Speaker Pelosi fronted a press conference Wednesday of Democratic women from the House who are supporting Sen. Obama.

(CNN) – Amid a McCain campaign push for Hillary Clinton’s supporters, a group of major Democratic congresswomen said Wednesday Sarah Palin wasn’t helping the Republican ticket make major inroads among women voters.

Watch: Dem women back Obama

“By and large her supporters are backing Barack Obama,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a press conference at Democratic National Committee heaquarters, backed up by cheers from over a dozen female lawmakers standing beside her.

“At first, the Clinton supporters were disappointed,” said Rep. Diana DeGette of Colorado. “But in Denver, my district, Clinton unequivocally said she is supporting Barack Obama 100 percent, and all of the women who are supporting Hillary Clinton are supporting Barack Obama.”

Some national polls have shown McCain getting a boost among women voters since he tapped Palin as his running mate. To counteract that, Obama and Joe Biden — who have tapped the services of Hillary Clinton’s former director of women’s outreach — have launched a week-long effort dubbed “Women’s Week of Action.”

Obama and Biden will hold women’s rallies on Friday and the candidates’ wives, Michelle Obama and Jill Biden, have both hit the trail this week for women-themed events.

Clinton herself will also join the effort, joining VP nominee Joe Biden in a women’s online forum on Wednesday night.

Pelosi,

Now you want to speak up after all the sexists rants during the campaign.

If you really aren't concerned about women voting for more McCain/Palin, then why all the women forums.

You left-wing Democrats did it again to us Centrist Dems. Way to go. I have my, "I told you so" ready to send on November 5th.

Pelosi, just sit down and shut up until the PURGE of you, Dean and Reid from your perches!

Guess what ? I say YES YES YES to Palin ,

McCain / Palin 2008

McCain=the draft   September 17th, 2008 7:11 pm ET

Obama has supported and voted FOR ALL women's rights and issues.

McCain, has voted AGAINST ALL women's rights and issues. He is not for equal pay for equal work for women. He supports coverage of Viagra but not birth control pills. He is against a woman's right to choose. The list goes on. McCain/Palin will set women back.

Obama is the candidate for women. Check their voting record.

tickerchill   September 17th, 2008 7:06 pm ET

C'mon now Hillary supporters. Listen up. If Nancy and those other Democratic women are going to go to the trouble of holding a press conference to remind you of what's best, there must be a good reason. It doesn't mean she believes you can't think for yourself. I'm sure men in the House and Senate hold press conferences to remind other men how they should approach the issues.

All this talk about Obama and McCain and Biden and Palin is all so confusing. How is anyone supposed to figure it out? Nancy is just trying to help you understand the issues and refocus your thinking. Sometimes we just need a gentle reminder of how thinking can get in the way of making good decisions. That's all.

Francisco Cardenas   September 17th, 2008 7:05 pm ET

Pelosi is worse than Obama!!

deb   September 17th, 2008 7:03 pm ET

As I read these comments daily I'm amazed or shocked, to be honest, at the ignorance coming from the McCain supporters. The comments (not to mention the poor grammar, spelling, etc.) show how misinformed they are. Nothing they write shows any knowledge whatsoever about the ISSUES. It truly scares me that these people actually get to vote for the most powerful leader of the world.

The Hillary supporters voting for McCain don't make sense. They are only voting for Palin because they are pissed off because their candidate "didn't win" or because the only reason they were voting for Hillary to begin with is because she's a woman! How stupid is that!! I was a Hillary supporter too but, come on people, even SHE is supporting Obama now. She's shown just how gracious she can be...why can't you!?

Bill   September 17th, 2008 7:02 pm ET

Pelosi please get on your broom and fly out of Washington.

Sue in MI   September 17th, 2008 7:02 pm ET

No Democratic voter, male or female, can possibly be thinking of voting for the Lying Duo. Anyone who says that is lying themselves-they are turning out to be carbon copies of Bush and Cheney...and I loved someone's comment on another board-it took Bush and Cheney a few years to decide they were above the law, and Palin has that figured out before the election! Obama has picked up a point every week–the tide is turning.

Ef   September 17th, 2008 7:00 pm ET

Now the Republicans know that the real inteligen, smart, dedicated, honest, good mother and political women are Democrats. They doesn't need lip stick, this girls looks pretty with or without it.
Go Girls
OBAMA / BIDEN

HAWK, TEXAS   September 17th, 2008 6:59 pm ET

CHUCK AND HILLARY VOTERS FOR MCCAIN PALIN. GET A LIFE. CHUCK THE DEMOCRATS HAVE ONE VOTE OVER THE REPUBLICANS, 49 TO 51. AND THAT ONE VOTE IS JOE LIBERMAN, YOU NEED TO CHECK YOUR FACTS BEFORE POSTING, REMEMBER IT IS BETTER TO REMAIN SILENT AND BE THOUGHT DUMB, THAN SPEAK UP AND REMOVE ALL DOUBT.

