"OMFG, did you see today's poll?"

"How about those 49ers?"

"Oh,no, Ben the Bachelor is breaking up with Courtney Robertson!" (sadly, that is BIG NEWS in our neck of the woods)

and on and on and on...

I Saw in one poll that the 20 point lead Obama had with women had been erased and they are now even. I just cannot believe that. It makes no sense particularly given the position that Ryan and Romney have on Roe V. Wade, birth control and Equal Pay for Equal work, among other issues.

I just can't and won't believe that women are that wishy washy. And the positions of Romney and Ryan are NOT well guarded secrets.

I was wondering how the question was posed in the poll and in what order were questions asked. That can make a difference in the response you get.

No matter.....I am not buying it. I heard someone saying that women responded NEGATIVELY to Romney's aggressive and rude behavior in the debate. So it doesn't make sense to me that they would then endorse HIM after he acted like such a pompous jackass last week.

group as the GOPers who screamed that the polls were rigged and the Labor Stats were doctored.

I wonder if women who got polled were just extremely PISSED that Women's Issues were not even mentioned? That's a stretch, but still, I know I'm really ticked about it right now.

It''s like if the media doesn't talk about it, it doesn't exist? WTF??

Are rigged. Especially if we are saying ALL of them are wrong. But I think this was just reported in one poll. Maybe it was the Pew Poll? I am starting to get foggy brain trying to keep up with who said what!!! In any case, that's why I was wondering how the question was worded and in what order.

The last thing I want to do is sound like the other side who seem to go into their sour grapes mode any time they don't like the report. But I do think we need to ask who is doing the poll, how many were sampled and margin of error. Just the basics of evaluating whether a poll is credible. In some cases, they will come out clean as a whistle. But when something changes 20 points in a very short time, I just think it bears scrutiny. And even more so when it is a HUGE voting block.

We got some serious issues going on here and the ride is getting rougher every day. We need each other to ride out this storm!

cause that big a loss in women's support. My guess is that they oversampled Republican women. A right wing stand against abortion rights and contraception among female fundies might have been the reason. But we never had them in our camp anyway.

Why do Dems ignore the implications for the Supreme Court? Is that a losing issue? The court is thisclose to tilting far enough right that our entire future will be screwed. Does anyone think Ginsburg will last on the court for four more years? I never understand why this isn't made an issue.

Maybe it's just me, but if that was my ONLY reason to vote Obama, I'd drag myself over hot coals and broken glass to vote.
