The 19th Amendment is all that stands between us and the abyss (re: Palin vs. Hillary poll)

Some days it's mighty embarrassing to be a man!

"In a head-to-head match-up, men prefer Sarah Palin over Clinton 49% to 45% according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Women prefer the former first lady over Palin 57% to 35%."

Woman President: Clinton vs. Palin 52% to 41%

(In the same data set Obama trails McCain by 4 among men, exactly the same margin as Hillary vs. Palin. Women favor Obama over McCain by 14%. Among women Hillary leads Palin by 22%. No theory there, just offering the numbers.)

6. Sorry. I should have added that he had a really nice ass. (Our only 'junk in the trunk' president)

3. Agreed. But Clinton still gets 45% with men. She's unique.

Not necessarily liked, but respected. A strong woman who wins out by being strong. Very significant IMO.

5. I'm glad to see Hillary beats Palin in this what-if poll. Even so, I find it absolutely depressing

that more men choose Palin.

7. I know you're not saying that 45% of men think with their penises are you?

Nor am I supposed to think that when Mccain said this:

In an appearance before the National League of Cities and Towns in Washington D.C., McCain supposedly asked the crowd if they had heard "the one about the woman who is attacked on the street by a gorilla, beaten senseless, raped repeatedly and left to die?"

The punch line: "When she finally regains consciousness and tries to speak, her doctor leans over to hear her sigh contently and to feebly ask, "Where is that marvelous ape?"

that 45% of repulican (obviously) men may actually agree with him, right?

and I shouldn't be surprised that 45% of men would and ARE thinking right in lockstep and along with their party line of what role women play not just in the current republican party but also in American society? (sorry if this isn't making sense).

I'm supposed to conclude that 45% of republican males have no problem with the fact that Senator Mccain would associate with "friends" that enjoy making crude jokes about women, agree to the fundraiser and then cancel their appearance at the fundraiser Clayton Williams hosted ONLY because it became public BUT had no problem ACCEPTing the $300,000 in donations and in the same breath admitting the jokes were "incredibly offensive"?:

John McCain has called off a fundraiser at the home of a Texas oilman who joked about rape during a 1990 gubernatorial run in the state.

The Texan, Republican Clayton Williams, made the joke during his failed campaign against Democrat Ann Richards. Williams compared rape to the weather, saying, "As long as it's inevitable, you might as well lie back and enjoy it."

He also compared Richards to the cattle on his ranch, saying he would "head her and hoof her and drag her through the dirt."

Williams' comments made national news at the time and remain easy to find on the Internet. Even so, McCain's campaign said it hadn't known about the remarks.

"These were obviously incredibly offensive remarks that the campaign was unaware of at the time it was scheduled," McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said. "It's positive that he did apologize at the time, but the comments are nonetheless offensive.

he campaign said it would not return money Williams had raised for McCain because the contributions came from other individuals supporting McCain and not from Williams. Williams told his hometown newspaper, the Midland Reporter-Telegram, that he had raised more than $300,000 for McCain.

The obvious hypocristy of the GOP is brazen, wanton and scandalous above measure.

8. Not entirely. If Palin was homely it would be a somewhat similar result.

Looks are a factor, and probably worth a couple of points, but more men than women also favor Margret Thatcher, Kay Baily Hutchison, Elizabeth Dole, etc..

The margin among men on Hillary vs. Palin is exactly the same as men on Obama vs. McCain.

More men prefer Republicans and conservatives in general.
