I think that he is the anti-Bush and I know more females than males that feeling stronger hate for Bush. I think that females fall for his charm and ellegance. Face it, he's real smooth. My 77 year old Mom seem really taken by him so I think that he is converting some of the old lady crowd. Maybe women are more affected by appearances. Obama is taller, has a deeper voice, seems more articulate, .. in other words, he seems more presidential than McCain (a shorter, grey, balding guy with a smarmy voice). Don't get me wrong, I am not drinking the kool-aid and am smart enough to see theough appearances. It's kind of like the women who falls for the good looking guy who is a creep... not saying that Obama is good looking; just that he looks like a president. But, as we know appearance are just appearances

You are right on the money! The question is will there be more women taken in by Palin Power than those that fall for the Mandingo Warrior? Stay tuned!

This is definitely satirical drivel. Laura Hazen actually makes some sensical comments.

I agree with your analysis of Mr. Obama. The only reasoning I can think of is similar to what Amy said. I do think people don't want to "appear" racist. I have a feeling we may experience the Bradley Effect on November 4th.

Another reason for the support may be the "feminist" movement. This movement was hijacked by radical leftists to promote their far left agenda. The majority of the so called "feminists" these days are middle-aged white women. These women will do anything to promote their cause even at the destruction of other women. The "feminists" have destroyed the family as we knew it and are trying to replace it with their version where you no longer "need" a man. You can marry another woman, if you are so unfortunate to have slept with a man and have become pregnant, at any stage, you can can abort your unwanted pregnancy and never have to depend on a man. This democratic far left agenda is appealing to the feminists.

Women who don't want to be singled out and ostracized by the femanazis go along with these ideals. I hope that they don't get pushed around on the 4th and vote for what's right.

A couple weeks ago my wife and I were out running errands on a Saturday. We were listening to Monica Crowley on talk radio and she was commenting how the women over 40 and women over 50 were not falling for Obama's rhetoric. One man named John called in and said that he and his wife were talking about this factor and he said his wife mentioned that those women over 40 were not buying in to Obama because they had been with the pretty boys and had heard them say anything to get what they wanted, only to find out they were talking fluff. I thought that was VERY descriptive of Obama. THought I would share that with you all. I thought it was very insightful how this ego-centric Superman sent here to change the world is perceived by those of us not taken in by his empty suit.

I read your blog. Again, I commend!!

I asked my wife about what she thinks the fascination is w/ Obama. She agrees w/ me that Obama wants to normalize aburrent men-hating behavior. I mean, you don't have to be a psychologist to see the hate in Obama's wife!

I see the sickness of such television shows as The View. I don't worry about the women hosting the show. I worry about those who watch this trash! Much can be said as to how Obama was received on the show versus how McCain's reception.

Many of these women see themselves as former victims of men.

Having been the victim of the liberal feminist mindset, I can understand the overall 'distaste' inherent to this topic. It is true however that women have been treated badly both domestically and abroad by the politics of men especially after WWII. The reality is however that this has more to do with the way we as men regard, or disregard, our women do to either immaturity or negative self image. Ok, now that 's over let's focus on a real issue.

Am I the only person that thinks that we as republicans have more to gain at the end of an Obama presidency? I mean really... The economy is in the tank, the environment is circling the drain and never before has an election season been so polarized by the darkside of the human condition. Issues like sexism, racism, poverty, and extremist hatred on a global scale against America.

Look, the next president is inhereting a nightmare that he will not be able to fix in four years. And will most likely be seen as the worst president ever to haunt the West Wing. He will beat his head against a wall, fighting ignorance and inertia on every level, and most likely be seen as an incompetent idealist with no quantifiable result (think 'Jimmy'). Do we really want one our boys taking that wrap?

I say let them have it and we'll pick it up on the tail end with a Sen. Palin/Romney ticket squaring off against Hillary in 2012. That would fix the 'white female' issue, wouldn't it?

It's not about black and white; it's about bread and circus. Obama will give things away -- free money, the government will support you.

It's about good looks, smooth delivery and the hope that you will get some of the rich person's wealth.

