CNN

It is so interesting to hear all of these women go on about how they are "Democrats" voting for McCain. Sorry to burst your bubble but you are REPUBLICANS voting for McCain. I'm glad you are voting for McCain i hope that enough of you do so that there is within 5 years a Supreme Court filled with more conservative justices who will overturn Roe vs. Wade–Guess what follows? Your granddaughters turning up in swamps and rivers–dead from botched abortions or butchered at 17 & 18 so that they can never have children. That's what happened in 1967 & 1968 to females that attempted abortion–which was illegal at that time. Your sons and now daughters serving in the Armed Forces will be picked off fighting in "made up wars" . Any right thinking American should know that Iraq was NO military threat to the United States. If Iraq is a threat–that is not saying very much for our service persons and I happen to think that our troops ARE VERY CAPABLE of defeating soldiers in an undeveloped military that Iraq or Iran can muster. These same voters that are so loudly hollering for McCain are the SAME ones that picked GW Bush OVER McCain 7 years ago. What is so magical different about McCain in 2008? The one question these voters won't answer–Would we have been better off if John Kerry had been elected in 2004? It doesn't take much logic to figure this out-YES WE WOULD HAVE BEEN. Don't vote for Obama–it's your loss.

anybody fighting in Iraq should want Obama for President, so matbe then thay could come home. Isn't it funny that the military has given more money to the Obama camp. McCain needs to go somewhere with his fight, fight, fight til the end not in sight, bull-crap.Can't you just see him and Bush sitting there in their mansons, laughing it up,keeping the war going, keeping the oil prices up, because you do know they're making big money off of it all! I also wonder in the next Presidental race, will we be seeing forums on religion and morals, between the two canidates? It makes you wonder doesn't it, and who could of started all those questions to begin with, hmm, the republicans? Shame on the republicans with their nasty ways. This is who you people want in office?

I don't understand what people are talking about when they say Barack Obama and the DNC cheated Hilary out of the nomination...

They gave her the michigan and florida votes back, her name is going into nomination.... were they supposed to just give up and let her win no contest someone please explain what people are complaining about

Pumas you are aware that the Hillary Campaign was its own worse enemy. All Obama did was run a well organized campaign. You can't take it out on him if you perceived the media to be bias. Personally I think the media was all over both candidates. (Remember Rev. Wright greatest hits that played day and night for weeks.) I could understand being hurt because Hill didn't get the nomination but Obama wasn't to blame for that.

This woman is all for Obama – McSame wants to appoint justices that will take away our right to choose for ourselves – Don't think it won't happen because there are 3 justices now who are older & ready to retire & if you don't think McBush will slip in at least 1 (all he needs to get a majority to overturn Roe v Wade), you are delusional

This registered democratic female voter is supporting McCain. He represents middle America. Obama represents the "new" democratic party – higher taxes for all to help pay for all the 'free" cool stuff for everyone. It's amazing what the wealthy liberals come up with.

I was going to post here but after reading through most of the comments I realized my efforts would be futile. Why do I even bother coming here anymore?

I have never like 1 single republican president my whole life!!!
(In cluding Regan)

BUT I like Mc Cain ALOT,
He shoots straight no Bull. Says what he really thinks.
That answer he gave to Warren about the hardest decision he ever made was very moving, the dedication, the guts, the commitment.

He was so clear so precise so moving.

I have ALWAYS liked 80% of the Democratic Presidents, but this man MC Cain is truly a cut above the rest . How can you not respect this man so much. I am deeply moved and very impressed with this man.

I find OBAMA a GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT.

I honestly don't know where the Obama folks are polling people. I'm in California (long time Dem, by the way) I'm voting for McCain. All my women friends (except one undecided) are voting for McCain. All are registered Dems. My family lives in Florida, some are Dems, some Republicans. My women cousins (all registered Dems) are voting for McCain. My mother is voting for McCain. My sister and sister-in-law are both voting for McCain.The men? All McCAin. And, by the way, there quite a few (!) Hispanics in the mix. I don't see McCain as an extension of Bush. I see him as a man who has time and time again followed his principles and not party politics. That's the person I want for POTUS.

Lisa August 18th, 2008 6:51 pm ET

Once again Obama is out of touch with reality!

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

LISA I ALSO THINK YOU GOT A CRUSH ON OBAMA.

After how the DNC has treated HIllary, McCain looks quite good to me right now! Oblah-blah-blah "sweety" is kidding himself if he thinks he will get the all-women vote. We still have a Democrat majority in Congress, so I am not fearful of a McCain administration! As a woman, I could not vote for a man who takes his children to a church to listen to a minister spewing hate and racism.

August 18th, 2008 6:15 pm ET

I heard that McCain and his senior economic advisor use the “Cone of silence” whenever they come up with these crazy ideas!!!!
this was nice so i c&p o all you puma peeps are ypu really serious on a old geezer who dumped his wife for a skeezer you will all join the umpl
Excerpt of McCain using the “Cone of Silence”
McCain: What kind of tax credit should we give the rich?
Advisor: What?
McCain: I said tax credit for the rich?
Advisor: Yes, I know you are filthy rich McCain. You made $500,000 last month and Cindy made $2.5 million!
McCain: Ok, great idea $500,000 tax credit to people making $2.5 million.
McCain: Bush was right, we can get lot’s done with this “Cone of Silence

McCain is getting this woman's vote and almost every Hillary supporters vote that I know. Another lie put out there by the Obama camp.

They didnt ask me either. As an african american female, Mccain doesnt have my vote, but neither does Obama they arent the only two running.

