Palin Causes a 20 Point Swing in White Women says Poll

Now this is a very telling statistic culled from this article that should have the Dems running scared.

Voters, particularly women, seem to agree, according to new polls. An ABC News-Washington Post survey showed white women have moved from backing Obama by 8 points to supporting McCain by 12 points, with majorities viewing Palin favorably and saying she boosts their faith in McCain's decisions.

That is a 20 point swing in just a few weeks. That is a number that should keep the Obama campaign up at night. And I think that all of this anti-Palin attack pieces are what is fueling some of these numbers. I think some women are saying "would the media make up lies and post US magazine hit pieces about my family if I was picked to be VP?"

The media is making Palin into a scrappy fighter that is surrounded by media wolves biting at her family and even going after her minor daughter. America loves an underdog and the main stream media is making Palin into one. I think the white woman's vote is crucial for Obama to win and he can't afford to lose it by 12 points. His campaign needs to give US magazine and the New York Times a call and tell them to dial back the heat on Palin or it will sink him
