Are Hillary's female supporters flocking to Palin?
All over the internet, talking heads in the MSM are claiming, in no uncertain terms, that Palin is drawing no voters from female supporters of Hillary, away from Obama. But what do the female supporters of Hillary, themselves, say?
From HillaryClintonForum.net...
KathyForHillary: I also have been treated with respect by Republicans. On my way to Denver, I sat next to a gentlelman [sic] and his son at the airport. I had my Hillary buttons on and the gentleman engaged me in conversation. He said he was a conservative but he liked Hillary. We were having a general conversation about Hillary and I was talking about her experience compared to Obama when from the seat behind us female voice butted in a said really sarcastically something about Hillary and her experience..absolutely rude and she was eavesdropping...a kool aide drinker. The gentleman and I ignored her. Later, I asked his son, who looked about 18 if he supported Obama, and he said no, he was a Hillary supporter.
On the plane flight home, two people across the aisle from me asked who I was voting for (had my Hillary pins on) and I said McCain. They were also Hillary supporters who would be voting for McCain. On the connecting flight an AA woman sat next to me..(I was worried)..turns out she and her whole family were Hillary supporters.
At the convention, the Obama people were so rude and angry with the Hillary supporters. I told one of them that he wasn't doing a very good job getting unity and neither was Obama...it wasn't Hillary's job to do that it was Obama's. Actually, he agreed with me...but he was very nasty.
Without exception every post on that thread was positive for McCain/Palin. People with Hillary avatars and pro Hillary screen names, all avid fans of McCain and Palin now.
This post is especially telling...
I have always voted Democrat, I was a strong Hillary supporter, I am pro-choice, socially liberal, pro GLBT and I am so proud to be supporting the McCain/Palin ticket!: I plan to send in $$ when I can to the McCain campaign. I can't tell you how thrilled I am the McCain choose Palin as his running mate. I love the fact that she is considered a reformer, has tackled corruption in high places, has Executive experience, a watchdog for our tax dollars, a woman who is comfortable doing stuff with her hands and isn't afraid to take the lead! We have been given a present from above. It can't get any better!!
The rest of the thread continues in agreement.
This is a board with 5,500 members, over 400 of which were online at 9am when I checked. This is not some isolated spot where only a few people post.
This looks like another big secret the MSM is trying to cover up, I doubt it'll be very successful. Censoring people on the internet is not only futile, it often backfires.

From what I'm seeing McCain has drawn off a lot of Hillary's supporters.