After debate who can really vote for Obama. I was for Obama ,but McCain show to me who is really in command. If NOT HRC go McCain.

Come on CNN, post my comments and we'll have some lively interaction!

mccain is a fraud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! liar politic.

Pepo reveals what kind of people would vote for McCain. So she's going to vote for the devil; I think that's pretty much what the Haitians did years ago and look at their situation now.

Zeph – give me a break with this "I'm a Democrat supporting McCain" bulls***. Everyone on here knows fully well you are just a Republican trying to make it seem like McCain has something, ANYTHING of interest. You are not even original in your pathetic ignorance.

If you were really a female Democrat there is no possible way in this universe you vote for someone who will send your kids to die in the desert fighting over oil, and overturn womens rights (including Roe.v.Wade) for a generation with 2 Conservatives on the high court.

So take your BS to another forum, Republican idiot.

Wrong again, Obama.

I, and millions like me, will for McCain because, and ONLY because, he is running against you.

You are blinded with arrogance.

Look at the facts.
McCain left his wife for a richer women – the BEER QUEEN. Then his mother went and sued the poor lady (former wife) for the little that she had left of their relationship. MCCain says he didn't know???

Come on!!! He is only using women.

CNN have McCain interviewed by a women reporter and then watch his face. Ask him the question straight up. Even tell him in advance so he doesn't have any excuses or blames the media for not giving him coverage. It does not take a psychologist to figure out – he clearily does not see women as equals.

This is the guy who couldn't answer the question on birth control.
This is the guy that offered his wife up for a top less contest.

What a cartoon combination "Jonny NUKE McCain and the BEER QUEEN"

Just some campaign humour – come on smile Repubs.

This ad has been endorced by the free world

Tucker Bounds is a certifiable idiot, and highly-paid but a low-skilled political hack. McCain may be an old, vindictive, morally flexible, questionable politician – but these Bush/Rove hacks make McCain looks like a real idiot. What a disservice to a formerly honorable Senator.

Louise in North Carolina – Get serious! McCain has CLEARLY PROVEN he is patriotic by his military service. (Whoops – The libs don't like to be reminded of that.) TOO BAD FOR THEM; THIS IS ONE AMERICAN CITIZEN WHO APPRECIATES THAT SERVICE AND WILL NOT FORGET IT. Pff. I can't even believe you needed someone to comment on this.

Rich is correct and Americans are finally realizing it; well, at least the ones that are interested in the record of facts.

Mc Cain talks to all of us. He doesn't practice race/gender politics, that's

why the great reception he got at Saddleback. He put away Obama with

Honor and intergrity, something Obama's millions can't buy him.

Extremely interesting to see Obama melt without teleprompter.

PREDICTION: Obama will say only one debate is needed since people

have already heard quite a bit from him. OBAMA EXPOSURE: reveals

his weaknesses. Dare you to print it.

Why did McCain not tell Pastor Warren during the focus meeting that he (McCain) was not in the quiet area when Obama was being interviewed?

Is McCain an honest man? Now, he has made Pastor Warren look like a lier! There you have it America; there is need for honesty in this nation!

Hillary Clinton supporters are voting for McCain in the general election. We know all about Obama's shady style of politics and we refuse to support him.

I am a woman and I sure would not vote for Hillary Clinton .

well if they enjoy equal rights they won't vote for McCain. McCain doesn't believe women should be able to control their own bodies.

The more I see of McCain the more I like. A young democratic woman voting for McCain. He is such a cutie.

I am a woman and I DO NOT support any of these people.

Do you want the majority of women to vote for OBama? Then simply...put Hillary on the ticket? Not complicated at all.
She can handle Bill........

Do you want the majority of women to vote for OBama? Then simply...put Hillary on the tickey!? Not complicated at all.
She can handle Bill........

well you better think again ............woman have a six sence and we do not trust you at all

Im a woman and I will NOT be voiting for McCain!
Im a republican who supports Obama

What is she (Carly?) talking about. Dean said women were sucessful!
"Her comment there is no place for comments like that?????????
I'm a woman and I love being told that! please stop grasping!

ALSO DID YOU GET A LOOK AT THE SEAL w/Cross of McCain ........
Please go back to home page McCain has found GOD!
Maybe he will make peace not WAR!

I am growing weary of being told by the Obama camp about women. Women value many things that Democrats support. However, we also value integrity. Obama is a bit lacking. We value honesty. Obama has some difficulty with clarity on many issues. And we value respect. Obama hasn't given us any since the start of his campaign. He is unlikely to do so now....unless he can fake it for political expediency, of course.

Why haven't we seen any stories envolving McCain's children from his first marriage?

Could it be that they don't respect him? Are they refusing to be interviewed or are McCain's koolaid sippers, the mainstream media, protecting him like they did Edwards by not bringing attention to his adulterous past? Did McCain threaten them not to make any public statements?

Or that they are following the golden rule-

If you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all. I think that lack of support says volumes about not only McCain's family values but also his morals and his ethics.

I think women are not dumb enough to believe George Bush was a god's messenger and the next messenger will be McCain...like some men believe in the middle of our country.
Women are smarter and they dont fall for this kind of crap..
If you believe just in Bible and Republican party.. then very soon there will be a new country taking our jobs..i guess it will be Philipines...
Wake the F UP

Patricia la Latina August 18th, 2008 7:45 pm ET

NoBama in mi Casa. My son he is in Iraq and I don want this man
for Presidente. This Latina is for McCain.
_______________________________________
Wow, Senator Mccain helped put your son in Iraq and wants to keep him there and you SUPPORT him? As a mother, I simply can't see how you would do that. I would NEVER support anyone that put my son in harms way…….NEVER………………
*********************************************************************
The only way McCain or the US government could put any person's son in harm's way is if the draft was instituted.

