Yes I have noticed that too. Isn´t it interesting?

I did manage to create a proper poll after this message appeared by mistake. I wonder if the result changes when people vote in an anonimous poll?

Your bias to Obama shows in your questions.

I have a feeling that we female politicos who are crazy enough to post on an Internet board are not the type that would be swayed simply because someone with the same reproductive organs was placed on a Presidential ticket, though. I don't think they're trying to attract women who are actively engaged in politics, is what I mean.

I am soooo technoligically challenged that by mistake I created a first thread without the poll and immediately after this one.

Sorry for the confusion.

Yes, if I could I would vote for Obama and I am not trying to hide that but I did try to make the choices as similar as possible for the two candidates.

a lot of people are to young to remember what the 60's was like with woman's movements. you bet your ass they will be voting for mccain/palin to push the point, even in they go in there praising obama.

historically woman vote based on looks and charm, now they can vote on sex. easiest vote for them yet.

why do you think this is a big thing for hillary? she knows how many woman will vote her, just to vote a woman...

Three votes for McCain in the poll that allows anonymity.

Hmmm women are either ashamed of themselves for supporting that ticket or men are voting in the poll.
