you can't fool all the people all the time
sometimes i wonder what i'll do once this election is over. assuming my guy wins (knock on wood), i think i'll still experience a withdrawal period (and don't plan to see me for days should the O team not triumph. i would also recommend not speaking to me for at least a month as i'll be a raving lunatic for a while).
anyway, this is what i wonder as i obsessively check the polls and analysis regarding the race for the white house. as you all know, the news has generally been good for obama in the last 10 days or so, but it's stuff like this that i find most gratifying:And here's the bad news for Palin. Time says that McCain is losing women at a faster clip than Palin was able to gain them -- before the two conventions, Obama led among women by ten points, which then narrowed to one point after she was picked. Now he leads by 17 points.
And in Pew, Palin's public image has taken a very serious fall. Three weeks ago, Palin was seen as qualified to be president by a 52%-39% margin. Now that number has been reversed: Only 37% think she's qualified, and 51% say she is not.
it just goes to show you, you can't fool all the people all the time and that makes me feel good about my fellow american folks.
late update: there is also this. it's important to be clear-eyed about the uphill climb O and co. may still face, especially in battlegrounds.
