Clinton Pollster Predicts Defection Of GOP Women

Mark Penn, the pollster and senior strategist of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, predicted Thursday that nearly a quarter of Republican women would defect from the GOP if the New York senator is the Democratic presidential nominee in 2008.

At a breakfast with political reporters, Penn said his internal polling shows Clinton would win over some 24 percent of Republican women in the 2008 general election because of the “emotional” appeal of electing the country’s first woman president.

Penn said the trend is as evident in the South, a region Democratic presidential candidates have had trouble winning in recent elections, as in all other regions of the country.

Penn said the trend indicates that Clinton would be a stronger Democratic presidential candidate in the South than either Al Gore was in 2000 or John Kerry was in 2004.

If a Republican woman votes for Clinton simply because she’s a woman, than she isn’t a true Republican. I am not opposed to a woman president in the future - as long as it is a woman who agrees with my political beliefs and values. And Hillary is not that woman!

They wish GOP women would defect to Hillary, but we will not and I am in the south. This is yet again the Democratic party trying to convince us all that Hillary is the candidate, but I can tell you if I was a democrat she would never get my primary vote. It is not inevitable that Hillary will get the nomination and if the Democratic primary voters have any brains they will not put her in, her negatives far outweigh her positives. And from what I’m reading the only positive is that she’d be the first woman President. Whoopee, I’m not impressed nor inclined to vote for this shrill harpy!

This is laughable on its face and most likely an attempt to create buzz rather than reporting true findings.

I don’t recall the percentages of Republican women that Gore and Kerry swayed won. But get real, with Hillary’s massive negatives - it’s absurd to believe that she’ll get anywhere near 10%, let alone 24%.

This article is trash.

He’s smoking crack. There are democratic women that I’ve talked to that said if Hillary gets the nomination they will note vote for a liar and someone who is evil under it all. She’s trying to pose a centrist, which is an absolute fabrication. Just read Dick Morris’ books and his articles he writes for different publications, he only worked for the Clintons for 25 years. he knows them inside, out.

He’s even said if I hadn’t written these books I wouldn’t be alive today because he knows too much about them. He talks about her filthy mouth and now there’s an article about her eavesdropping on opponents cell phone conversations while in the White House. i’m sure that will go over well with people when she’s trying to stop the eavesdropping bill so we can’t listen to our enemies who might try to harm our country.

My common sense gets in the way of believing this—when women think of the future of this country and our safety, who actually will be making decisions to protect us and make safe decisions for our soldiers, I can’t believe that voting women would take that chance. To elect a woman that would give honor and dignity to our country—that has lived her life with putting our country first and not her personal ambitions of power and control—that will happen someday—but this woman does not want to put America and the Constitution first. She is not the best choice for America.

If, in fact true, i would hopoe that even more than the 24% defection of republican females, will occure. I am a firm Hillary supporter. I live in Buffalo NY and had the privilidge of working on her 2000 senate bid. To those republicans who actually believe that ANY ONE of the current republican presidential candidates are better than Ms Clinton…I stronly recommend a forensic psychiatric evaluation. C’mon….NO ONE can be that STUPID to support any 4republican candidate. I don’t care if Joe francis was the democratic candidate. ANYTHING is better than what the republican party has given this country since the 1st election of GWB. Bush has systematically destroyed the party. Most intelligent republican politicians know this. Why have they distanced themselves from bush? You will see that the republican nominee will NOT want GWB anywhere near their campaign. As to Hillary, why are pseudo- conservatives/christians so afraid of her/ step up to the plate1 i would really love to have someone, on this post, to do two (2) things: 1) factually support GWB and his administration over the last 6-7 years. And second 2) to factually promote ANY of the republican candidates over that of Hillary clinton! (remember, I said factually!) Here’s your chance: i can’t wait to hear the spin machine combined with pretzel logic!!! Sincerely, Gary Z. Buffalo, NY

Sounds like the people on this board are just a little nervous. Face it, y’all — Hillary IS going to be president. Not so much because she’s a woman, although I do expect that women who lean Republican may vote for her. Hillary is going to be president because she’s better qualified than all the other clowns who are running (in both parties.) So sit back, relax and let it happen. Truth be told, I can’t wait to see the steam coming out of the Republican’s collective ears when she wins.

