Go Read It: Some Working Class Women on GOP/Dem Tickets

If I made $10.50 an hour and was wondering how to send my daughter to college, I think I'd focus on issues instead of rhetoric too.

Go read it: "Sarah Palin's Appeal to Working Class Women May Be Limited," (LA Times).

Great article, Cyn. Thank you for posting that link.

Not like the LA times would selectively cherry pick a few women to support their talking points.

Unfortunately for Obama, there are more women who are very angry at his treatment of Hillary and are voting McCain. Obama lost 83/88 counties in Ohio to Hillary, and these are trending McCain.

I'm going to guess there are alot more women like me and Deborah Bartoshevich than there are the few unhappy women the LA Times was able to dig up.

Go PUMAS!

You guess there are 2 or more women who are PUMAs like you and Debbie Bartoshevich. When I attended the DNC, I personally saw a group of maybe a dozen PUMAs. Weren't there supposed to be busloads caravaning to Denver from all over the country?

At least the LA Times spoke to 24 actual women for their article.

LoveMyMarine, what are the issues that you felt Clinton best addressed? Where are the areas of policy where you believe Obama fails to measure up, or McCain meets your expectations? I really want to know. Because McCain couldn't be bothered to vote for the equal pay act that both Obama and Clinton co-sponsored with several other senators this summer, and that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to differences in what Obama-Biden '08 (or Clinton) have to offer versus McCain.

Senator Clinton used the biggest bully pulpit she could find to tell her fans to vote for Obama. So I'm wondering why it's so hard for you to take cues from your favored candidate.

Yeah, I saw the dozen PUMAs in Denver, too, Cyn. And when I asked one of them what her message was, she said, "I don't have a message." When I asked her what the PUMAs' goals at the convention were, she said, "I don't have any goals."

That's one organized movement, you have there, PUMAs.