For decades we have had an all volunteer military. No one has been drafted. Men and women sign up voluntarily to join the military.

By definition a military is sent to fight wars and protect its nation. When someone signs up the possibility always exists that the person will be sent to fight.

Perhaps you just have a problem with the existence of a military in general? I wouldn't be surprised if you also hold the false belief that all conflicts can be resolved through talking and then sitting around a campfire and singing kum by ya.

If women in the Democratic Party are more successful why isn't Hillary the nominee? Dean is an idiot. Always has been, always will be.
I would like for one of the Democratic women out there to name one thing of national or international importance Hussein has done.
I'll wait a few minutes. After that I have to go to bed as I have to get up early to go to work.
On the other hand you Obama folks will have all night to think about it no doubt.

How this idiot can say that women will not vote for McCain

Obama I am a supporter of yours, but you are wrong that women won't vote for McCain. Those that do not care about their rights, and those that are mad (PUMA's) about Hillary's loss will support McCain.

Older white woman only for Obama/Biden, 08

I wish I could understand the Hillary supporters. I really do. In over 30 years of voting I've had candidates I supported who lost. When some were defeated by men such as Ronald Reagan and GW Bush, I was certain the winners would damage our country–and I was right. Even if my Democratic favorite lost in the primary, though, I took it like a grown-up. My mother taught me good sportsmanship when I was very young. Five-year olds know you have to play by the rules.

But Hillary supporters continue to whine and groan and gnash their teeth. How many have actually read Obama's policy statements? How many know his plans for this country? How many have taken the time to listen to him?

Obama did make a few negative comments to Hillary, but it was nothing compared to the kitchen sink she threw at him. Overall, he took the criticism with grace. And I'm not a blind follower or a "Kool-Aid drinker." I'm an educated woman who knows a leader when she sees one.

We are talking about our country. Do you want four more years of economic downturn–it's only a recession so maybe we should try for a depression. Do you really like sending your kids off to war? Do you enjoy having your consitutional rights taken away from you? Maybe you get a kick out of being spied on. Do you really want the next four years to be like the last eight have been?

if you are a woman who stands by her man?vote obama.
if your a woman who stands behind your man?vote mccain.
simple.

Rezko, Reverend Wright, Father Plaeger, not recognizing Florida and Michigan............tell me what woman or American would vote for this guy?
He's scarey, no expereience and too far out.

I am firmly in Obama's demographic for women voters.

Neither he nor McCain will ever get my vote.

Go PUMA!

Todd,
How dare you throw away what others have fought for. If you really are gay, how does the republican party view you?

I am a woman supporter. I will never vote for Obama.
I wouldn't vote for Obama because he's not fair, too radical and his friends are frightening.

Not that long ago on a blog that spoke of Hillary and Obama one former Hillary supporter made the following statement.

"I dont care about my rights, I'm voting for McCain!"

I am glad to see that a lot of you havent taken this view. I have a daughter, and found these comments made by this individual very disturbing. Do not let ignorant people like these throw away your rights.

I can't get over the silly, inane reasons people say they won't vote for Obama, none of them are on issues. People say he uses race, he's an empty suit, he stayed in a church we don't like, and so on ad nauseum.

On the other hand they will ignore all of McCain's stances on the issues, turn a blind eye to his warmongering, his sexism, and his "old boys club" attitude and say they will vote for him as the lesser of two evils
.
Incomprehensible the level of ignorance in the United States!

You may not be able to imagine what a presidency would be like under Obama but you certainly must know what one would look like under McCain, you just lived 8 years of it for dogs sake.

It's too bad people can't leave their comfort level for once and allow someone who's working in their best interests represent them.

Why should any woman vote for him? Between his voting recard against everything women care for and need and his abhorrent treatment of both his wives – it's as plain as day that he hates women.

And one of these days, when he is again humiliating Cindy on the campaign trail, I hope she turns and lets him have it, right there on stage.

I shudder to think how he treats her at home, seeing how disrespectfully he treatsz her in public.

Women are smart enough not to vote for a older man who would leave his sick wife for a younger richer woman, those men are really heels. I also doubt if many women would vote for a men who wants to control their reproductive choices, those days are over, thank goodness. The woman who would vote for Hillary know the difference between McCain and know that Obama is more in line with Hillary than a Republican would ever be.

McCain does not respect women.........Adultery.........Offering his wife up for the naked beauty contest?

If women care about having complete autonomy over their own bodies, they will vote for Sen. Obama....

I'm an ordained minister and I am pro-choice. Is it because I favor abortion? OF COURSE NOT! It's because I know for a fact and history has proven that YOU CAN'T LEGISLATE MORALITY.

Even The Most High gives us freedom of choice. Think for a second people....

Murder is against the law. So is theft and underage drinking. Does that stop these heinous crimes from happening? If you try to make abortions illegal, you will simply create an illegal market for it and that would result in unsafe procedures and fatalities.

Read your history. Did Prohibition work?

Louis and others below completely miss Hillary Clinton supporters reasoning for voting McCain. This condescending and patronizing attitude must end now! Hillary supporters are not stupid and fully know what McCain stands for. Many of us were fighting the good fight as bill after bill after bill after bill was introduced over the past ten years to attack civil liberties, while some of the white guys on here were skirt chasing at the local supermarket! UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THAT THE DNC CAN BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR HANDING THE NOMINATION TO THE OBAMA AND OVERLOOKING CAUCUS FRAUD, SEXISM and MORE. It should be a clear message of how angry we are. We have voted for Democratic men for 88 years and this is what we get.