I simply don’t see this happening. The other real problem she really has, before Mr. Penn jumps to conclusions, is that she has to convince a sufficient number of Democrat men to vote for her IN THE PRIMARY. There are no bigger sexists, racists, and bigots than are Democrats of party influence. Mrs. Bill Clinton needs a miracle.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAA!! Obviously, he’s never actually ASKED any Republican women - this is pure conjecture. I am a woman from the South, born Democrat(as most Southern women were in the 70’s), became a Republican when I got my first job at 15. There is NO WAY IN HELL I’ll ever vote for this opportunistic slug who rode her cheating husband’s coattails to elected office! She gives women a bad name - give me a woman who’s earned her place, taken stances that she is willing to explain and stand firm on, isn’t trying to pander her way in, and holds to good conservative principles of smaller government and less “nanny state” victimization, and I’ll vote for her in a heartbeat. HILLARY IS NOT THAT WOMAN AND SHE’LL NEVER GET MY VOTE - and I’ve got many, many MANY friends who feel the same way!

Hilary is quite the role model for young women. I am sure glad that if I have a daughter she will be able to look up to the first woman president, the triumph of the woman’s rights movement, Hillary Clinton. A woman who got where she is by marrying a lecherous man and sticking with him so she could hide behind his power and popularity so that she could avoid questions of her credentials. I am sure that all women will want to endorse this type of role model.

Clinton can’t keep her husband from cheating on her, she lies to most everyone she talks to,Dick Morris used to be in their camp and his advise was just tell them what they want to hear you don’t have to deliver just get their vote by lying to them, she avoids answering any question she can’t figure out what the most popular answer should be.Republicans are not stupid enough to vote for her We had enough of her when she ran the white house the last time! Why would anyone vote for her, She has no record of doing anything well other than LIE!!!

The point is that Penn is NOT dreaming…he’s citing numbers. Granted they are internal numbers, but they aren’t so far off from national female trends uncovered by independent pollsters. I don’t know who I’m voting for, but some Republicans may have to start accepting that not everyone hates Hillary as much as they think. In fact, by independent numbers, most Americans find her stronger and more inspiring than Barack Obama or Rudy Giuliani, both of whom have been seen as hope machines. Could it be that many Republicans have simply LEARNED to hate Hillary, even without a real reason? If so, they may be selling themselves and democracy short…

Republican men should also vote for Hillary. We have seen the damage and destruction Republicans have caused since taking Congress in 1994 and the Presidency in 2000. Our country cannot afford anymore GOP leadership. They can’t be trusted to do anything properly- from FIMA, to the economy, to running a war, conservative leadership has been disastrous. It’s time for a change. Notwithstanding you wingnuts here who would vote for Bush again if you could, many Republicans (men and women) know what I am saying is true and will vote for a change whether it be Clinton, Obama, or someone else. One thing is for certain, none of the clowns running for the GOP nomination has a clue about anything with the exception of Huckabee who will unfortunately not get nominated.

I identified myself as a registered Republican voter and then I got a kick out of saying that I plan-on voting for Hillary. It was all automated (like voice-mail/no human). The poll ended after I said who I was planning-on voting-for. WHY? (am I voting-for Hillary). She’s a woman and she WANTS it. Our country looks like a joke for not having a woman Prez. but I can understand why no woman in her right mind would want the job. The only other government that I can think-of who has not had a woman leader is the taliban.

Among the Republicans, there isn’t any choice other than the same old white male warmongers. Although Ron Paul is different, I don’t think he’s a viable candidate.

We need to stop wasting money over in Iraq. It’s been bankrupting our country. Unless we start focusing seriously on ourselves soon, we’re headed for a very nasty recession to a depression. I would rather see a person like Hilary spend all this Iraq money on social programs that help our own children and elderly rather than kill/injure the same groups over in another country.

What I can’t believe is that this is a “news” story. Based upon this level of journalism, Bush predicts that he will run again and get all the Bush bashers to vote for him should be published as a story. All Clinton is doing is addressing the negatives that are felt within the Democratic Party.

The real issue is that she has not lead one business, government unit or department and has not authored one piece of legislation that has passed. Her only expample of leadership was the HillaryCare initiative, which was dead on arrival in Congress. She is no more qualified to be President that Obama.

I’m the same age as Hillary Clinton, and all for women accomplishing all they can and being duly acknowledged and rewarding.

