It's easy to surprise a nation that isn't looking for an attack; i.e. Pearl Harbor, the USS Maine, 9-11. It's harder for the enemy to attack a nation that is prepared and alert. Although I disagree with the politically correct methods our airlines and Homeland Defense have set up to prevent the next set of hijackings. I'm also sure that if they are able to launch another attack, they will use a totally different tactic. But I do agree with your assessment that a dhimmi win will make it much easier for the terrorists to attack us... or just allow O'Bambi and the dhimmi congress to surrender. Hey! Burkhas for all! Death to all pork eaters! One Nation, under Alllahallahallahhh. SJ, I think the reason we haven’t had another attack is because we took the battle to their doorstep.

Poll: Palin Less Popular with Women Voters Than with Men

By Massimo Calabresi Thursday, Oct. 02, 2008

As Sarah Palin braces for her vice-presidential debate tonight with Joe Biden, a new TIME poll shows the Alaska Governor is surprisingly unpopular among likely women voters.

Overall, Palin is viewed favorably by 47% of likely voters and unfavorably by 40%. But her numbers are worse among women than men: 45% of all women surveyed have a negative opinion of Palin, compared to 42% who view her positively. Fifty-two percent of men have a favorable opinion, while 35% are in the unfavorable camp…

Aren’t polls amazing things.

They somehow always manage to tell us exactly what our one party media wants us to be told.

The democrat party is more guilty of terrorism than the muslims could ever hope to be. With political correctness and socialist agendas as their weapons of choice, they have successfully chopped a great country to pieces in less than two years. Democrats and muslims. Two of the most virulent plagues against liberty that ever crawled the earth. the reason we havent had a terror attack in seven years, in my opinion, is because Al Qaida is telling every terrorist to just sit back, and let America destroy itself.

Only our MSM would consider its own polls and assessments valuable after having beaten the Republican VP candidate close to death since the announcement of her selection. All of the vile descriptions of the press have been made; they are all of those things and much more. More than any of those things, they are liars. They don't know the truth or won't use the truth. The damage to our nation brought about be these treacherous people may never be known. The self-fulfilling prophecy raises its ugly head once again.

The drivel I’ve been reading lately (when one can get past the bs on the economy) is that Gov Palin isn’t experienced enough to be President, well: 1) newsflash: she isn’t running for President, 2) Did that mean President Carter & Clinton weren’t experienced enough to be President (yes, I know the answer to that – but once again, see #1).

The "Director of Polling" for one of the big three news organizations (And, no, I don't remember which one now) was on a message board and people were grilling him about the tactics and methods of the polls; he accused anyone of disagreeing with him of being told to be there by a "membership organization," a thinly veiled slight at the NRA. If the guy running the polls has his mind set, how can we trust anything he says? Also, all this weighting and adjusting of the polls, either report the numbers and what you asked, or don't bother. If you only got ahold of 25 college students in Berkeley for your survey about how Obama will save us or McCain will lose, then say so. As for Palin, it's time to let her personality roar. I'm about 100 miles from Ground Zero on this debate and I can hear the Liberals rubbing their palms from here; let's just hop Biden helps her out by sticking his foot in his mouth again.