Oh, you're saying women won't support McCain because of adultery? Please. Like he's the only one who ever cheated on a spouse? Like there's women out there that never have? Grow up people.

It will be so very interesting to see how many people vote against their own self interests because of deep insecurities and irrational fears.

Obama risky? The risk lies in another eight years of policies that are geared toward taking us backwards instead of forward, back to the good old days when women and people of color knew their place, and not coincidentally, back to a time when rape was an accepted fact of life for women and the country looked the other way as folks were lynched and carted off to concentration camps, their lifes' work free for the taking, based on their ethnicity.

Barack Obama and Michelle Obama are comfortable in their skins. People who are comfortable with themselves can afford to base their policies on reason and give-and-take. People who are insecure about who they are deep down are rigid and afraid of the world... to wit, extremist Muslims (and extremist Christians), as just one example. They then disguise this dis-ease with bluster...to wit our sitting cowboy president, another prime example. McCain is in lockstep.

If you want a rigormortis approach to governing our country, McCain's your man. In fact, the chances he may actually die in office if elected are substantially elevated.

Rich August 18th, 2008 8:03 pm ET

If you watched the Saddleback event you saw an ill prepaired underexperienced young man with a very unimpressive resume for the position he seeks attempting to questions and a competent man of considerable experience and accomplishment answering questions. McCain is ready to be president. Obama needs to learn to lead a senate meeting or a business before he trys again.
________________________________________________
FOOL..can you wake up from the delusion you have been living in, i mean really have you NOt learned anything in the last 8 years? sure...McCain had NO idea what those questions would be...dont forget about the 59 LOBBYIST ruinning McCains camp or the USS Forrestal, or the cheating on his wife (both of them) or his BAD judgment on Iraq or his BOMB BOMB Iran or his gaffes or his flip flopps for pay (off shore drilling)...come on now. he said he would run a clean campaign, he lied then why should we believe he did not hear the questions on Sat. night?

Can't wait to vote McCain! Mistresses – the only way the DNC likes to see women.

I have no love for John McCain and I have never voted Republican in my life. However I cannot stomach the presumptuousness and arrogance of Obama and his supporters. Their attitude is he is already the heir apparent and how dare anyone question him! Never mind how Hillary Clinton was treated by Dean, Pelosi, et. al. Never mind the vicious attacks, distortions and lies put forth by Obama supporters against both Clintons. This is a couple that has done more than anyone for the Democratic Party. Yet they are thrown overboard for an inexperienced pretender who has done nothing but spout platitudes, stutter when questioned and generally act clueless. I will never trust the Democrats again and will register as an Independent in the future.

“Barack Obama is spinning this issue to disguise his support for higher taxes, ..." only for the wealthy like you Bounds!

Don't forget, Obama only plans to tax people making over @250,000, that income bracket only represents 1.46% of all americans and it's doubtful you are affected.

Here's the breakdown people;
$1-$50,000 = 72%
$50,000 – $75,000 = 13.4%
$75,000 – $100,000 = 7.1%
$100,000 – $200,000 = 6.4%
$200,000 – $500,000 = 1.46%
$500,000 – $1,000,000 = 0.26%
$1,000,000 – $1,500,000 = 0.06%
$1,500,000 – $2,000,000 = 0.024%

and so on in ever decreasing numbers. As you see under Obama's plan the majority of all americans will never see a tax raise, but the upper echelons of society certainly will.

McCain's plan gives a break to less than 1% of all americans, the very wealthy. Whose plan does your income level fall under?

I still can't get over the fact McCain accepts and cashes his Social Security check. How effin selfish is that.

MCWAR

WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR
DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH

Will go to WAR AT THE DROP OF A HAT!

THAT IS MCWAR, AND JOHN MCCAIN
MCWAR

In your dreams, Obama!

And since I'm currently reading "The Obama Nation," I'm more committed than ever - as a woman - to vote for John McCain!

McCain did not support the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. In fact his response was

“They (women) need the education and training, particularly since more and more women are heads of their households, as much or more than anybody else,” McCain said. “And it’s hard for them to leave their families when they don’t have somebody to take care of them.”

Talk about missing the point and being out of touch. I spent 7 years in college to receive my masters and at a past job I was paid less than my male co-workers of the same training and education. Of course I didn’t find out about this until after I left. This bill addressed this exact situation and gave women power to fight back. McCain was worried about setting fire to loads of lawsuits. Good point but if companies are paying equally then they shouldn’t have to worry right? We have to start somewhere and I for one am outraged that it’s 2008 and the process has only yet begun. Thinking that the cause for lesser pay is because women have less of an education is backwards and out of touch with reality.

Why would any hard working woman vote for someone who’s holding us back only to protect discriminating businesses from lawsuits?

NO, NO, NO, IF YOU WATCHED THE SADDLEBACK EVENT YOU SAW A YOUNG MAN WHO HAD NO IDEA OF THE QUESTIONS BEING ASKED AND ANSWERED THEM AS THEY WERE ASKED. CAN YOU SAY CHEATER....................MCCAIN IS READY TO BE PRESIDENT OF WHAT? THE OLD AGE HOME.

After the way him and his naive sweet talked supporters treated Hillary and his supporters... I think alot of women will either vote for McCain or simply not vote. Not all have drank the Koolaid and become intoxicated with sweet but not really nutritious sugar talk.

