Somali pirates are Muslim terrorists like Al-Qaeda and Ayers

@autotom - wow! breath in... breath out... breath in... breath out... feel better?

I like this question... but if I don't like it, Hubdub allows me to create questions that do interest me.

I sold it on ebay a few years ago... I don't know where it is now... now we just need a major mainstream news source to report my 'claim' ;-)

hahhaaahhaa.... yer funny peace_of_mind... nice satire... Sadam keeping the peace utilizing rape and torture rooms... hee hee, you're right, that's harsh... I love your sadistic sense of humor

@faisal - Will you wager on this? If yes, will you make your wagers on this question public? Just curious.

@dragon - Here's an update for you on that:

U. S. SUPREME COURT AWAITS RESPONSE TO
BERG'S WRIT OF CERTIORARI
FROM OBAMA, DNC and Co-DEFENDANTS
Accordingly, the U. S. Supreme Court has set dates in which Barack Obama, the DNC and all co-Defendants are to respond to the Writ, which is on or before December 1, 2008.

@zeal - You are correct, sir.

Walnuts and his team ran such a poor campaign that they lost... even with the good fortune of an endorsement from Joe the Plumber.

Recent president addressed by their entire name: Barrack Hussein Obama

Because it annoys liberals.

Based on that video, it's going to easily make the top 1000 names, possibly even place 57th or better.

Towards the end of this news report, there is a mention of babies named Barack:

Hee hee... the Govenator could also help Obama with his squats :-D

I was cautioned that some might consider it racist to use his middle name... taking that under advisement and considering he's not racist (I know because he disavowed his racist pastor) NO might be a safe bet.

hee hee... she's worth $2.7 billion... that ought to be worth an ambassador or two ;-)

@john1 - you are correct, it's a great buy, but kind of a long wait.

It is with mixed happiness no tape was released...

As much as I would love for Obama bin Laden to endorse Osama bin Biden...
I love it even more that, if he's still alive, he's just an impotent fool in a cave.

I wonder if anyone thinks they can impress any Hubdubber by campaigning for Obama here all around.

I can't speak for Notable, but IF Obama wins, life will go on. The people will oppose him if he tries to enact radical left wing redistribution policies. If BHO takes us back to the '70s, it won't be pleasant, but we will eventually recover. A BHO presidency would usher in another 1994 in 2010. He could do a lot of damage in 2 years, but a repeat of 1994 would render him impotent for his last 2-6 years. Universal health care (socialism, as I call it) under Billary was, in my opinion, largely responsible for 1994... In the long run a BHO win, while painful in the short run, could be the best thing to happen for the conservative movement.

Conservatives don't have a candidate this time around. The choice is between a moderate and an extreme left wing socialist. Whoever wins, conservatives will have to rebuild the Republican party and bring it back to it's conservative roots.

If Obama wins... what will I do? I will be bummed for a day, and then I'll have fun watching the circus that is sure to ensue... the most entertaining aspect will be the MSM blaming any and all BHO failures/setbacks on the minority party (Republicans). If Democrats had 99% control they would still blame their failures on the opposition. Listen closely to the current Democrats that control D.C. - they love the blame game.

I trust our system of checks and balances will protect us in the future as it has in the past.
Gridlock, baby! Gridlock and bipartisanship... slow those meddlers down!!!

Something about this case just doesn't smell right

Murtha losing his seat is a start...

@deelilley - frivolous?! Did you think that journalists digging for dirt on Palin was frivolous? If journalists had taken the time months ago to dig for dirt on Obama too, perhaps the Democrats wouldn't be stuck with an unvetted and unknown candidate and his allegiances to dangerous radicals.

One speaker likened "Zionist settlers on the West Bank" to Obama bin Biden, saying both had been "blinded by ideology."

@notable - I guess people aren't willing to pay for what the MSM provides free of charge ;-)

I love how the MSM kept trying to blaming conservatives for spreading this story when it started in the Hillary support forums and the lawsuit was filed by a democrat.

Thanks for the video notable... it's great that it's finally being reported accurately.

Interesting, judy... see you on the leaderboards.

Ahhh, yes, perhaps that's why it took so long for Michelle to finally feel proud...

"campaign accessories" Hee hee.... Now there's an all inclusive definition of expenditures :-D

How much did the DNC spend on The Temple Of Obama (“The Barackopolis”)?

