"No wonder those YouTube women are so mad."
I enjoyed Katherine Scalia's look at Barack Obama as the new trophy wife of the Democratic Party: As a trophy wife, Obama would be content to let the Democrats pull out of Iraq; Hillary might actually suggest they stay. Obama would be able to sell the socialized health care Hillary couldn't pull off. Most importantly, Obama would schmooze and photo-op with the elites for whose approval the Democrats so desperately yearned; Hillary was untrustworthy, there. She might snub Ahmadinejad and, like Bill Clinton before her, pledge to jump into a trench with a rifle to defend Israel. Obama would smile and look good while doing neither.If Obama is the trophy wife, little wonder he doesn't want to share the stage with the old wife he replaced. But will John McCain be able to successfully court those who collectively represent the spurned old wife? That depends on how mad they really are, and long they stay mad.
(I couldn't get it to embed, so the embed was deleted.) MORE: Speaking of "those YouTube women" and whether McCain can court them, here's an interesting poll result which hasn't gotten much play: This resentment is reflected in a private nationwide poll conducted this month by McLaughlin and Associates, which usually works for Republicans but is not connected with the McCain campaign. Poll-taker John McLaughlin found that John McCain had a 49 percent to 38 percent edge over Obama among all women. That is an extraordinary result, running counter to a longtime Democratic advantage.It certainly is an extraordinary result. Maybe that's why it's not getting much play. Well, I'm sure the specialists in widely overlooking would like it to be. But what happens when the widely overlooked becomes widely linked? posted by Eric on 06.08.08 at 02:32 PM

I'd prefer the poll be widely overlooked. The Dems won't work on problems they don't see.