Griff   September 17th, 2008 6:58 pm ET

How is it? Lou Dobbs recognises the, "Population Growth", USA.. Your biggest problem... It's like a Father with a Family, that is just too big.. Uncle Sam can't carry on like this...

cjt   September 17th, 2008 6:53 pm ET

"Thank You Ladies"
Ms. Palin is truly unqualified. To those that plan to vote just beause a woman is on the ticket May GOD be with you all. I plan to vote and think of my future and the future of my grandchildren.

KE   September 17th, 2008 6:52 pm ET

There should have been a vote for coastal drilling in Congress before they closed for business, but thanks to Pelosi and her cronies, that didn't happen. Anyone who blames the recent past on Bush exclusively is not being 100% accurate. By the way, Pelosi and her thousand yard stare give me the willies.

La Raza   September 17th, 2008 6:52 pm ET

To Chuck, Hello? Maybe you should bark at Bush, he vetoes everything that makes sense!

Voice of Reason = Obama/Biden   September 17th, 2008 6:49 pm ET

Will people stop blaming Pelosi and other superdelegates for voting for Obama. He had the lead in pledged delegates and giving the nominiation to Clinton on the basis that she is more 'electable' is simply code for being white. Pelosi did the right thing.

shannon2   September 17th, 2008 6:48 pm ET

I think McCain should step down and let Palin run with Mike Hawk.

Everyone in the republican party knows and respects Michael hawk, as a strong hard voice for change...he's constantly growing and spews forth wisdom whenever he can. Even though he has only one eye (he's a war hero) he can see corruption and waste clearly, and when he does he explodes in defense of the American taxpayers.

Dump McCain...

give Sarah Palin Mike Hawk instead!

jm from sc   September 17th, 2008 6:47 pm ET

Gary, I can promise you as a successful woman myself, we are not impressed with Sarah Palin. It is tragic to see other people blinded by McCain's effort to con his way into the whitehouse.

Obama won the democratic nomination and true democrats are supporting him. The difference between Palin and Hillary is like day and night. Therefore, people who are still pretending that they voted for Hillary and is now voting for McCain are only voting by race. I say that in all honesty because Obama and Hillary had similar policies. How can a woman with common sense support a candidate that will vote against the equal pay for equal work?

Obama/Biden 08

Democrat....no matter what!   September 17th, 2008 6:46 pm ET

Of course, afterall, women are known to be smarter than men....my wife reminds me of that from time to time. No wonder more men support Palin than women.... why should men look at the issues if you can just focus on her legs!

K   September 17th, 2008 6:45 pm ET

Pelosi, you twit! Stop fooling around with this nonsense and get to work doing what you're getting paid a lot of money to do! You're a hot mess!

McCain Invented the BlackBerry, Palin Invented the Manure Spreader   September 17th, 2008 6:45 pm ET

It's SEXIST for women lawmakers to oppose Palin!!

Emily   September 17th, 2008 6:44 pm ET

I am glad all the hard working women are starting to stand up. Hillary, Nancy, all others got there by fighting to get their voices heard. And that is what we women are looking for. The women leaders who have their own opinions and beliefs to guide us to the better world for women.

One thing about Palin is, this was NOT her voluntary run. She was picked by Rep Party, to read the scripts, behave as instructed, and avoid any media interaction that could ruin her role. She is a puppet chosen by men.

Jennifer   September 17th, 2008 6:43 pm ET

Women need to wake up and realize that just because Palin is a mom with a bubbly personality does not make her a good VP.

People are infatuated with her because "she's like me," and "I see myself in her." You vote for someone based on issues, not the hockey mom of the year!! For 2 election cycles people have been voting for someone on the basis of who they want to have a beer with. It's time that Americans wake up and realize that this isn't American Idol. Our nation's in crisis here!!

MM   September 17th, 2008 6:40 pm ET

Get a reality check. Pelosi and the Democrats in congress lead congress by what - 1 or 2 votes - they are not responsible for the price of gas going up. Democrats control of the sentate is so slim that Republicans can block everything and then the lovely Bush can veto everything. When you all get it through your head - drill drill drill is not the way to go. Research the issue.

Seen it all before   September 17th, 2008 6:38 pm ET

Pelosi has less credibility then Eliot Spitzer so why would anyone believe her? Women in this country are lining up behind Sarah Palin in droves because finally they have someone they can identify with. This is all about trying to turn the tide for Obama but I believe Sarah will prevail.

TCE   September 17th, 2008 6:37 pm ET

How can Palin promote women's issues when she's obviously a puppet used by a man's promotional team? Palin feels more like a SETBACK FOR WOMAN THAN ACTUAL PROGRESS.

John Kaleto   September 17th, 2008 6:36 pm ET

Can you sense it? The dems are panicking. The McCain = Bush mantra hasn't stuck, attacking Palin has backfired, what's next? They certainly can't rationally talk about the issues that concern the American public; that's not their style.

Here's hoping they stay angry for at least another four years!

