[serious political discussion]
There was an interesting poll released the other day by Rasmussen Reports (generally considered one of the more accurate polling firms, especially on the days they show your candidate leading) that finds Republican Vice-Presidential nominee Sarah Palin is viewed “positively” by 52% of all women and 65% of all men! I understand the first figure (women split evenly), but that latter figure was kind of puzzling. Until I saw this pic that’s been landing on sites all over the Internet for several days. Now I know exactly what accounts for the gender-disparity: She represents lots of guys’ Ultimate Fantasy: a hunting & fishing buddy you can have sex with, without going into “Brokeback Mountain” terrority! (not that there’s anything wrong with that.)
(BTW: Before any of you fellas get too excited and rush out to switch party registration or something…this “NRA Sarah“-pic is somebody’s Photoshop job. Even so, just the fact that lots of people think it could really be her tells me one thing: if the Vice-Presidential Debate committee decides to go with a Swimsuit Competition…Joe Biden is TOAST!)