While I was driving yesterday, I was listening to a talk radio station that asked the question, "What is the dumbest reason you have heard for someone voting for their canidate?" After listening to most of the comments, One of the comments was that a woman was going to vote for the man that her X husband wasn't voting for.....Another, "I'm voting for Obama because Oprah said to."....."I'm voting for Obama because he is the first black man running for President." I shook my head and wondered, "what has happened to America." Your point of view might just fit in with those that I heard yesterday.....

I'm NOT voting for Obama because I don't want to live in a socialist society. My daughter is an honor student at college. She has worked hard to get her 4.0 average. Her friend, parties, hardly studies and has a 2.0 average. Would it be fair to both students, if my daughter gave away one of her hard earned GPA so that they both could have a 3.0? I don't think so. We have two generations of the "entitlement" generations now, what ever happened to the old, "pull up your boot straps and work"?

Sorry to rant.....

I loved your rant Lucy! And not to correct you, but we are well into our 4th generation of welfare, thanks to the Democrats! - The Black Sphere

I hate to say it too but I think looks has alot to do with it. I know a certain white female "journalist" who had made to attempt to downplay her attraction to him, even writing about how great he looked without his shirt and wanting to follow him into the locker room. Mind you, she is "covering" his campaign for the newspaper she is "writing" for.

Style over substance, pure and simple. Just like Bill Clinton, no substance at all, all style. If that is what it takes to win the female vote, then unfortunatly it does not bode well for the Republicans, and it says very little for the women voters out there. It shows that the Republican women voters are paying attention, all the others are taken in far too easily by looks and style.

This guys is just like Slick Willy, he bases his decisions on which ever way the polling winds are blowing, and that changes daily.

Kevin, I personally do not know any white females who are voting for Obama-- seems strange, now that I am typing it to you, but it is true. My mother knows only one-- and she is not voting at all, because she is an old person, and has voted Democratic all her life, and just cannot bring herself to do the Republican thing on the ballot. You SHOULD be proud to be a wonderful man who happens to be black-- I have several of them that I know, that are good, accomplished, successful people-- they are in my contacts! One is a CIO of the US Olympic Organization, he was my CIO at my last company-- another is my recently former supervisor, who is now a CIO of a department of the state of Michigan-- both of them are Republicans, and both of them think that Barack Obama is a dishonest, shifty character with Communist leanings, and a God complex. But here is what is interesting to us-- my husband has been involved in football at various levels, for years-- he also has many friends who played football with him, as well as being in the Marine Corps with him, who just happen to also be black. What we are seeing in Green Bay is somewhat shocking, regarding white women and black men-- My husband was helping with the Donald Driver Summer Football Camp in our area, Donald being a Green Bay Packer, and a wonderful guy. Every day that my husband would go to school, to help with the camp, he would tell me that white women of various ages would show up, to throw themselves at the young black men who were part of Donald's entourage-- many were the mothers of the young kids who were there for football camp. I am not certain, why there is a trend this way, but there is-- my theory on this is that if you watch American Television, you will see some subtle changes that have happened over the last 12 years or so. Black men are portrayed on tv, in shows and in commercials, as being heroes, and successful people-- White men, on the other hand, are portrayed as buffoons-- evidence "Married with Children", the Simpsons, Family Guy, and I know there are many sitcoms that do this, and tons of commercials. I think this is subliminal. and I think it has a lot to do with this phenomenon.

In response to you question regarding the white woman voting for Obama, that is an excellent question which I have pondered for hours on end.
I come from a long and proud conservative family of women. My sister is a young 66 and has never voted for a democrat until this election. She is head over heels for Obama. "He is inspirational", "he has a great group of advisors", "he is such a great public speaker" are phrases coming out of her mouth. I personally don't get it but I know 10 plus women who have always voted conservatively that intend to vote the most liberal senator we have ever had into the white house.

I reminded her the greatest public inspirer/speaker of the last century was Adolph Hitler. I now do not have to listen to her swoon over Obama as she is not speaking to me. Go figure; the truth hurts.

And don't get me started on katie Couric....she looked like a star gazed, smitten teenager as she interviewed Obama. Gag.

If they only knew how little Obama cared about them-- as a matter of fact, he HATES white people-- that is what he knows, that is what he listened to, and AGREED to, in 20 years of church sermons. If you read his books, he hated his mother, for being white. DUH-- you wonder, don't you?
