ticket.
I guess the other thirty-six percent of female Clinton supporters are voting for McCain just for the hell of it. Must be at least a small comfort to the Dems.

They are going to work those numbers to death in the coming weeks!!! I’m going to be dreaming about poll numbers before it’s all over.