Their assertion cracks me up: God probably does not exist. Sounds like they're not very confident in their faith. ;-)

Put on your dancing shoes, grab your coat! We're going to paint the country red ;-)

Hee hee... nice catch dragon01... I didn't notice that... placing an explosion somewhere like handling a hot potato :-D

They don't want to hurt the 'elite packs' feelings ;-)

Why should one group (homosexuals, in this case) have the right to do something (decide to change the definition of a word) that another group (heterosexuals) cannot? Oh wait, they can... but in a civilized democratic society there is a legal process to do so... vote. It would be un-democratic to allow a small group to arbitrarily change the definitions of words.

If gay marriage is banned, the law will apply equally to both heterosexuals and homosexuals. Both could legally marry the opposite sex and both could not marry the same sex.

uhh, yeah, if you could, uhhh, go ahead and uh create a uhhh, question, uhh predicting how many, uhhhh, pregnant pauses Obama, uhhhhh, occur during that uhhh 30 minute, uh, thingy... that would be great.

Here's the audio:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ymy0Woaz81U

@dieseldog - I heard that... stuff like this is why Obama's been hiding him from the media lately.

Here's the quote:
"Mark my words", the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. Were about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you dont remember anything else I said. Watch, were gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy."

@curios - that is true, Australians have more knowledge in their little finger than yanks have in their little finger ;-)

I hope so... I'm tired of McWalnuts playing nice... He kind of started to unload on Obama during the third debate... It seems "Sarah Barracuda" and "Joe the Plumber" want Walnuts to win more than Walnuts wants to win himself.

I propose a compromise solution... we will use the red and blue only in the context of red state/blue state (as coined by Tim Russert) to graphically depict voter preferences in the various states

This unofficial system used in the United States of America is a stark reversal of political colors in most other long-established democracies, where blue represents right wing and conservative parties, while red represents left wing, communist and socialist/socially liberal parties

So if Obama wins, will I be allowed to work less hours and receive supplement checks for lost wages from the wealthy? Or would I have to stop working altogether? He's up in the polls, so I need to prepare for the possibility that BHO wins.

Obama likes to say, "Pie"... I like pie too.

http://images.politico.com/global/obamaguns.jpg

@dd - fascinating theory on who "jane doe" might be!!!

Before this story hit the MSM, I enjoyed reading about this in the Hillary supporters forums. Their theory was that the Clinton's didn't want to appear to be the 'bad guys' by breaking this and were waiting for others to break the story. The Hillary supporters believe the RNC possesses a copy of his Indonesian birth certificate and intend to release it as an 'October Surprise'. They read alot in Bill Clinton's comment that BHO would be a great president if he's eligible.

I suspect that the Indonesian birth certificate doesn't exist and that BHO is eligible and that his refusal to release his birth certificate is due to one of two possibilities:
1 - If he was born out of wed lock, he might be trying to protect his mom
or
2 - His birth certificate might reveal that his birth name was not BHO

Welcome back!!! :-)

He admitted this was above his pay grade... why does he make decisions about issues he doesn't understand?!?!

Eventually, BHO's shady allegiances will haunt him.

Definitely a conspiracy... the letters "Barrack Osama" aren't even close to "Barry Soetoro"

hahaa... great link... I love conspiracy theories... I feel honored, as an official member of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, that I'm included in that theory... thanks deelilley :-D

I love this over extension: Powerful and Continuing Nationalism: Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. Hee hee... guilty as charged! I have the flag of the USA on the back of my evil SUV and on a few t-shirts too

Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights: Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. I plead Not Guilty to this one... I fully support every human's right to defend their person, family and property... although I guess I'm guilty of supporting longer prison sentences for murders and rapists and, although I don't approve of torture, I don't define torture as sleep deprivation, loud music or water boarding... (loud music... hmmm... depends on the music... Rap and Country would torture me but I hear it's quite popular with others)

Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause: The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc Enemies (yes/no): Racial - no, Ethnic - no, Religious Minorities - no, Liberals - no way, their entertaining, Communists - yes, Socialists - yes, Terrorists - yes. RESULTS: No - 4 Yes - 3. Hmmm - almost a hung jury here... I identify 3 out of 7 as my enemies.

Supremacy of the Military: Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. GUILTY as charged, but this is seriously misleading... the oldamericancentury's statistic are based on discretionary spending which is only 30% of total spending... Military spending as a percentage of total spending is much lower than oldamericancentury's opinion.

Rampant Sexism: The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy Obama and Walnuts aren't man enough to be the woman Sarah Baracuda is... she's working on that glass ceiling. Anti-gay legislation... huh?!?! Maybe in Iran.