But I consider Hillary and Bill Clinton an embarrassment to our generation, the emodiment of the “me generation” and while they are both bright, they’re also morally bankrupt.

I would hope that all voters would take the time to educate themselves on the issues and backgrounds of the nominees, and vote for the best candidate for the job, whether it’s a man, woman, or Pomeranian. Once people stop to consider experience, positions, and personal integrity it’s hard to see how anyone will vote for Hillary Clinton.

Clinton is obviously a woman who had so little confidence in her own abilities that she chose to ride the coattails of her husband - regardless of the abuse and embarrassment he brought on their family - rather than make a career on her own. She is still riding his coattails, with no accomplishment of her own. She is the antithesis of a strong woman. Pathetic and embarrassing.

If Hillary Clinton wins both the popular vote and electoral vote the nay sayers will have to shut up and sit down.

As a boy growing up a in the 1960s I honestly never believed a woman would be elected president in my lifetime. This is an awesome historical event for America. It’s overdue and I am really, really excited. I don’t care WHO the woman is. If she gets the numbers, she deserves it as much as any previous man elected.

When President George W. Bush was elected President no one expected his popularity to fall to 24 percent—especially after 9/11. But look NOW. Look to the “self promoting liberal progressive” French? Have they ever elected a woman President? NEVER.

Whoever is elected the next president should be given the chance all “Presidents elect” were given after taking the oath “to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution—so help them God.”

Everyone here who doesn’t believe this is uneducated. A pollster is saying this, which to me, means he has done polls that show this. And contrary to what people wish to believe polls are only biased when there is a large screw up (see Dewey in 1948). Further, it does not matter if you, your wife or your friends are Republican women who hate Hillary Clinton. Your friends are much more likely to be biased than a poll. People live, work and socialize in homogeneous information groups. There is no such thing as a silent majority and everyone needs to come to grips with the fact that Hillary Clinton in all likelihood will be the next President.

2 out of every three female Democratics will defect from the Democratics Party if Hillary Clinton is the Democratic Nominee. It can be played both ways; Hillary is polarizing and the Dems “wish” she wasn’t so they create these phony statements and polls. No way any GOP female would ever vote for Hillary; it’s the other side they fear, the Democratic females jumping a sinking ship to the GOP nominee. Penn fears a Gullini/Thompson ticket.

Women have been the driving force behind American elections for many years. To believe that we are not well informed and ready to vote based on research and intelligence is truly underestimating us. Those who do cast their vote for Hillary will be voting because they were “bussed” in, promised cigarettes, food and other items, pulled out of jail cells and homeless shelters or simply stupid. No woman of intelligence will ever cast a vote for Hillary based on credentials or experience. We all understand the scandals that rocked the White House under the Clinton regime, we all definitely understand that Hillary has one goal in mind, just as Bill did, POWER. That power would lead to a socialist nation that will destroy the middle class with a tax burden we will never survive. Programs Programs and more programs. After all they will have to fulfill the promises they make to those they bus in to vote.

Never will Hillary bed down a guest in the Lincoln bedroom.

Everyone here who doesn’t believe this is uneducated. A pollster is saying this, which to me, means he has done polls that show this. And contrary to what people wish to believe polls are only biased when there is a large screw up (see Dewey in 1948). Further, it does not matter if you, your wife or your friends are Republican women who hate Hillary Clinton. Your friends are much more likely to be biased than a poll. People live, work and socialize in homogeneous information groups. There is no such thing as a silent majority and everyone needs to come to grips with the fact that Hillary Clinton in all likelihood will be the next President. Go ahead and claim you are going to move to another country or that this country will somehow become worse, but we all know you won’t leave and this country cannot get in much worse shape than it has been in for the last 8 years.

Any woman that claims to be a conservative, does not vote based on ridiculous things like gender, looks or race. They vote on what counts-what does the candidate stand for. And yes, I would vote for a woman or a minority president if they had the credentials and true conservative values. I believe the Republicans have women and minorities that could fill the bill, but they just aren’t running. I think the 19th ammendment should be repealed for any woman that votes based on the superficial. If they can’t be trusted to do the thinking required, then they shouldn’t be trusted to vote and that goes for men too!