Not all women will support Obama, I can tell you that there are an awful lot of Senior women who will NOT vote for Obama, young women are not the only women in this country.
I am a female and I would NEVER vote for Obama, he disgusts me the way he preaches to the people instead of just talking to them.
He is nothing but tax, tax and more taxes.

Thank You

Please post my first comment

Patricia la Latina August 18th, 2008 7:45 pm ET

NoBama in mi Casa. My son he is in Iraq and I don want this man
for Presidente. This Latina is for McCain.
_______________________________________
Wow, Senator Mccain helped put your son in Iraq and wants to keep him there and you SUPPORT him? As a mother, I simply can't see how you would do that. I would NEVER support anyone that put my son in harms way.......NEVER..................

Remember when

McCain's answer for his biggest moral failure was:

"My first failed marriage?"

Look into that.

One word, flat out:

ADULTERY.

It seems there is still doubt about whether or not McCain already knew about the questions Pastor Warren had asked Obama.

Are the Obama supporters now saying McCain did much better than Obama in their first debate?

Obama is right.

I'm a woman and I'm NOT backing McCain. No Way. No How. Never!

It sounds like Obama has figured out what no man in history has been able to figure out. He knows what women are thinking. That must be how he stayed ahead of Hillary.

Women are not fooled. Chameleon Obama team. Any vote against is better for women. Huge disappointment. No more indifference to the process. Stand up and Vote Against Obama.

The Obama camp better wisen up. I know a lot of women ages 25-85 who are not voting for him. Why? Because Obama is a wimp, he's naive, he's inexperienced, and he has not core policies. Women want a candidate they see as strong, decisive, and will fight for what he believes in. Obama has not shown those qualities.

How would Obama and his "camp" know??? He always condescended
to Clinton's supporters instead of having a respectful dialog with them. I suppose it is not as glamorous as playing to Berlin crowds.

Does McCain ever do anything besides complain Obama for 2008

Perhaps we should start reporting the news appropriately. Howard Dean said that the WHITE PARTY meaning the Republican party is less cohesive to women. What a twist of statement.....That is when Carlie replied. Get a grip people and start reporting the REAL news.

Don't be so sure. RvW is not going to be overturned. Precedence has been set on the abortion issue. I grow weary of such a personal decision being a political pawn. The fact is, there are more pressing issues in the world. Issues that require the experience and leadership of a seasoned man. This is one woman and former democrat that is voting for McCain based on experience. Sorry Nobama.

Why would they? Just look at poor Cindy's hand after John caught her reaching for the American Express card again! "I'll teach you how to spend $850K in one month!! Don't you know Obama's the elitist?!!!"

If you watched the Saddleback event you saw an ill prepaired underexperienced young man with a very unimpressive resume for the position he seeks attempting to questions and a competent man of considerable experience and accomplishment answering questions. McCain is ready to be president. Obama needs to learn to lead a senate meeting or a business before he trys again.

A few months back Obama called a female reporter sweetie. Later when talking to some female senators he said Hillary supporters would just have to get over it. Guess what!!! This sweetie doesn't have to get over anything. After being a life long democrat, I'll be voting republican. We saw what happened when there was a one party house, senate, and president with GW We need checks and balances. If Hillary had gotten the nomination, this wouldn't have been a problem. The good old boys wouldn't have let her get away with anything, I for one have learned a lesson. To much power for either party isn't a good thing.

Please comment on why Obama wears a flag pin and McCain does not? I just realized that I have never seen one on McCain.

As a guy, I'm glad to see women who care about real issues will vote in large numbers for Obama vs. McCain – as my two daughters (ages 23 and 21) will do for the first time in their lives! McCain is pathetic when it comes to issues affecting women.

SEN. MCCAIN: A union - a union between man and woman, between one man and one woman. That's my definition of marriage. (Applause.)
Are we going to get back to the importance of Supreme Court justices, or should I mention it?

REV. WARREN: We will get to that.

SEN. MCCAIN: Okay. All right. (Laughter.) Okay.

REV. WARREN: Man, you're jumping ahead. You know all my questions.

SEN. MCCAIN: No, no, that's - when we speak of the issue of the rights of the unborn, we need to talk about judges. But anyway, go ahead.

WHY GO BACK TO SOMETHING THAT WAS NOT SAID!!! THIS WAS A FRAUD!!!

I may not be a woman, but I am a gay man, and I can tell you adamantly that I will take me democratic A "doublesnakes" to the poles and vote for John McCain, and to heck with rights...I'd rather have the supreme court be full of right wing necons than give a dollar, or a pile of dung about Obama, his campaign, or his "faithful" haters.

And coming from Carly???
Women who vote republican are doing just what their husbands tell them to do.
Women who think for themselves vote Democratic. That's the party that respects women and their ability to make up their own mind.

I would rather vote for the devil than for this old, cheating, pathetic old fool. I am a woman for will vote proudly for Obama !

I'm a woman and I will not back McCain, I don't even like him.
Why is my comment still awaiting moderation?

Lisa,

you may actually be the one out of touch!

Both McCain and Obama are in touch with whom they represent.

That tactic will not work.

It did not work for McCains friend Hillary

Change will come in the name of

Obama

Youth are as motivated as they were in the 60s

That was mor than likey you back then.

Obama 08

McCain will say anything like Hillary

Huckabee would have done the GOP better, Of course time will tell.

Let the polls speak for themselves. Obama is not out of touch try McCain who is trying to do and say anything to wheel the votes in and then the hammer fall. The women need to think hard about this election John McCain doesn't care anything about the women unless you are worth more than Cindy. This is real!!!

Why should McCain care about women's issues? He has not been very respectful of his own wife (both of them actually).

