Why were the male watchers so much more gracious in their ratings in the CNN

[ecstatic]

real time polling of Ohio undecideds? The gender split was glaring. It seemed like the men were more open to Sarah Palin's lies while the women were more objective.

[Jackpine Radical]

1. Tits.

[Dinger]

28. I'll Second That

[PVnRT]

43. Yep

Oh, don't forget that she's "hittable." That's important in winning over the idiot vote.

[Bucky]

55. It's the wink, really. I mean, wink plus knockers ain't bad. But it really comes down to the wink.

Gosh darn it.

[Triana]

2. I can't IMAGINE why that would be..

...:sarcasm:

That better be all I say on the matter.

[Karenina]

42. She appeals to their heads...

the little one, I mean. :evilgrin:

[Bucky]

58. "little"?

Apparently all that money I spent on Extenz has been a waste. Gosh darn it.

(I'll go pop some more and get right back to ya!)

[Triana]

61. aaaayup. That would be it. n/t

[knowbody0]

3. Like the girls on the pole

she knows how to appeal. wink

[Doityourself]

4. Tits and a wink...

[Sarah Ibarruri]

5. Males like middle aged surgically altered females that wink, throw kisses....

... commit adultery, shoot caribou from the air, and have absolutely ZERO intellect?

Think about it... if that's the way candidates are chosen, doesn't it make sense that we've had 8 years of Bush and that this country should be so f****d up?

[TheDonkey]

6. I have NO idea...... Hmmmmmmmmm....

*wink*

[pimpbot]

7. tits and ass

every camera angle either had her face and tits or the wide shot while biden was talking showed her ass in the skirt.

[Mojambo]

8. She's hot and is a VERY accomplished flirt.

As men folk, we're not that complicated.

[ShortnFiery]

18. For the sake of OUR children's future and the Nation. Please, get a f**king clue!

With respect, some of you men folk need to lighten up on your daily dose of Cialis enough to grasp the TRUE importance of the situation. :shrug:

[Blue_Roses]

23. LOL!

:rofl: You need to email this to Pat Buchanan!:rofl:

[ShortnFiery]

37. Oh and let's not forget Lou Dobbs.

Ya know, I have nothing against SEX, but these new inventions of Viagra and Cialis for OLD men ... well, it's seriously creeping me out! :puke:

I know there are women who "get off" out of tweaking these old guys libidos ... but it's JUST NOT RIGHT ... an unbalance - freaks of nature? :shrug:

[seabeyond]

53. you know..... isnt it the truth. n/t

[Mojambo]

38. Relax there tiger.

Every man on this message board, myself included, grasps the TRUE importance of the situation.

Oh, and I don't really need Cialis to get a chubby. At least not yet anyway. ;)

[vanderBeth]

9. Palin is pwetty.

:puke:

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

10. I've said it before

Palin won over the "boy I'd love to fuck her" crowd.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

11. Men are more conservative. (Even undecided men)

[donna123]

12. men like a pretty face

My mom doesn't care for Palin, my dad is charmed by her
but I told him she's a blithering idiot and he was a bit surprised, cause he hadn't yet seen the Couric interview

thankfully, they live in a non-contested state

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. Because women see through the winking and flirting.

We know what kind of games some women play.

[Hepburn]

56. Exactly. n/t

[last_texas_dem]

14. Probably just that the male undecideds are more Repug-leaning to begin with,

as that usually tends to be the case.

[pdxmom]

15. Women have higher standards for other women than men have for

women. Yes, that is a generality, but for the most part, my own life has shown it to be true.

[Obamarulz11]

16. CNN pissed me off. When they asked the control group

Ohio Undecides who will you vote for. More than half raise their hand. Only three people raise their hand for McLame. CNN said that it was 50/50 split

[Ichingcarpenter]

17. Undecided voters?

Take my poll........ The stupidest humans on the planet with the most wealth in their
small minds as compared to someone from Iraq, or an American losing their homes
and jobs.

[pizoxuat]

19. All women have dealt with her type before.

We see it in her winking and fake folksy act, in her abuse of power as governor and her loyalty tests. She's one of those women who can't lead by natural charm and ability, so she sets herself up as a Queen Bee and tries to tear down others to make herself look better. She is no one's loyal friend and sees people only in terms of what they can offer her and when she should stab them in the back. She's the Mean Girl in high school who spreads rumors that you have herpes from screwing your dog because she heard a rumor that the boy she likes might have a crush on you. She's the office gossip who sits in her web, spinning lies to make sure no woman gets promoted ahead of her.

Men run afoul of these women too, but not as frequently and not as personally as we do.

[Jade Fox]

27. Great post!

Welcome to DU!

