Palin getting the women’s vote

Poll Shows Women Voters Shifting Support to McCain-Palin:

A new Washington Post/ABC News survey finds McCain is now ahead of Obama by 12 points among white women, 53 to 41 percent.

Last month Senator Obama held an eight point lead over McCain among white women voters in the same poll, representing a stunning, 20 point shift among that group.

The variable has to be Sarah Palin, whomsome feminists are insisting is not a woman because she is conservative. (They can say that because, in academic-speak, while a person’s “sex” is biological, a person’s “gender” is a political construction.)