Why is someone willing to make domestic issues a legitimate cause a “socialist”? I think the real fear comes from the fact that the programs like healthcare WILL work, but will cost GOP friends a lot of dough, and I don’t think anyone-dem or repub-can argue that everything we do isn’t about money when it is all said and done.

Frankly, given the complete and utter disaster this country has become with who is far and away THE WORST person to ever be in the oval office-I would take Clinton in a second by comparison. Now, before you hate mongers attack me in the typical GOP fashion-rest assured I am not thrilled with the fact that she will be the nominee-but she is amazingly smart-and given the fact that the president we have now can’t read, doesnt know history, has a hard time managing the English language, can’t spell, can’t make jokes, can’t tell the truth, spies on anyone/everyone for POLITICAL GAIN-not just terrorism as he lies about (and if you want to argue that point, please READ FACTS about how he was using illegal methods to gather info on innocent American citizens BEFORE 9/11-and it still happened)and doesn’t know how to pronounce INTERNET, Clinton seems like Einstein and a much more viable candidate to lead this country in the exact opposite way Bush has. I mean, are you all truly happy with the direction this country is headed? We now torture, we spy illegally on innocent Americans who we can now literally plunk up off the stret and imprison-without giving them ANY rights-we are bankrupting ourselves, we are hated abroad, are creating enemies who WILL strike back later in life, we are selling off the country piece by piece to countries that FINANCE TERROR, we lose 200K weapons in a warzone, BILLIONS of dollars “disappears”, the Justice department seems to provide everything BUT justice and honesty, we are worsening the environment, and taking away healthcare from kids who really need it.

This sounds like a self-serving prediction. It serves two purposes: 1) keep potential strong challengers on the sidelines and 2) to plant the seed in any female vascillating on how to cast her vote. I would not pay heed to any of Mr. Penn’s predictions. I am surprised he is so obvious. Could mean the Hilary camp is afraid.

She WISHES she could get 25% of Republican women! The thing is, we are not as dumb as she thinks. We don’t believe in portraying ourselves as victims, we fight for what we want. We don’t see abortion as liberating, we see it as shameful. And when we see a woman running for President who isn’t going to try to take away our children and raise them in the Nanny State, you’re damn right we will vote for HER in droves!

It’s amazing that some of you still believe that President Bush is the worst president ever. Your opinion is based merely on liberal spin in a liberal media. This president has received the most mind boggling press bashing that any president has ever received. They completely ignore the booming economy, the unemployment stats, the stock market, his successful No Child Left Behind, and now news that the surge in Iraq is working and the terrorists regimes there nearly destroyed. It’s far better to keep your nose buried in a newspaper and let a leftist reporter and publisher tell you what THEY want it to be, then what the facts actually say. The WIMP president was the President who bang on the bongo drums while bombing a Sudan factory to deflect from his very dismal record on taking on the terrorist who bombed the WTC, and capturing Bin Laden.

The irrational hatred of Hillary Clinton is really ridiculous and symptomatic of the low-level of discourse that many AJC readers are capable of. She is not a socialist (the left wing of the Democratic party do not like her because she is too conservative). While most of the Republican candidates for President have had multiple marriages, she has had one (a marriage which she had every right to get out of, but for which she fought to save — an example of living out her values instead of just talking about them). She is well-respected by both Democrats AND Republicans in the Senate for her leadership and ability to work with others.

For those of you who “despise” or “hate” Senator Clinton, I’d suggest that you think about this as you sit piously in church this coming Sunday.

Why is someone willing to make domestic issues a legitimate cause a “socialist”? I think the real fear comes from the fact that the programs like healthcare WILL work, but will cost GOP friends a lot of dough, and I don’t think anyone-dem or repub-can argue that everything we do isn’t about money when it is all said and done.