No McPain   September 17th, 2008 6:36 pm ET

IF (god,help us) McPain is elected – we will have the same stalemate we have now. Congress WILL NOT work with a McCain presidency. Four more years of the same. SSDD

Erika, KS   September 17th, 2008 6:36 pm ET

Funny,
These democrats don't seem to know who they're running against! LOL.
Oh, Ms. Pelosi....Obama is running for President because you shoved him down our throats and Ms. Palin is running for Vice President. Be a good little girl now and talk about what Obama will do verses John McCain, not Palin.

This is really sad. FIrst Pelosi couldn't stand the thought of playing second fiddle to Hillary Clinton, and now she can't stand the thought of having a woman as VP. Pelosi, you haven't DONE ANYTHING EITHER! What a pair you and Senator Obama are! I'm sick of both of you. Pelosi gives a bad name to good women. Get over yourself lady. You're toast!

daniel   September 17th, 2008 6:34 pm ET

Palin's shine has begun to wear out. The American Woman is much
smarter and able to see through Palin's shallow veneer.

Larry-Minn.   September 17th, 2008 6:33 pm ET

Good luck,,,the fools will never get it through there heads...it isnt Hiliary that people dont like it is Obama..and anyone is better then him as a choice.

Becky, Midwest   September 17th, 2008 6:32 pm ET

Oh, please. This coming from Pelosi? Who gave us Obama? Like we're suppose to believe Obama is the best experienced, most accomplished person to run for the highest office?
I say no to Pelosi, AND Obama. Neither one have done squat to deserve support.

AKRON, OHIO HILLARY SUPPORTER   September 17th, 2008 6:30 pm ET

I ALWAYS HEAR THAT PALIN HAS THE DEMS RUNNING SCARED. I THINK PALIN IS RUNNING SCARED OF BEING INVESTIGATED. LOL

BO-biden   September 17th, 2008 6:29 pm ET

ENVY? Bottom line is Sarah new what she was getting into. This is about being next in line to running the most powerful country in the world. I have no sympathy on her. The rest of these candidates have been campaigning for months. She still new to a lot of people. And, not everyone is gonna like her. I don't think it has to do with gender, I think it was just a surprise to everyone.

jr   September 17th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

Too little, too late as far as this Clinton supporter is concerned. I don't tell my friends to go back and get beat up more by an abusive partner. The Democrats are no longer the party of feminists, they are the party for hooligans and thugs. Where were you all when Hillary was getting sexist treatment from the DNC and the press?

Ex-Democrate   September 17th, 2008 6:24 pm ET

Nancy Pelosi she's a joke!!!

Peloski is a disgrace to the American public–PERIOD. Her opinion means nothing to me

forever3   September 17th, 2008 6:20 pm ET

Palin is running for VP, Not president. She is more qualified than Obama. You want to vote for a guy who spent 20 years with a church that HATES white people!! That is racist!

Linda, CA   September 17th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

I voted for Hillary but no way for Obama. For the forst time in forty years I'm voting republican, and so are most of the woman I have talked to.

Jason58103   September 17th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

Nancy Pelosi would be a better VP pick than Palin, and Pelosi should have retired years ago! She's a big part of the problem in washington.

Independent for Obama

GARY   September 17th, 2008 6:18 pm ET

DEM. WOMAN ARE SO IMPRESSED WITH PALIN THAT THEY SCARED. ALL THEY KNOW IS TRASH LIKE THEIR CANIDATE OBAMA. PALIN DONT PLAY THEIR DIRTY GAME. PALIN HUNTS GAME. PALIN HAS MORE QUALIFICATIONS THAN BIDEN,OBAMA AND HRC. THATS WHY HRC DONT WANT TO JOIN HER. I HAD ALOT OF FAITH IN HRC ,NOW SHE IS JUST LIKE HER NOMINEE(GUTLESS) YOU O.B. FOLLOWERS OR NOTHING BUT HATE AND ALOT OF TALK LIKE YOUR CANIDATE O.B. AMERICA WANTS STRAIGHT FORWARD STAND UP AMERICANS LIKE MCCAIN AND PALIN. THEY TAKE THE TRASH AND HATE FROM THE DEMS. ,WHILE O.B.

Melinda-McCain/Palin Supporter   September 17th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

Nancy Pelosi has been an abysmal failure as Speaker of the House. I am a woman, an Independent, and I do not make my vote based on gender. If I thought all female politicians were great, I would like Pelosi. That said, I am a former Hillary Clinton supporter now proudly backing McCain/Palin. I have news for all the nasty posters on this blog. Calling people who support the other candidate names, considering that the country is pretty much evenly split, means that you are insulting half the country. I hold my fire for the candidiates themselves, not their supporters. It is this type of childish name calling and insults that has completely turned me off of the Democratic Party. Children, grow up, make arguments for your case without resulting to these tactics It is the reason the Republicans call you elitist and the reason Republicans have won seven out of ten of the last presidential elections.

ts   September 17th, 2008 6:15 pm ET

Yes, this is what they need to do. Step up and let american women know that if they vote for mccain, then it will be our family in danger. Personally i think that the people who voted for Hillary and now voting for mccain was not really voting for Hillary, because know matter what her and obama is for the same beliefs. So please america WAKE UP in lets take mccain/palin out

You should have voted for Hillary!!!   September 17th, 2008 6:10 pm ET

You have got to admit that Palin's hubby will make the best looking VP spouse to date...