No, personal rights will come under attack if ideologues like Scalia, Alito, and Thomas get on the Supreme Court. Because it isn't about the good of the country or its citizens, it's about making life better for his friends (the guys who make $5M a year).

I am a woman and I AM voting for Senator McCain without a doubt! I know many more who are as well. Does Senator Obama live in the same U.S.A. as the rest of us? I agree with Lisa, he's out of touch.

McCain doesn't give a crap about women or their rights

Look how he treats his wife and what he calls her

Look how he treated his ex-wife

Where do you guys get these stories. Do you just make them up like
Michael Moore the fiction writer. Republican Women are just as successful if not more in the Republican Party. Plus they are better educated and have children in the Military serving our great country.

Husband of a Strong Woman Republican whose son is a Marine.

Carly Fiorina...in an idiot.............Lisa you are a moron too.
Watch the news before you type.

After putting up with Bush for the past 8 years, with all he has done to take away freedoms from women, any woman that votes Republican is stuck on STUPID.

If no HRC no OBAMA. Women for McCain or HRC.

Most people are not going to vote Obama once they are in the privacy of that voting booth.

Obama supporters are simply trying to be trendy liberals who are caught up in the "celebrity" of Obama.

Go McCain!!!!!

Obama is like a pet rock or a mood ring, simply a fad!

I'm a woman and I will not back McCain, I don't even like him.

Lisa – So is Dean!!!!!!!!

I fail to understand why anyone, male or female, would vote for such a warmongering old misogynist who clearly does not have the interests of women or children at heart.

Whatever. I am an Independent who supported Senator Clinton in the primary. I now support Senator McCain. I believe the POTUS is the Commander in Chief, not the Pastor in Chief. If I did want a Pastor in Chief, I certainly would not support a parishioner of a church where it is perfectly OK to GD America. I am a woman, by the way.

NoBama in mi Casa. My son he is in Iraq and I don want this man
for Presidente. This Latina is for McCain.

THERE'S A REASON, WOMEN WON'T SUPPORT MCCAIN. . .LOOK WHAT HE DOES TO WOMEN-INPARTICULAR,
HIS FIRST WIFE. HE HUNG HER OUT TO DRY, WHEN SHE COULDN'T DEFEND HERSELF. . .

Mr. Obama is in touch with and understands the issues that women care about much more than Mr. McCain. Not to mention, unlike Mr. McCain, Mr. Obama has not cheated on his wife, nor debased his wife with shameful putdowns.

If they want to loose many rights

Vote McCain

McCain represent failed Church who cannot stop women.

Women rule

Obama is will to listen to reason

Obama 08

Obama, needs to stop dreaming. There is no way i would ever vote for him. He is using his race too much. I guess you can call me one of those pissed off white women, that wanted Clinton. Obama is a joke!!!

"The colleagues who don't come are staying at home only because they have tough races," the embattled senator told Minnesota Public Radio. "If the convention wasn't in St. Paul, I wouldn't be at the convention,"

well, that...and all the humiliating, hypocritical crimes they've all committed!!! not to mention how all of a sudden they are all now AVOIDING bush, but the fakes were more than happy to ride bush's coattails when he was popular-nice party loyalty!!

oh, and there's that other little issue...THEY HATE MCCAIN!!!!! no one who has worked with him can stand mccain, that ought to tell ya something, people!!!

ps: mccain's FAKE "cross in the sand" story is a TOTAL crock!!!! that incident happened to alexander solzhenitsyn-NOT MCCAIN!!! he just lies to your face like the rest of his neoCON buddies!

I don't know anyone that has been polled. Been hit up for donations like crazy. I know a lot of older independent thinking ladies like myself (over 60 ) and none of us are crazy about McCain but he is the lesser of the 2 evils by our standards. If Obama gets elected I hope that I hear no complaints from the younger voters about taxs or economy or no jobs and opening our borders to everyone and giving our country away. because they will have noone to blame but themselves.

I wonder why? McCain is only against Roe v. Wade among many other things. He shares NO political agenda with Hillary which boggles me based on PUMA's threat to put their support behind him.

CNN you should look into the story circling McCain's comments at the saturday forum. The one about 3 million dollars going to research involving bears. Yeah, he voted for it.

lisa...i am sooo happy you dont mind having McCain telling YOU what you can and can not do with your body. i am soo happy that you dont mind making LESS than a man doing the same job. i am sooo happy that you do not want equal rights..except with the draft that Mccain will re enstate. Lisa, i hope your "reality" is working for you because you are in for a RUDE awakening if McCain gets into office. with all of his cheating, lies and gaffes, with all of his LOBBYIST running his campaign...how can he claim to put country first?

This has to be the biggest joke CNN has ever put up here... *cracking up* excuse me while I pick myself up off the floor where I fell!

Go away Lisa!!!
** Every time someone challenges John McCain, Obama gets blamed.**
TO-Shawn -GA All of this points to young people who for the most part do not hold jobs. No ONE else would have the kind of time it takes to dedicate him or herself to arguing on forums. Strange you surely find the time ...HYPOCRITE!!!

Only very old women, likely spinsters, would dare vote for McCain. He left no doubt about his intent to overthrow Roe v. Wade if elected. Trust that. No offense to old women or spinsters. Maybe really young idealistic Christians might be swayed by McCain's brand of "father knows best" patriarchy, but any thinking woman who gives this a moment of thought wont support the old Viet Nam vet. If not for us think about our daughters.

This from the team that can't say "no" to the Clintons? He definitely needs a reality check!

isn't this what Hillary said about white voters and Obama?