Frankly, given the complete and utter disaster this country has become with who is far and away THE WORST person to ever be in the oval office-I would take Clinton in a second by comparison. Now, before you hate mongers attack me in the typical GOP fashion-rest assured I am not thrilled with the fact that she will be the nominee-but she is amazingly smart-and given the fact that the president we have now can’t read, doesnt know history, has a hard time managing the English language, can’t spell, can’t make jokes, can’t tell the truth, spies on anyone/everyone for POLITICAL GAIN-not just terrorism as he lies about (and if you want to argue that point, please READ FACTS about how he was using illegal methods to gather info on innocent American citizens BEFORE 9/11-and it still happened)and doesn’t know how to pronounce INTERNET, Clinton seems like Einstein and a much more viable candidate to lead this country in the exact opposite way Bush has. I mean, are you all truly happy with the direction this country is headed? We now torture, we spy illegally on innocent Americans who we can now literally plunk up off the stret and imprison-without giving them ANY rights-we are bankrupting ourselves, we are hated abroad, are creating enemies who WILL strike back later in life, we are selling off the country piece by piece to countries that FINANCE TERROR, we lose 200K weapons in a warzone, BILLIONS of dollars “disappears”, the Justice department seems to provide everything BUT justice and honesty, we are worsening the environment, and taking away healthcare from kids who really need it.

As a life-long resident of the South and a die-hard member of the Republican Party (IleftthedimswhenCarterwaselected)this polling must been done in a part of the South with which I am not familiar. The Republican women around here are repulsed by the Ice Queen and would never vote for her. I guess they only called women in Palm Beach County or Miami.

I have voted for some Democratic candidates in the past and my do so again in the future, but I can assure you it will be a cold day in hell when I will vote for Hillary Clinton.

Commenters: You people are shamefully uneducated on this presidential race. Perhaps you could actually look at Sentor Clinton’s policies and stance on issues rather than dislike her based on the republican hate-image that has been painted of her. She is more moderate than both Obama and Edwards and has a proven record in the Senate of bringing parties together. Do some research.

Just that statement alone should be enough to disqualify Hillary as a viable choice for President. That she, or her people could be so out of touch with reality…

These people are actually starting to believe in their own fake polls, and the butt-kissing main stream media’s pre-coronation dribble.

Just stop it Hillary. Never has there been a more divisive candidate running for the office of president than you darlin’. People either hate you vehemently, or drink the purple coolaid for you.

My wife is Republican and the last thing she would ever do is vote for Hillary.

If that is what their camp is banking on for the election for a win, they have another thing coming.

Most Republicans and even Democrats find her too polarizing to win the election. The Democratic ticket - probably, but the Presidental election is a whole other beast. Having Hillary on the Democratic ticket would be the best possible outcome for the Republicans.

You don’t think the Republicans have a load of dirt on her just waiting to let go come election time?

I am a Republican woman and I would rather drink my own urine that vote for Hillary. A lot of posts say ‘she’s so smart’ or ‘she’s the most qualified’ I would sure like some evidence of her superior qualifications because I’m not able to find a single one. She sure seems like a big socialist to me (baby bonds, health care for all, 401K supplementation). Wake up people, there is nothing FREE about any of this. The government’s only source of money is the taxpayers and if Hillary gets elected we all better grab our ankles!

My question is “Are the Democrats really going to nominate such a corrupt individual?” If so, they have no idea how much this will energize the Republican women for Rudy. This opinion is coming from a Republican woman who had never voted in her life until I seen the scams the Clintons were getting away with in the 1992 election. The media let the Clintons get away with it then, and their trying their best now, one thing is different this election - the country actually lived through the “Corrupt, Deceitful Clinton 90’s” - so the media may be fooled this time around.

Look at the recent French elections in a liberal nightmare that is socialist France only 48% of women voted for a woman! Also the Hill is only polling what 52% of all democratics. And also Angel re fox. 1) Fox is the only news outlet with conservative anchors 2) All the rest cbs abc cnbc cnn nbc nyt, la times, boston globe, wash post, etc etc are 100% dem activists!

I guess angel we should shut up and shut down fox because why should conservatives be given any air time. So I guess angel that independent thought leads you to believe that instead of 98% Dem activist and 2% balanced but with conservative anchors for the national “news” coverage it should be 100% dem activists?

I don’t base my vote on a person’s genitial or personal back story. I can’t stand it when I hear Hillary talk about personal anecotes on the campaing trail. The story she tells about mothers leaning over to tell their daughters that their daughters may to grow up to be president on day is so phony. She stole that line from Geena Davis’ Golden Globe acceptance speech. At least Geena Davis’ admitted she made the line up for comedic effect.

Look at how much fear is in all these posts. The bottom line is Hillary is going to be President. All the money is on her. After Georege Bush and how stupid and wrong he is, people want drastic change.