This has all been a popularity contest from the beginning. The majority of people are sheep. Obama fame is old news now.

I am writing in Hillary's name for President in November and anyone with any sense should do the same.

Chuck   September 17th, 2008 6:08 pm ET

Women's week huh. If Pelosi has opinion – I am more than happy to RUN the other way. Her and Reid have really screwed this up for the Dems. Looks like the Repubs are really the best choice now. What with BHO taking sooooo much $$$$ from all those movie stars – are you kidding me in this time of financial hardship? Please. Get real. Where is he really for us little guys? Truth is he isn't. I'll tell you our country is headed for more government ownership if this crazy gets elected. I'm sure you don't want the government owning you anymore than I want them owning me. A Dem vote in 2008 just isn't going to happen!

quent97   September 17th, 2008 6:08 pm ET

Chuck, the reason the Democratic Congress has not been able to do much is because the American people gave an idiot a Veto Stamp for 2...count it 2 Presidential Terms!!!

Michael   September 17th, 2008 6:08 pm ET

The fact remains that the Republicans put a woman on the ticket and the Democrats, who are supposed to support women's rights, adamantly refused to.

Don't hold a woman's forum now. Deal with it.

One Nation Under God   September 17th, 2008 6:07 pm ET

It's funny how the Obama people now love Hillary Clinton and are excessively condemning Sarah Palin.

Weren't you the same people who were trashing Hillary Clinton a month ago??

What's the matter? Are you so afraid of a woman holding high office and having power?

Stop using Hillary Clinton. You spewed hate towards her when she was running and you surely don't have a right to use her now to support your candidate Obama.

Linda   September 17th, 2008 6:07 pm ET

Michelle should have let Obama pick Hillary. What else will she be picking if he's elected. Been a Democrat for 40+ years so I am ready for a change..Go Sarah.

Jolly Old Saint Barack   September 17th, 2008 6:07 pm ET

In spite of Bill Clinton's dotcom bubble and subsequent recession, in spite of the 9/11 attacks, in spite of fighting on two fronts of an icredibly unpopular war on foreign soil... in spite of all this, the eeeeeevil Bush economy ran well and prospered.

Pelosi and company get in charge of congress and 18 months they manage to drag the economy down to near recession levels. In only 18 months! The fear business owners have over an Obama administration and a solid-solid-solid Dem majority in both houses of Congress cannot be fully grasped by most. We know, when the descendents of Marx get in charge, you can kiss and wealth and success goodbye. The only thing spread equally in socialism is misery, and the three-headed socialist beast of Obama-Pelosi-Reid will work overtime to ensure equality in our misery.

Work harder... get punished. Sit on your duff and sponge off the success of others better, more talented and more motivated than yourself... get rewarded. This is a recipe for the collapse of a nation.

maggie   September 17th, 2008 6:07 pm ET

immediately this new woman gets ripped apart before anybody has had a chance to deal with her…

By the same token, this woman was easily accepted by the Republicans even before anything was known about her, or even before she spoke. Just being a woman, what does that prove? You have to have something to go with it besides a prepared speech, dripping with sarcasm and disdain.

Dems are stuck in the fix they rigged   September 17th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

These backstabbing sellout do NOT speak for ANY woman.

Dreamers   September 17th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

Say it enough and maybe you can make it be the truth.

Hillary power   September 17th, 2008 6:04 pm ET

These corrupt female democrats betrayed HRC- I doubt that they speak for those women that they kicked in the butt.

Pelosi better clean up the DNC and her own political house.

Hillary is legend and is more beloved now than she was before she was swiftboated by her own party.

soccer moms for obama   September 17th, 2008 6:04 pm ET

the bridge to nowhere needs to go home.

she is a disgrace to womenkind. she is merely a puppet.
she needs to take care of her broken family.
a mother is not merely someone whoe gives birth.
she needs to get her oldest son in college.
get her second daughter to finish highschool.
and look after that poor baby.

women all unite for Obama.

maggie   September 17th, 2008 6:03 pm ET

This is nice to hear. I was getting a little worried that Hillary supporters were actually going to vote for McCain just because he put a woman on the ticket. Hillary was just not "any" woman, she was Hillary Clinton, and noone can just up and take her place. I hope Obama has a place in his cabinet for her, although I think it would be more fun to be a Senator from New York, or President for that matter. There is no comparison between Hillary and Palin, none, nada. Except gender, and that's about it. Women will be President, HRC has seen to that, I just hope it is not Palin.

Amy   September 17th, 2008 6:03 pm ET

Most women I know are practical. Palin may be a novelty right now, but when push comes to shove we women voters do what's best for us and our families. Right now what's best for our families seems to be Obama/Biden and it appears more voters are coming around to my way of thinking.

Pelosi is to blame   September 17th, 2008 6:02 pm ET

Propaganda.