Controlled Mass Media: Sometimes the media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. NOT GUILTY I am against any and all government regulation or control of the media and I oppose the 'Fairness Doctrine'.

Religion and Government are Intertwined: Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.

Corporate Power is Protected: The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. Yeah, like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

Labor Power is Suppressed: Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed I suppose I'm guilty on this one... I used to be a union member (not by choice) and it seemed to me that the unions were the suppressing fascists... but my opinion is not the popular opinion.

Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts: Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts Like Brittney Spears? :-D My opposition to government funding the arts is that I don't believe ALL art deserves to be funded, I prefer freedom for individuals to decide.

Obsession with Crime and Punishment: Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations I'm thankful for my freedom and I'm not willing to forego any of my civil liberties. Just in case Cheney's listening to my phone calls I enjoy telling him "hi! keep up the good work!" but I highly doubt he's interested in my calls.

Rampant Cronyism and Corruption: Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders This is SPOT on! ACORN won't get away with this forever!

Fraudulent Elections: Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections. Kerry tried to steal an election but thankfully he failed.

Thank you for the nice time, deelilley! I don't believe everything you read but I do enjoy the variety.

Wow, I've had this all backwards... Obama accused me of bitterly clinging to religion and guns... rather than call me his friend, he shared his honest opinion of me.

On the other hand, I find the "my friends" annoying too... I prefer something along the lines of "my fellow Americans"

@robamichael - I was wrong, too.

It's funny that they're fighting this... it would be so much simpler to just provide the birth certificate... unless there's something to hide...

Dual citizenship = dual allegiances

Good ole faithful Communist News Network (CNN): They maintain their 0% Republican Debater win and made me some H$ :-)

Obama has admitted dual citizenship:
“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.

Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982.

If Lolo Soetoro adopted him he ceased to be a US Citizen in the mid 1960s, BY INDONESIAN LAW. He also ceased to be a Kenyan Citizen, BY INDONESIAN LAW. By Kenyan and US Law he retained his Original Citizenships, until his 21st Birthday. By Indonesian Law he could have given up Indonesian Citizenship at age 18, but did he? If he didn’t he was, albeit accidentally, displaying a Legal Intention to void his US Citizenship, since he knew he could not Legally hold both Citizenships.

@gadget666 - you'd be kicking the wrong nuts... please instead kick the movie director and producers for all of us :-D

@greggles - excellently worded settlement and background details, and a great question too!

If the wise category editor decides this can't be settled yet, I humbly request that an admin use their magical powers to rephrase the question to: Which of these individuals will score an interview with Sarah Palin before the election?

Hmmm... I think notable & erik have a point... Who will get the next one-on-one interview with Sarah Palin? Answer: Carl Cameron. Who will get the second one-on-one interview with Sarah Palin? Answer: William Kristol

Since she's already conducted one-on-one interviews, the potential interviewers above cannot possibly settle this market. If Barbara Walters interviews Palin tonight, it wouldn't be the next one, it would be the third (or more) one.

@sqlman - perhaps this would help? http://www.hubdub.com/e/Market/Will_John_McCain_publicly_endorse_an_erectile_disfunction_drug_claiming_that_it_helps_him_take_care_of_business_6686

Man, I wish judges could be sued in civil courts by future victims.

Cool idea! This would be a fun, and frustrating, market!

Thanks for trying, tocm... I would have wagered YES

@dragon - economically feasible... heehee... imagine the mass production difficulties associated with this... and what words would we use to replace Dairy Farm and Dairy Cow?!?!

Fascinating... why are we discussing the bail out on Palin's garment question?!?! I have H$0.00 on this question because I don't know or care what she will wear... bizarre that we exceeded 100 comments on a question about clothes.

The NAACP was three years too late seeing the problem (see the 2004 C-Span video linked above) and the problem was regulation - NOT deregulation. The government (Bush included) wanted poor people (high risk borrowers) to get house loans. Without government intervention (regulation) no one in their right mind would have loaned poor people money (excepting for acts of charity). Yes, I'm throwing blame at Bush and his Compassionate Conservatism too... Compassionate Conservatism is just a more palatable catch phrase for Socialism and just as bad IMHO.

The government created the problem and now the government wants to burden our economy by forcing us to pay for it. I feel sorry for everyone that was ripped off by the governments stupid scheme to give loans to high risk borrowers... but feel-good-kind-hearted-politics is contrary to common sense and profitable business practices.

Amen to those crazy Oregon gas laws, dragon... I used to live in Oregon and hated waiting for the gas attendant to pump my gas.