Even the Dems that don’t like her much are not going to voter for a Repub, and yes I’m sure there will be some moderate Repub women who are repubs because there hubbie tells them so, will want to see a woman get it. That should not be so hard for so many of you to understnad. But then again you are repubs and kinda thick headed.

Remember when yall said “now you know how we felt when Clinton was prez.” No, come jan 09, now YOU know how we felt!!!! HAHAHa!

That’s what I like best about her, how much she yall hate her!

She’ll be 100 times the prez of your little monkey boy.

I mean take this country off a cliff??? How could thing get any worse, this little litter runt, allowed 9/11 then exploited it!

She would not fly over Katrina and say heck of a job brownie. She’d prolly woop the little wimps butt too!

We live in a terrible country with many domestic problems that need to be handled before we go out and save the world.

Do Dumbocrats think they can just parot, “she will win” and and everyone will just follow along?

I think we could have a woman president- just not this one. I have yet to meet a woman who will be voting for this socialist embarrassment to our country. Perhaps what Penn meant is she can count on a lesbian vote. But not a conservative female vote.

Well, I just did a HIGHLY SCIENTIFIC POLL myself. It said that ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of VOTERS WITH BRAINS would NEVER vote for Mao/hellary under ANY circumstances.

Yeah I think SEAN penn must have come up with this ‘poll’. It is every bit as brilliant as that idiot.

More fraudulent clinton-propaganda. Why don’t they just assasinate all of the GOP candidates? Isn’t that what they usually do with their enemies anyway?

First off, statistical polling data, unless it comes from an impartial source, is by its very nature biased. With that said, it’s about time the Dems figured out that they’re not running against Bush. Whether loved or hated, his time is up and he’s done one way or another. None of the top Republican candidates are from the Bush wing of the GOP and the sooner the top Democratic candidates wake up and take that to heart the better they’ll do.

Now, here’s what’s going to happen in the South if Hil’s the nominee. She’s going to get slaughtered in the general election. Period. Whether the label is true or not, she’s seen as a Socialist and Southerners equate Socialism with Communism. On top of that, Southerners have long memories. They’ll look at the issues and where she stands, sure, but the stuff that’ll stick is that the man from Hope embarrassed the South with his shennanigans a la Monica. They’ll also remember Whitewater, the Rose Law Firm, the McDougals and the Tyson’s Food stock fiasco. All those rumors about Hil being a closet lesbian are going to resurface - frankly, as a Southerner myself I couldn’t care less about that but there are some who will - and, oh yeah…Vince Foster’s unusual death, among others.

I think the South will go for Mitt Romney if he’s the candidate. The fact that he’s a Mormon will factor in but Southerners place great emphasis on integrity and, even if they don’t like all of his positions they’ll recognize that he has it. If Guiliani’s the GOP pick, they’ll reluctantly overlook the fact that he’s as big a philanderer as Willie because they see him as tougher than Hil. They know the world’s a dangerous place right now and, whether he did a good job there or not, the image that sticks is him taking charge at Ground Zero on 9/11.

Just my two cents.

Hillary is going to be elected; deal with it.

Here are the reasons:

1)The entire country is trending Democrat

2)A woman has a strong emotional pull on other woman. There are more woman than men voters.

3)The Clinton’s are from the South, all recent successful Democratic presidential candidates are from the South.

4)This is the first time a popular ex-president will be campaigning for a spouse. Say what you want about Bill Clinton but he is a campaigning machine.

5)No October surprise. All the Clinton’s dirty laundry has been on display and picked over for years now. Nothing left to exploit for the other side.

For one thing - Why would anyone assume that women would vote for Hillary just because she is a woman? I’m not voting for her because of that.

But I did vote for GeoW. twice. I hold an elected office as a GOPer. I will vote for Hillary because she’s risked a lot not saying just pull out of IRAQ - which would have been the politically expedient thing to do.

I am sick of hearing about how poor kids can’t see a dentist in my state. The cost of those children showing up in the ER with related problems is much higher than preventative care. I’m a Republican woman who believes in investing in our children, because the return on this investment is huge.