They do not know what will happen in the privacy of the voting booth.

Too much acrimony from democrats against democrats.

That wound will not soon heal.

But since we DON"T know- can not blame it on Clinton. She is stepping up to the plate. But each democrat owns his or her own vote.

McSameMcCain on myspace   September 17th, 2008 6:02 pm ET

LOL 2 of the last 8 years belonged to the Democrats but the Republicans had it for 6 of those years. What we need to do is throw the Republicans out of the White House, Give the House and Senate and fillabuster proof advantage and see what they do. If it is still nothing, throw them out and go the other way.

The Republicans were the problem. Do nothing when they were in control, get in the way when they are not. They all need to go.

Watergate-Troopergate....History repeats itself.

Susan   September 17th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

I'll vote Democratic to preserve the rights I have now as a woman and hopefully gain a few more (equal pay, for one). I don't understand why Republican women are so OK with losing our current freedoms. If you don't care for a particular right, then don't use it, but geez, don't actively try and get rid of it for everyone else. If you are against abortion, then by all means, don't have one – I can totally respect that. How about working on behalf of all women to prevent unwanted pregnancies from happening in the first place? Isn't that what we all want anyway, regardless of our political affiliation?

pat   September 17th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

It truly is revolting to see Bela Pelosi out there spewing her vile. I am going to be so glad when her and the DNC gang get crushed. Pelosi is a total sell out and she will probably be Barry's first guest on Day Time t.v. come November. The Democrats should be so ashamed of their corruption of the primary system when they STOLE the nomination from Hillary and awarded Barry the sleaze lawyer the golden messiah cup. Pelosi and her ilk need to go crawl under the rock they came from.

Billy   September 17th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

the bloom is off the rose for Palin.

So full of ambition
So full of lies

So lacking in judgment or experience.

Michael   September 17th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

Nancy Pelosi,

Step down.

Carol   September 17th, 2008 6:00 pm ET

yea yea yea...keep saying it Dems and maybe you will soon begin to believe it. I along with everyone other Democratic woman I know will be voting for McCain this election. If our Party had given us a nominee worthy of our vote, we would have been happy to vote the party line.

Jerry Ohio   September 17th, 2008 6:00 pm ET

I love the demoncratic women they are united then ever...
Let go Demoncrate and vote Obama/Biden in the office

Love demoncratic Party

Annie   September 17th, 2008 5:59 pm ET

Oh my, since when do the democratic women decide they can speak for all women now? They ridiculed those who supported Hillary when Pelosi, McCaskill and others supported Obama. I would ask Ms. Pelosi to speak for herself. Perhaps she would like to explain why her Democratic candidate chose someone who has been in the Senate longer than McCain and who dropped out of the race after the first primary while they were unwilling to support the choice of Hillary who had almost half the democratic party support? Is it true that women are really more vindictive to other women than men? I think so!

Leimomi Matunding   September 17th, 2008 5:59 pm ET

I am so grateful to see Pelosi and the rest of the women support Obama.
Here in Juneau Alaska, the women also support Obama. Palin is not making any inroads up here as well.

We will make Alaska a blue state once and for all. Obama and Biden make me feel like a human and a person. There is a lot of respect that these two men have and how they have showed it has been remarkable.

Actions speaks louder than words Palin is all talk but no actions behind her.

Both Obama and Biden have a proven track record to prove they walk the talk!

Linda K.   September 17th, 2008 5:58 pm ET

Envy? You're wrong. We Democratic women are smart enough to see that Sarah Palin is a phony who will, if given the chance, lead this country down the wrong path. Eventually everyone else will see it, too, but we can't afford to wait until then.

Leslie   September 17th, 2008 5:57 pm ET

GARY,
You aren't even a woman so how can you speak for one??
Anyone who would be jealous of that lying pig has no respect for themselves. Jealous of the fact that she is a terrible mother and a worse government servant? No democratic women here could possible be jealous of that! You must be talking about your republican women with the no brains and the "old boys network" that keeps women in there place. We know that Palin is just a shill.

ONE MORE REASON WHY I AM VOTING FOR OBAMA/BIDEN '08

mitchell   September 17th, 2008 5:56 pm ET

thanks ladies. you are proving to be smarter than men.

Fort Collins,Colorado   September 17th, 2008 5:55 pm ET

Chuck...find out how the goverment works..before you point fingers..It took eight years to get to where we are now, the Democrats have had the majority for two..and even then the Repugs can stop any improvement that the dems try to make. The Repugs need to be taken out of office!

RDS   September 17th, 2008 5:55 pm ET

Palin..."She was the biggest celebrity...now her star is fading"...LOL

Albo58   September 17th, 2008 5:55 pm ET

Let's see, the female Democrats feel left out because the Republicans put a woman on the ticket and this is a bad thing for women, in general? Talk about stupidity and selfishness!

cb   September 17th, 2008 5:53 pm ET

Dear Madame Speaker Pelosi,

Thanks for the botched economy... your reign is by far the worst I have seen in my lifetime. You are the failure. Your partisan politics, unwise attacks and improper statements make a mockery of our government. If you are supporting Obama, I will vote the opposite, because clearly, your judgment is seriously flawed.