WOW! Excerpt from notable's link:
The NAACP and Fannie Mae, the nation's largest funding source for home mortgages, has entered into a five-year partnership to provide expanded mortgage financing and home ownership counseling to help underserved and minority families become borrowers.

Hmmm.... I wonder what the definition of underserved is in this context... "bad credit, no credit, no problem"... perhaps?!?!

Obama would love these odds ;-)

I care... so can we settle this as YES now?

Hugh Hewitt masterfully articulated what I feebly attempted to communicate:
The Palin pile-on from the the Manhattan-Beltway media elite also is working a strange and important reaction in the electorate, driving liberals deeper into their blind hate of the accomplished and popular governor, and rallying the conservative base to her cause.

@deelilley - disaster is your word for it, not mine.

@dd - My pleasure... I've been busy lately, but love to chat/type when I can.

C-Span, 2004 Hearing: Covering up the Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac Scam that caused our Economic Crisis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MGT_cSi7Rs

@deelilley - you sound very concerned about Palin's lack of experience... her experience is almost as short as Obama's... so isn't this good news for you as an Obama supporter?

As a conservative myself, I was thrilled and joyful by Obama's selection of gaffe prone and bumbling stumbling and liberally extremist Biden. I was shocked and amazed and thankful for such a silly choice of VP, and now I sit back and laugh as he embarrasses Obama. I criticize Obama frequently because his celebrity rock star status actually gives him a chance to win bubblegum voters, but I don't waste my breath criticizing Biden as much... Biden will defeat Biden.

My point in all of this? I suspect that you fear Sarah Barracuda might be a wonderful, qualified and formidable opponent. If her performance under Katie Cupcake's scrutiny was as poor as your opinion suggests it was, then you have nothing to fear.

Imagine the tables turned and Obama or Biden interviewed by someone with the opposite political persuasion of Katie Cupcake's... could Biden handle the pressure... would Obama avoid controversy by voting present... would that sort of test be above his pay grade?

Have a nice day.

I could game this question by un-installing XP and reinstalling 95 ;-)

I thought she was in love with that other celebrity, what's his name... Obama

Obama campaign is asking Missouri law enforcement to target anyone who lies or runs a misleading TV ad: http://video.yahoo.com/watch/3570822/9872219

To whichever admin reads my flag concerning the multiple predictions bug:

I forgot to mention the other part of this bug... the percentage price I was charged was for the opposite prediction... very weird.

no

yes

Notable's wager dropped me from 97.04% to 96.74%... I need to get out of this market ASAP - Just in case Obama or McCain don't win =D

If they break them, who will fix them? 8^)

@deelilley - Very true... said that they did.

This is a weird night... I agree with my ideological opponents on this bail-out... I'm against it for different reasons, but hey, we found something we agree on :-)

SWEET! If Obama or McCain wins I gain H$3.00!

@tocm - WOW! You and I agree on this one!

@jenni - that glassbooth.org is seriously cool... Thank You!!!

I scored:
74% similarity with Bob Barr (I know very little of Barr but not surprised I lean Libertarian)
59% similarity with John McCain (I expected this one to be closer to 30%)
30% similarity with Barack Obama (Huh?!?! I expected this one to be closer to 0.01%)

Group hug time ;-)

I'm truly non-partisan... I criticize both John the Lettuce-Cross-the-Aisle McWalnuts and the Most Merciful Messiah, Lord Barack Hussein Obama. 8^)

@dragon - LOL... that would be hilarious if safeway sold laptops... they could display the Apples in the produce section under the misters to keep them fresh and the Windows 'puters in the Rx section beside the cold/flu/virus/pain medications.

Wow, notablynoticeable, thanks for that link... that was one seriously tight and close race for first place between Christopher Dodd, the French looking Kerry and the most merciful messiah himself, BHO! Second place is a pretty decent showing for the new guy, BHO. He shouldn't feel too bad losing to Dodd - after some more political experience BHO will probably top the list.

Wooo Hooo!!! - Arnold S (I can't spell his last name) could balance his budget and contribute to our energy needs.

because people just feel very poor

Stores in my area, price comparisons of things I purchase frequently::

Safeway - $1.89/2-liter Diet Pepsi
$0.89/can of cat food

Walgreens - $1.50/2-liter Diet Pepsi
$0.79/can of cat food

Walmart - $1.28/2-liter Diet Pepsi
$0.57/can of cat food

Whether I feel poor or rich, those are some pretty hefty price differences... and Walmart saves me a lot of time by letting me ring up and bag my own groceries... and if I need toiletries, clothes, automotive supplies, or almost anything else I save even more time and gas by making only one trip.