The truth hurts huh Fiorina? Just like in every other minority catagory, the republican party lacks diversity. You can't point to two or three people and jump up and down and say see we do have (blank) support! All America will have to do is look at the entirity of the Republican convention to see who the party actively reaches out to.

Why isn't McCain responding/countering the charge with thier interpretation of the truth?

It looks they're just trying to redirct attention instead of answering the charge.

"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain! I the wizard command you to bring me the witches broom!"

A continued attempt at smoke and mirrors.

Sounds like both Howard Dean and the Obama camp don't know their comments do not endear them to women . . . . remember Obama saying to Hillary that "she was likable enough"? I'm sick and tired of arrogant men speaking for what women think.

Unfortunately, there are some women who live down to the expectations and stereotypes and they will vote emotionally. They WILL vote for McCain because they didn't get their way and they will vote a vote that cuts off their nose despite their face.

yeah that is right all you obamabots. You cannot deny McCain was all over the debate, you have to somehow discredit it so that no one can see that obama does not have all the answers. So you call him a cheater. That is original let me tell you! Then you blame everything on the republicans to discredit them. You forget we have a democratic house and congress that also has a huge say in everything. You cant point fingers at the republicans without including the democrats as well. Go ahead and call the repubs idiots if you want.. it wont help the country.

Lisa, get a clue. If Mccain has his way, women will get less pay, wont have a right to choose and less health benefits. He does have a problem with THIS female voter and a majority of the womens vote in Florida!

Obama just can't get it right.

This women is for McCain!

I am a woman and I will NEVER support McCain or Clinton.

Obama 08

How can women vote for McCain when he told America on Saturday that he promises to put into law that the government will take away a women’s rights over her own body?

REPEAT: WOMEN WILL LOSE RIGHTS TO THEIR OWN BODY!!!!

How can I vote for McCain? NO WAY!!!

POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW

They didn't ask me. What gall the Obama camp has? First you are going to pick a hasbin named Biden or a nobody named Kaine and then you want to think that the women will support you over McCain who does not act pompous? What a crock of bleep!

Keep telling yourself that Obama.

PUMA 2008 – i'll write in a candidate before selecting this pitiful excuse of a person.

Who can blame any rational thinking woman for not wanting to vote for McLame? McLame's is border-line insane about his oppostion to Pro Choice and that should be enough for any person – woman or man – to realize his true feelings towards an individual's right to decide for themselves.
McLame obviously thinks about women and their place on this earth about like the Taliban. Just remember folks, if McLame's gets elected there will be a run on berkas for sure...

"Out of touch with reality"? Doubtful, with 57 percent of women favoring him to McCain's 39 percent, I'd say the proof is in the numbers and those numbers will continue to rise. And with the PUMA high priestess of the pantsuits speaking at the Democratic (aka OBAMA's) convention, perhaps some of these out-of-touch HRC fools will come around.
OBAMA/BIDEN '08 & '12 YES WE CAN!!

Get ready Panamanian McCain more there is more to come!

By the way the person out of touch is the millionaire himself McCain.

Well, women who back this guy really don't know what type of guy he really is.... it's sad that he has fooled them.

I completely disagree, Lisa. It's beyond me how any woman could vote for McCain. He refused to support equal pay. He has shown public disrespect to his current wife, not to mention the way he treated the first Mrs. McCain. He's one of the boys. And I have no use for him.

Well let me speak for about 20% of women, you Obama will never ever get their votes.

The only true, real, deserving American that should be running for the presidency is Hillary Rodham Clinton,.

Obama, you and your campaign, the DNC and the MSM have done a number on Senator Clinton , that we have witnessed and you will experience our backlash come this November.

Not because we are bitter women but because we are W.O.W. WISE OLD WOMEN, who know injustice and inequality when we see, hear and smell it.

And you guys reek.

AFTER John McCain blatantly LIED his ARSE off during the Saddleback Forum, I'm so PROUD of the women who are too intelligent to fall for another LIAR.

John McCain is NOT about women issues, he doesn't CARE about women or children's issues, after leaving his wife and applying for a marriage license to Ms. "Barbie Doll" Cindy, while still legally married, is just DISGRACEFUL beyond belief.

This OLD WHITE HAIR DUDE is the axis of "EVIL"...he has learned from the best, George W. Bush, Karl Rowe, Charlie Black and Mr. "Americans are Whiners – Graham!!! All John McCain knows WAR, WAR, WAR!!! He doesn't care about anything else.

If this doesn't give WOMEN a clue, SHAME ON THEM!

Oh no, here's Lisa, bring it on , we're all waiting to what kind of trash you'll be siptting out of your mouth today.

Women for Obama!!!!!

Lisa-you are such a troll.
Please, save us all the PAIN of having to read your ridiculous posts... we know you are one of the idiotic few that voted for Bush TWICE and now plans to vote McCain. Way to support the advancement of women and your country!!!

Lisa: Did you bother to read the article??

Hey bam-bam, I'm a woman and John Mccain has my vote. I would never be so stupid as to vote for you. You really do believe that people are so blind that they can't see right through you. You are such a fake and you have NO IDEA how to run this country.

LOL! Obama is going to get crushed in November. Kerry was up 24 points this time of year last election!!! Obama is neck and neck...

We might not back McCain, but that doesn't mean we'll back Obama either. He's done nothing to woo me.

Once again, CNN is out of touch with reality. The Obama channel constantly runs stories like this trying to convince McCain voters that for some reason or another we won't vote for our candidate.

The Obama channel and all the Obamabots are especiallu upset because 18 million Democratic voters aren'y going to support their floppy eared, smooth talking empty suit candidate.