My comment is not political... but I noticed how women in my office react to a new face, especially when its a smart, professional good looking woman... somehow the conversation gets a little competitive and testy ... immediately this new woman gets ripped apart before anybody has had a chance to deal with her... i get the feeling that its a gender specific issue.. oh well

Why any woman in her right mind would back McCain and Palin is beyond me. Neither of them back womans rights.

Mike   September 17th, 2008 5:51 pm ET

Palins supporters are idiot men who although they face unemployment. Cannot afford gas for their pick up trucks. And just lost their 401 K retirement savings. They just cannot get the fantasy of the beauty queen skinning a moose on the white house lawn out of their thick heads.

LB   September 17th, 2008 5:51 pm ET

So the McCain camp think all women should vote for Palin, only because she's a women, even though we don't agree with her on the issues. Well I guess we women now know for sure why McCain picked her as VP. Not because of her policies, experience or truthfullness, which she has none of, but because he wanted our votes and would do anything to get it, even use Palin' and her sex to get votes. The sad part is, I don't think Palin is smart enough to even realize it.

Nancy from MA   September 17th, 2008 5:49 pm ET

I'm sorry, but Nancy Pelosi is the last person I want to hear from. She and her democratic coherts have had the time while in congress to fix things and they have done nothing.

I am tired of Nancy Pelosi, she didn't support Senator Clinton, which was a major mistake and those that state we are only voting for Sarah Palin because she is a woman is a very sexist remark.

Why is it the banks are all finding out they are bankrupt now? If I had a checkbook and balanced my books I would know when my last dollar was being used. This whole bank bankruptcy timing is a hoax. The banks and Lehman have known or should have known they were in dire straits months ago.

Lets all stop the games and hire the best candidates to fix our country.

I was wholeheartedly behind Senator Clinton, but since she did not get the support from her party we all lost out.

I now support John McCain. He has the experience to handle both parties and get us all back up on our feet.

A group of hundreds of women which consisted of lawmakers, politicians, governors, business women et al. all pledged their support to Barack on Monday. mccain's record on women is dismal, about a month ago voted against a bill that would guarantee women the right to equal pay on the job.

Ken   September 17th, 2008 5:46 pm ET

I am appealing to all of those Hillary Clinton supporters like me that want to tell the Democrat Party that they made a very big mistake by voting for Obama instead of Hillary Clinton.

The Democrat Party ("Super Delegates") made their first mistake by voting for Obama instead of Hillary Clinton. Then they did not force Obama to put Hillary Clinton on the ticket, even through she won the popular vote. And then choosing Biden of all choices as his VP.

Obama caused this down turn himself!

Now that is what I called qualified!

Constitutional Lawyer   September 17th, 2008 5:44 pm ET

Just another example of how two-faced the Democrat Party has become. If the Republicans were both men, and the Democrat Party has a woman on the ticket, they would clearly support the ticket. As long as the special interest is on the Democrat side, there is support no matter if it was a goat pulling a wagon. The next thig you will hear that is is not the issues that is holding Obama back, but racism. What arrogance. After their attempt to steal the election, I'm glad I left the party in 2000

Andy   September 17th, 2008 5:44 pm ET

The only women Palin gets support from are either women who work, have families, believe in God and are strong and confident.

In other words, all women who aren't raging leftists acting as feminists.

LMAO. ALL of the women? Really? You must have not read the news today. Lynn Forester de Rothschild is NOT supporting Obama. That makes it NOT 100%.

If I were Nancy Pelosi, I'd have shut the hell up already. Yes, it is true that McCain voted 90% the same as Bush. More of the same? Maybe. At least Bush has a rating of low 30%. The do-nothing Congress has a rating of low 20% and sometimes teens! That's like 1/2 of Bush's rating. If Pelosi say no, it tells you that taking a chance on Palin is probably a good idea.

I APOLOGIZE!!!

It is not a nice thing to say – so I apologize.

Looking at the picture of McCain abovbe it is hard to believe that Americans would go backward instead of forward. If he really did win it would look like American is going back in time. With all due respect!

America has had a hard time getting starting into the 21st Century – first Bush now McCain?

CNN you need to help the average working American family better understand what is changing in the 21st Century.

As an example check out the “standard of living” of an average working family in other countries – China, Indian, England and even Canada. Do a comparison and see who has progressed since the turn of the century.

Most of average Americans don’t know what is happening world wide – all they see are pictures of Iraq which is not indicative of the majority of the world.

After they see an “objective” comparison let them make whatever decision they want.

This election is not about women or men it is about the average American family. CNN help them out!

ATLEAST THEY WOULD HAVE SEEN THE TRUTH!! And as outsiders we will respect their decision!!!

Any woman who really believes in the things Hillary does has already moved to Obama. Those who didn't were probably republican cross-overs or those too naieve to understand the differences between the Clinton and Palin.