If I won the lottery I would still shop at Walmart (until other retailers figure out an efficient business model that lowers prices and saves time).

IMHO, Walmart is recession proof.

@banana - tocm is predicting McWalnuts loses which would void this question... I'm predicting that the Messiah, Lord Barack Hussien Obama, loses which would void the other question.

Whichever way the election goes, only one of these questions can last 4 years. I wagered on both questions for an average wait of only 2 years... I can't wait!

Wikipedia on Wikipedia!

then we could call them "lucky wackos" ;-)

@dd - Obama's VP must be a pretty smart guy ;-)

If you are indeed who you claim, I'm so sorry for your loss. I've followed the search/rescue efforts everyday... Thousands of people worldwide know that John Parsons is missing, that his family loves him, that the search is extremely difficult due to terrain and wet conditions.

Among the thousands following this story, hundreds pray and hope for his safe return.

I can understand your feelings regarding your families loss appearing here on a news prediction site. I won't defend it or disagree with you. As hope dims it is with frustration and disappointment that I change my predictions. Every morning I check my Google News Alerts hoping to see that Mr. Parsons is found, reunited with his family and in good health.

@Erik - YES!!! it gives me the chuckles too... they finally realized they're not running against Bush :-D

@Erik - and Televangelists calls higher donations a godly act ;-)

It's a photoshoped fake of Sarah Palin on the cover of Vogue.
The real pictures from the December 2007 issue of Vogue can be seen here:

@dragon - NO, she's his only chance at winning.

I would like to request that Election 2008 be voided so we can resubmit Election 2008 with different options. I'm no more excited about McCain than the democrats are about Obama. Pretending to be excited about nothing is taking a toll on the DNC and the MSM, so I extend the olive branch of peace and love and prosperity... let's start the whole thing over. Void Election 2008, resubmit and redo the primaries. This time the RNC could pick a real conservative and the DNC could choose a candidate with experience. It's a win-win for both sides. We'd get a conservative and the democrats wouldn't have to depend on hollow phrases and rock concerts and celebrities and Greek coliseums.

Could we possibly void the election if Palin loses?

Oh, that brings back memories... the French looking candidate from Vietnam!

Curios, did you see this game? Man it was close... the twists and turns knocked me out of my chair! Completely unpredictable but in the end you were spot on it all the way! We would have made a fortune!

Kind of like McCain saying he's a proud liberal conservative ;-)

yeah, dead people disagree with my ideology

@destry - LOL... vote early and vote often ;-)

Wooohooo.... I'm gaming this question! I just voted by absentee ballot for Palin (the first Woman vice president) :-D

Maybe Rev Wright scared him away from Christianity ;-)

LOL... Rush say's of this: Where do they come up with this stuff? It's the gift that keeps on giving.

heehee... I just googled it... man bloggers are having fun with this one :-D

They're looking for a sleepover with people they like!
Huh?!?! What in the heck does that mean?! I wonder if Biden even knows what it means... how did this guy get elected in the first place?!

Maybe I'm just a crazy, but who I want to sleep with is the last thing on my mind when I vote :-)

they need to switch to paper/plastic plates and utensils for domestic tranquility :-D

"Tasergate" - the Democrats are defending a trooper that tasered an eleven year old boy...

Who needs entertainment when there's Politics :-D

I'm looking forward to more of these questions... I'm excited for a YES win :-D

I agree with you too, curios, but will play it safe by betting my hedges.

I think YES will win ;-)

So, are you saying YES wins? ;-)

@randburg - hee hee Cricket is especially confusing today... Who will win...? YES vs NO

Ohhhh... I see... this is an ongoing discussion... the preemptive part was already clarified above... from my backward reading of comments it was like a preemptive clarification :-D

Yes, every president issues pardons... but this question is referring to "preemptive pardons"

Who will win...? YES vs NO... These Cricket questions are above my pay grade.

Hmmm... interesting... Who will win...? YES (70%) vs NO (30%)... YES is the clear leader so far.

The winner is the first object hit

I hope I don't win then :-D

@ratel - That is true... but McCain doesn't need all of the Hillary supporters to win the female popular vote, because Hillary would never have won 100% of the female vote. In 2004 Bush received 48% of the women vote, while 51% of women voted for Kerry.

Some factors to consider:
1. Even against Hillary, McCain was going to win some unknown percentage of the female vote.
2. Some unknown perc
