NUMB3RS (...sorry.)

Interestingly enough, what with the numbers in this morning, 62% of men have a "favorable opinion" of Sarah Palin, whereas only 53% of women showed similar results. Similarly, 23% of men have an unfavorable view of Sen. John McCain's running mate, while women stood fast at 30% (which is, admittedly, not very high, but still, interesting, no?). 57% of males believe Palin to be qualified; only 43% of women agreed and, in fact, 55% of women felt Palin is not qualified. And, in the end, 50% of people (read: men AND women) agreed that Palin is qualified to take over as president if something happens to good old Johnny McCain, whereas a whopping 70% of those polled say the same for Democratic VP nom Joe Biden.

Some more numbers follow after the jump.

Biden reacts!

...isn't that a snappy little title? It sounds pretty dramatic, but really it mostly relates to a list I posted earlier from Indecision 2008.

Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden praised his Republican counterpart's acceptance speech as "incredibly well-crafted and delivered," but said Sarah Palin's rhetoric lacked substance. "I didn't hear the phrase 'middle class.' I didn't hear a single word about health care. I didn't hear a single word about helping people get to college," Biden, a U.S. senator from Delaware, told CNN's "American Morning" Thursday.

Not exactly a gripping article, but interesting that it relates to a goofy earlier post. Read on.

borderline equal-opportunity snarkiness

Already I'm feeling a little like I'm attacking somebody who, first of all, I don't even know, second of all, I haven't done a ton of research on, and third, who has a fabulous first name...this letter I found while researching my last post is, admittedly, mostly jab after jab at McCain and Palin, but it's a little snarky towards Joe Biden, who I (also admittedly) haven't done a ton of research on, either:

Because you're old, and you're a white dude, I bet that sexist snark
s not absent from your famous attack-dog repertoire. Because you're
one of the best attackers there is, and sexism has been part of the
radition for a very long time. Don't do it. Be very, very careful.

Anyway, here's the link to the letter (no, not HERE, back there at the FIRST "here." Oh, fine, here it is again. Happy?). Read on, dear readers!
