The Sarah Palin Chronicles

Sarah Palin...like her, fear her or hate her? No doubt though, she is a force.
In my opinion, if McCain wins...it will be 100% resulting from the addition of Gov. Sarah Palin (AK - Rep.)

If the Obama polling surge (due to the economic news), starts to disappear again...and the debates go well for the McCain and Palin (at least beating lowered expectations)...I think we will see a very strong momentum shift again towards McCain and Palin.

I think that it is very likely that McCain picked up at least an additional 10% of women voters, with the selection of Sarah Palin. In a tight electoral and demographic situation...McCain picking up an extra 10% or more of the largest voting block in the United States (women)...is a huge factor. When also considering that he secured and energized the Republican and Conservative bases, and also picked someone popular in the West which Obama was courting...it is huge! It is also important to note that 53% of voters being women, and 2/3 of those voting Democratic...stealing 10% or more of women voters could be devastating to Obama.