As an independent voter, a woman, and a former Hillary supporter, I am offended by the nomination of the only woman they could find that doesn't really believe in women's causes.

The election is close we all agree, even with Hillary Clinton supporters on side.

They are not the only women for Obama/ Biden '08. NOW – The National Organization For Women have endorsed Obama/ Biden. Why isn't this top news on numerous media outlets – including CNN? I heard about this on NPR – National Public Radio. I encourage everyone to tune in to them and PBS for the best, most balanced and complete coverage of the presidential race...and for all news. It's still NEWS with them versus infotainment with the others. And in this time of crisis Americans need the best information and journalism to help people make the best decisions about our future.

Matt   September 17th, 2008 5:30 pm ET

Yeah, but Palin answered her first two questions today!!! She's a big girl now!!! She even fabricated a new word all by herself, "impactful," to go along with all of the factual fabrications coming out of her mouth :-)

As for all those bloggers here on CNN that are spewing their hatred towards Palin, it just makes me happy to know that I made the right decision to leave the Democratic party. You have really shown your true colors. You are just as bad as the far right Republicans!

My mom is an ardent Hillary supporter, but she is also a child of the feminist movement and was raised by a single mother during the late fifties and sixties. She sees right thru Palin, and the pathetic attempt made by the McCain team to try and steal women voters.

Personally, I think it's sexist that the McCain campaign would think that women would not be smart enough to read between the lines.

Way to go girls! Don't let Sarah Pitbull Palin put women back 40 years. Women have fought long and hard to get equal pay for equal work. We should have the right to choose an abortion if that is our choice, not the governments choice to decide. I for one an tired of Palin's lies, disgrace as Governor using her position to abuse power over others. Not to mention she's dumb as a rock. But then so is McCain, otherwise he would of vetted her before he nominated her as VP. No way could he have vetted her, not with all her garbage attached, if he did then he has no judgement and no business being the President either.

Rodger   September 17th, 2008 5:24 pm ET

Any woman with brains will back Obama. The women that support Palin are the ones that identify with her...6 years at 5 different schools to get a BA, not the brightest bulb on the tree! She loves to lie and is a typical Republican scam artist.

Ladies, you can keep repeating it, but the facts AND THE POLLS show a different picture.

But, it's ok, higher income brackett and men are also moving to McCain / Palin,,,,and AWAY from Backtrack Obama.

Yes, we know Hillary has done more than any other rival candidate in supporting Backslide Obama, but she can't create miracles. It's still BB on the ticket, the man that started running for theh Presidency of the US as soon as he got elected to the US Senate. No accomplishments, no experience, no military, no exec experience, NADA, but an empty SYMBOL of change....(OK, Obama surrogates, time to inject race again)

NEXT!

McCain / Palin
for the country that's alin'

Chris   September 17th, 2008 5:22 pm ET

Good, Hillary Clinton supporters who say that they are backing McCain are obviously voting for the wrong reasons, whether it is sex, race, or they are just pissed off that he didn't pick her for VP. If Clinton supporters really cared about Hillary, then they shouldn't undermine her policies by supporting someone with a complete opposite perspective on govt.

Matt in Dallas   September 17th, 2008 5:22 pm ET

So when McCain chose Palin as his VP, the Libs immediately said "So McCain thinks he's just going to influence the women to vote for him since he has her on the ballot". Now all of a sudden the Libs strut out their female leadership (if you can call Pelosi that) and think that women are going to be persuaded because these women want Obama to be President. Hmmmm..... sounds kind of like speaking out both sides of your mouth. But then again that's nothing new for Libs.

Go McCain/Palin '08

She's fading away so quickly, she may become irrelevant before we know it.

Obama/Biden 08/12.

Ken in Dallas   September 17th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

What Palin has to offer as a vice-presidential nominee is the same as what she had to offer as a weather girl. Something to do with dessert, I think.

voter   September 17th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

wonderful. As a woman, I don't vote base on gender. I vote base on the issues. Palin does not side with women. She is part of the repbulican ticket who does not believe in equal pay for work, ending workforce discrimination for women and women right to chose. Just because she is a woman does not mean that she will be a champion for women.

Hillary Supporters for McCain   September 17th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

Oh, by the way, Pelosi. I saw your daughter on Hannity and Colmes last night. She's as big of an idiot as you are.

California needs to wake up. I voting for John McCain because he really does have a record of working across the isle with democrats to do the right thing.

The scariest thing that could happen right now is for Obama to win with a Democratic House and Senate. Can you say welcome Socialism. The democratic party has been highjacked by socialism.

As far as women's issues go, this at the top of the list. He should get way more credit for this. This Act has helped women AND children throughout this country survive. Palin, on the other hand, forced rape victims in her city to buy their own rape kits...lame...

I can't believe how many people are blind to the fact that Palin was chosen for one reason and one reason only.. to pander to Hillary supporters by putting a woman on the ticket.

That's a pretty powerful image and statement. All those women in high positions of government, including the highest in Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the house, 2nd to only the Vice President declaring their allegiance to Senator Obama. If that doesn't get the Hillary Clinton supporters fired up at least a little, I don't know what will.