I am a woman and a Democrat. Myself and thousands like me are voting for our only viable experienced candidate, John McCain. I'm a member of Women for McCain. Maybe CNN and Obamacons should check it out for a little painful truth.

LMAO... are you kidding...
With all the respect Hillary got from the DNC and Obama.... WoW...

Talk about being out of touch... somebody stop him... he's talking off teleprompter again.... Ha... tooooo funny!

well not necessarily entirely true: women who like to be put down, cussed out, abandoned, beaten, paid less, pimped out, forced to strip and degraded will be voting for McCain.

So let's not pursue the BDSM crowd, the rest should be on our side though.

Lisa,

Outrageous! why do you always have something negative to say about OB? I think you have a crush on him.

Obama/08

Well I'm one woman who will not vote for McCain.

I dont trust him......He always says my friends....hes uses that word too loosely.

His career in politics should be over since he lied and cheated on his first wife.

No to old politics
Yes we can have change with Obama

I know lots of women who will vote for McCain.
Some of them are Democrats like me.

Hey, CNN, did you miss the news about Team Obama admitting that BARRY LIED about his extreme abortion views and record?

Please post my comment. Thank you.

Obama – What Vision – They won't back him, he says they won't back McCain, as of 8/18/08 – they're still pledged to Hillary Clinton!

Hint – whomever selects Hillary as their V.P. does not have to worry about trying to turn states different colors in the last 70 days of the campaign and can focus on the ISSUES.

WoW – a presidential candidate who gets 70 days to tell the American people how they will for their next 4 to 8 yrs on our Children's Future and not on their own political ambitions.

Any takers?

McCain is a fool, an old fool. Its cool to be aged if you are wise, but he is has been a fool all his life.

The reality is Obama is in touch with modern women, modern women's concerns, needs and expectations. And his wife is a strong, intelligent self made woman not an petty heir that could not function in the real world.

Roe v. Wade.....Need I say more? A vote for McCain.....This WILL BE overturned!

SMART women won't back McCain. And THAT'S the truth!

Obama is right, women will break toward Obama and away from McCain. But it sure would be nice to see Obama reach out to women and speak to women's issues, instead of constantly saying women will vote for him because they will not want to vote for McCain. Women should vote for him because the other guy is worse? Correct, but hardly uplifting. He still does not get what women saw in Clinton.....

whats a matter repugs, when a little humor is directed at you, you cant take it like a whinny little boy...what goes around, comes around!

YEAH RIGHT!!

I AM SURE WE WILL SEE THE OUTCOME IN NOVEMBER.

OBAMA IS WAY TOO ARROGANT, FIRST WITH HIS I WILL WIN COMMENT AND NOW WITH THIS. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL HE FALLS FLAT ON HIS FACE.

ANYBODY BUT OBAMA 08'

Tell it like it is, Senator Obama!

of course all woman understand that McWar is jus running for 3rd term of bush, so, im a hillay clinton supporter will be voting for obama
OBAMA 08

Lisa says that "Obama is out of touch with reality"? So then Lisa, do you really believe that the candidate who, among other things, flatly states that his administration would be a pro-life administration is going to be warmly accepted by the majority of women?

Obama is not only in touch with reality, he's exactly right.

The GOP are NOT pro-life, they are pro-birth. There is a huge difference! They advocate that all pregnancies should go to term and the baby be born alive. What they do not advocate is the real pro-life issues: childcare, healthcare (including birth control), education, safe environment, clean energy, etc. The religious right are wrong. They support taking life (death penalty) and abusing and degrading life (institutionalizing foster, adopt and mentally & developmentally challenged people), but they stand for this false mantra of every conception should result in a birth. If they were truly pro-life, then we would not have a 50% dropout rate in inner city schools, the highest rate of incarceration of any industrialized nation (mostly minority), the worst sub-standard housing and schools for many of our nation's children, crumbling roads and bridges, homeless vets and mentally ill to be stepped over or cross the street from, no healthcare at all for millions, etc.

No , smart women will NOT back Mc Cain.

McCain has made clear that he will appoint Supreme Court justices like Scalia, Roberts and Alito. If McCain gets two or more appointments to the SCOTUS, it would set reproductive rights and gender equity back several generations. I can't believe any woman or PUMA would allow that to happen.

Surprise, surprise, this is one college aged woman who will probably back mccain, but will never back Obama.

Women who vote for McCain are voting against their self-interest, much as this moronic country has in the past two elections.

Why would any intelligent woman vote for Obama? This is rubbish!

HAAA I am and younger than Obama. I want a stable President not JOE COOL.

no lisa, you and your old mcsame is out of touch. sen. obama is too smart for you people. comprehension is what mscame lacks

Obama may get get Johansson vote, but not many women are voting for him.

The "new" democratic party takes women for granted and thinks it can do anything it wants to them and they have nowhere else to go but vote democrat. After what they did to Hillary and the extreme left hijacking the party, believe me when I say that McCain is looking pretty good to women right now. Don't take women for granted!

Women are smart! They don't vote for men who lea;ve their wives for the rich "other woman". They don't fall for all the negative ad stuff, because a woman knows a lie when she hears it. They care about their children and this country. McSame is barking up the wrong tree with woman voters!

Anyone who truly believes in Hillory Clinton's leadership would be a fool to vote for McCain instead of Obama. Obama's policies are 95% similar to Clinton's. McCain's policies are 95% similar to Bush. Will any Clinton supporter please explain how they could vote for McCain?

Once again Obama is out of touch with reality!
