New poll/Old poll
Do voters take a candidate’s spouse into consideration when electing a president? Some say not, but I think so, even subliminally. Swift boater John Kerry sank on his own, for instance, but did Teresa add weight? And on Monday Michelle Obama certainly didn’t help Barack with her “for the first time I’m proud of my country” gaffe.
I think Hillary Clinton’s candidacy legitimizes the discussion. And so I ask it in a round-about way in my new poll:
Which presidential candidate’s spouse do you think would make the best First Lady or First Gentleman?
My last poll question was for conservatives, but tsk tsk, liberals couldn’t help but add their opinion….
Hence 20+% said they planned to vote for Barack or Hillary over likely Republican nominee John McCain. Otherwise, a majority of us are resigned to vote for McCain over a Democrat alternative that makes us shudder.

On the new question… I don’t know much about Mrs. Huckabee or Mrs. McCain. Can we say “none of the above”?
I certainly don’t want to re-live the ’90’s with either of the Clintons.

tsk tsk yourself. You do not own the definition of conservatism.
What would that be, Sally? Enlighten me as to what I am.

Looks like Bill and John McCain have a lot in common.
I think Cindy McCain is absolutely beautiful and elegent. I just can’t tell what color her eyes are. I saw her on the news last night while John was making a speech, and it looked like she had NO eyes.
What would that be, Sally? Enlighten me as to what I am.

Enlighten you? You have to do that for yourself.
How do I see you? A woman that desires power and has no shame in catering to the lowest of the low to achieve her desire.
Therein lies your fear. Women educated and empowered. You have to take them down to feel like you have purpose. You have ego/mental issues.
Does that answer you question?

But don’t you think all conservatives are this way, Sally?