MD in ND   September 17th, 2008 5:14 pm ET

S. I"TS VERY SIMPLE, If Hillary supporters help elect McCain/Palin, there is a chance Palin could be President by 2012. She'll have her foot in the door and Hillary 2012 will be a distant memory. Scary, huh?

I'd rather wait eight more years for a credible woman candidate!

People make no sense   September 17th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

So these people are breaking the law to stand by a person. Good show of justice and reform: So Bush and Palin are related.

Direct quote from the AG of Alaska.

"As state employees, our clients have taken an oath to uphold the Alaska Constitution, and for that reason, they respect the legislature's desire to carry out an investigation in support of its law-making powers," Attorney General Talis Colberg, a Palin appointee, told the investigation's manager in a letter released Wednesday. "However, our clients are also loyal employees subject to the supervision of the governor."

Hillary Supporters for McCain   September 17th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Here's my comment:

Go to hell Pelosi! Under your leadership, gas has gone up $2.00 a gallon before a vote to lift the ban on offshore drilling was even considered.

What's really ignorant is that the Democrats think we the people are too stupid to see that they would sacrifice the economy to win an election.

Oh, by the way... Democrats, quit calling me for money. Call Obama. I hear the celebrities are paying well.

Still for Hill, but voting McCain/Palin

Linda from Prescott AZ   September 17th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Sarah Palin is no Hillary Clinton and she isn't capable of doing for women what HIllary and you have done for our nation.
We will win in 08

Peter (CA)   September 17th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

No surprise....Palin does not represent the views of most women in this country. Her views are to the extreme right and it was foolish to think she would sway Hillary voters because she is a female.

It was obvious in her very first speech where she started by praising Geraldine Ferraro. In that moment, Palin became the first Republican to praise Ferraro since.....well, she became the first Republican to praise Ferraro.

Joyce, nj   September 17th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Women with SENSE!

Seriously, Palin gives women a bad name.

How can we go from the depths of Hilary's knowledge, intellegence and smarts to this shallow excuse of a candidate. I'd say it is McCain who is the number 1 sexist! You really think women are shallow enough to vote because of gender?

We're proud of Hilary true but with Palin, John, you insult us!

I don't want anymore deficits. If you vote for Obama, at least, Hillary and Bill can yak and yak at Obama if he does something wrong! Biden will be there to watch him. If you vote for Mccain, you'll leave out the good advices of Bill and Hillary. Vote with your brain, not with your butt!

Come on ladies, keep supporting Obama... he is the only one who is fully supporting all of women's rights.. I wish he was our leader here in Canada!! I find Palin a very conniving lady who has only her own interest at heart... she will do anything to get ahead. And who is looking after her newest child. I am a mother of a daughter with Down Syndrome and we know how much nuturing and one-to-one contact our children need in their earliest years to help them become productive adults. Please vote Obama.

Palin does not support the Democratic agenda so why would they vote for her? You must vote for what you beleive in. People need to look at what the candidates stand for and if it will make your life and the lives of other Americans better.

Do your research. Do not trust just one source for your information. Be informed. This election is too important to waste your vote.

Vote for a better America.

Independents For McCain   September 17th, 2008 5:08 pm ET

This is so funny, The democratic lawmakers are saying that people who supported Hillary are now supporting Obama? What???
Of Course they are going to say that.

Vice President Palin is the most popular person on the planet gaining support not onlt from women but from men. The most popular democratic supporter of Hillary known as the head of the Hillraisers cast her support to McCain/Palin today.

The democratic party is losing it and do not know what to do because they have a ticket with no record all talk.

Independents for REAL Change and REFORM – McCain/Palin

Teleprompter King/Plagerist – Obama/Biden

Regret the Palin Pick   September 17th, 2008 5:07 pm ET

Aides to Gov. Sarah Palin won't comply with subpoenas issued by state lawmakers investigating the firing of Alaska's former public safety commissioner, since Palin "has declined to participate" in the probe, her attorney general says."As state employees, our clients have taken an oath to uphold the Alaska Constitution, and for that reason, they respect the legislature's desire to carry out an investigation in support of its law-making powers," Attorney General Talis Colberg, a Palin appointee, told the investigation's manager in a letter released Wednesday. "However, our clients are also loyal employees subject to the supervision of the governor."

In other words, she is telling them not to cooperate. What kind of crap is this??? Do we want someone in the White House who thinks they are not subject to the laws? Talk about elitist!!!!

Please put this at the top of the ticker.

We need to be fair and let it be shown that those that are educated and want the best for american, have actually chosen the best choice.

I've seen too much about how these women are voting for McCain simply because of sexism. I don't think it's a matter of being sexist (choosing a lady for the sake of a lady rather then qualifications), but rather a matter of education. The women voting for Palin are simply not educated, (although a few of them are probably racist pigs with lipstick).

Obama and Biden don't need this stuff. All they need to do is show women McCain's record on voting for women's rights, etc... It's atrocious.

WOMEN FOR OBAMA / BIDEN!