I can assure you that there is no fear in the dissenting posts here. That’s a liberal trait. Just like you weeneis and “Bush Lied Kids Died” we need to retreat from Iraq…furthermore on fear- this same carpet bagger can’t face Fox news- how the hell is she going to defeat muslim extremists (that want to cut your liberal head off on al Jezeera)? Further, to imply that women are republicans because their hubbies say so…are you gay? Seriously, when did you form your lowly opinion of women? Did your mother abandon you? Or did you inherit her stupidity? Funny that you mention 9/11. Are you aware of how many funerals she went to for the 9/11 victims? She went to none. (As opposed to Giulinani who went to everyone he could.)

Jim (12:59pm)- our comments may not matter much to you, but our votes that won’t be going to Hillary will matter.

Jim (1:05pm)- What exactly are her qualifications? What has she done to prove she’s such a great leader? What (besides socialism) will she be bringing to the table?

Ha Ha (1:11pm)- Actually, the Gay Old Party is that of the democrats…unless you are a hypocrite and calling conservatvies “gay” in some type of insult. (But that whole gay hypocricy belongs to the democrats…push gay marriage, but oust republican senators who “might” be gay…we got your number.)

no way if women vote for hillary they are uneducated and clueless why because any woman with half a brain knows nothing is free & that somewhere someone will half to pay for all these programs whe wants That someone i9s US out of our pockets and all her lies like she tried to join the marines or the one she was named after some mountain climber or defending her husband over rape charges & all his other charges of abuse abd she wants us to trust her??? I believe she would sell this country to the highest bidder. All she’s after is power and $$$$$$$ % will destroy anyone whogets in the way of that so I think women are smarter then that.

Real Republican women aren’t that stupid….Democrats are Socialists -they want abortion, killing unborn babies and from the other side of their mouth, they want health care for all children…not children who are USA Citizens, …ALL Children. Another game… Another Crock…and of course, they all are religious with family values…Oh Please!!!

Republican women voting for Shrillery? Dream on! Unlike libs, Republican women do not base votes on polls, knee-jerk reactions or emotions. We educate ourselves on issues and form our own opinions. We have strong convictions and we do not waiver. Vote for a woman? Absolutely (as long as it’s a strong Republican woman like Condi). Vote for a lib simply because she’s a woman? Never!

What is this guy smoking? I am very conservative and wouldn’t pull the lever for her NO MATTER WHAT!!!! A true conservative would never do that. My philosophy is I will vote for whoever is against her!!!! Just like I did her “in name only” hubby. HA!

Is this the first “Exit Vote” poll of the 2008 election? We remember how accurate they were last time. And does Hillary still channel Eleanor Roosevelt? Who would you really be voting for?

Let me just say as a New-Yorker I’ve seen this carpet bagger woman up close. She is by far the phonies most unnatural woman I’ve ever seen. I switched my party ID from Independent in 04 to vote for Bush, and to also get ready to vote against this snake of a woman in 08. I think I know Republican women now. And they would slit a writs before they vote for a woman like this. Also this a warning to all the members of my gender! Males! wake up! get up! off that couch and stop playing that x-box for sec! This woman’s platform is… I’m a woman and you don’t matter, the day of the cowboy is over and you don’t count. I’m a black male and we never much mattered in the larger picture of things. and the elite are now targeting all males particularly white males for obsolescence. We are all dopes, who needs a woman’s hand to guide us. Just look at all the stupid male commercial out there!? Wake up!!

This is one of two things: either pure fantasy OR use of false data for deliberate manipulation toward a specific purpose. I have to believe the latter since the HRC machine rarely does anything by chance. This is clearly an attempt to get this suggestion out into the media who will swallow it as fact just like all other democrat talking points…and never challenge the validity. Concurrently, I would say it is also a “recruiting effort” for that possible 1% of Republican women who MAY (not likely) say to themselves, “you know, I really don’t care much for any of these guys” and become altruistic about elcting a woman being a worthy cause. Nonetheless, it is laughable since the most vociferous anti-HRC people I know are women. She’s a discredit to them and they feel the most antipathy based on this perspective. Nice try Mark—let me guess about the next one…if HRC selects BO as her VP running mate, Black Republicans will drop their values and beliefs to elect the first black VP purely for the symbolism? Keep believing that we are that shallow in our beliefs and you can plan another election night letdown!

And 35% of Democratic women will not vote for Hillary because of her “Negativity Factor” so she ends up losing more women from her side than she gains from Republicans. Funny how Penn doesnt talk about that. He must be related to Sean Penn Head.