[TxBlue]

40. Exactamundo! & Welcome to DU

[magdalena]

47. Spot on! n/t

[City Lights]

49. That's Sarah!

Perfect description of her. :thumbsup:

[ShadowLiberal]

20. Studies show women are quicker to decide to vote against women politicians

A study I read on some political site less then a year ago said that women are quicker to decide to vote against women candidates running for office. I think the same study also showed that when women support women candidates they tend to be stronger supporters, but I could be wrong about that part.

That and men tend to be more conservative and women tend to be more liberal.

[TxBlue]

39. SP= NeoCon NOT conservative!!

Jeez Louise!

She's more extreme than barry goldwater could dream of. What makes you think she's conservative???

[Fire1]

21. Sure they are, they'd love to sleep with her!

[kestrel91316]

22. It's all about the T&A. And the "come-hither" winks.

Men look at her and think with their LITTLE heads and not their big heads (except for good liberal men, of course).

[tpi10d]

24. In addition to the points above

Men in general tend to poll more conservatively. They're more likely to vote republican, and if they're independents fall into the more right wing end of the spectrum. Look at the gender spread between Obama and McCain. As a male, I'm glad women vote with more frequency than men.

[1corona4u]

25. Tits and ass baby, tits and ass.

[Jade Fox]

26. The flirting, winking crap.....

does nothing for women.

Women know when we're watching someone who has used her looks to get ahead. It's not sincere. It's a technique good-looking women learn young to get what they want.

[spag68]

29. Palin

Now that I've read the posts, I have to plead with you, don't lump all of us in with the foolishness you sow from the talking heads. Some of us are not so easily fooled by a waving butt or a bulging chest. I appreciate a good looking woman as much as the next guy, but get real, this was a debate with two people, one of which will be the VP. Talking heads have no more connection to reality then actors. If you can't see through Pat Buchanan or the other shills male or female you need to look harder. They say what they have to say, because there has to be some on each side.I believe the progressive commentators express what I as a progressive believe to be true. I will agree, it is easier for a male to judge what a male is saying, and females seem to have a radar that alerts them when a female is not genuine. the truth is that anyone male or female, had to spot the hypocrisy coming from the Palin side of the stage, and no amount of T&A can change that

[joop]

30. MILF effect. And it was a drinking game and we all know how beer goggles help

If you took a shot every time she said Maverick or Noookleeeuhr you would have been shitty by 20 minutes in.

[BlooInBloo]

31. Bewbies, and being called sexist.

[book_worm]

32. I'm a man and so I can say it--most men are stupid.

[ecstatic]

34. ding ding LOL nt

:rofl:

[seabeyond]

54. and a lot of men dont and dont take pride in it. further, they kinda resent this

attitude. i know a lot of men like to think it makes them "appear" more manly, but it doesnt. makes them look stupid. and a LOT of men know this and dont like it.

[Kind of Blue]

33. "the men were more open to Sarah Palin's lies while the women were more objective"

Absolutely! Even my 15year old daughter asked, "Is she flirting with me?" And then we got into the old Monty Python, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, you know what I mean routine. Palin is a clown.

[WinkyDink]

45. Does she go? Do you have any pictures? ......You want some?

[TheKentuckian]

35. She gave me a spliting headache

and I don't like the smell of moose in my bed. I guess I'm immune to her powers.

[GrizzlyMan]

36. Because they view her as a piece of ass

[Raine]

41. Tits, ass and a big head of hair...

seeing all that rather than listening. :argh:

[WinkyDink]

44. The obvious is the obvious, I do declare.

[endthewar]

46. Men tend to lean Republican, women toward Democrats.

[WinkyDink]

48. Because of the perceived macho-ness of the Republicans, Graham, Rove, and now Palin notwithstanding.

Bellicosity.

[endthewar]

50. Palin doesn't come off as macho

More like incompetent. :rofl:

Conservatives will turn on her later after she loses this election. The Couric interview really did a number on her. Conservatives won't like her answer to the V.P. question. Palin named George H.W. Bush as her favorite V.P. because he became President. :rofl:

[liberalMOmama]

52. My hubby is repulsed by her and

has been from the beginning. He finds her type manipulative. I had a friend once who looked like her and was a complete dingbat and he just absolutely loathed her too.

[seabeyond]

57. same with my husband. yesterday he reminded me of a woman that acted like this

at his work. he told me most all men rolled their eyes when she started and tried avoiding her.

[No Elephants]

51. Because they've been intimidated. No one wants to be called sexist.

[barack the house]

59. The Democratic party has large slice of the female vote so most of those ratings would of been Repub

[IsItJustMe]

60. The majority of white males are in the tank for McCain. That may something to do with it.
