The women who will vote for McCain/Palin because they're conservatives were going to hold their noses and vote for McCain anyway. It only takes one hand to vote.

All this stupid fixation on the pregnant daughter has cast a haze over genuine reasons why Palin is a problem, all of them to do with her behavior in office and her positions on a wide variety of issues. A Hillary supporter of either gender is unlikely to be persuaded by a candidate who looks forward to presiding over the recriminalization of abortion no matter what the gender of that candidate.

Are there women who will vote for her just because she's a woman? Sure. Just like there are men who will vote for her because she's pretty. Just like Eva Perón. Juan -- I mean, John can expect to reap the benefit of such shallow votes. I can only hope it rains on election day, so that most of them will stay home.
