Palin causing some women voters to think again By RONNIE ELLISCNHI News Service Palin’s inexperience also troubles Gerri Perkins, a decorator from Elizabethtown who is a registered Independent.
She said she was shocked by McCain’s choice and sees it as an effort to attract Democrats who were Clinton supporters in the primaries, something she said may produce some success. She said Palin’s selection, however, isn’t likely to affect her choice this November. “I’m disappointed in all my choices,” Perkins said. “I’m leaning toward the Democrats because I don’t want any more of Bush and McCain voted with Bush 90 percent of the time. I just hope Obama is serious about change.” She said she questions the sincerity of nearly any politician. “You vote and you hope,” she said. But she is pleased that an African American can be the nominee of one of the major parties. “It’s a great step forward,” she said. “We espouse ourselves as forward-thinking people and a melting pot, but this shows the rest of the world what America is really about.” Can a black man be elected president? “I think he can win,” Perkins said. “I think people are so tired of what’s going on and a lot of people are inspired by his youth and his exuberance.” Not Dolores Harrell of Leitchfield who wanted Democrats to nominate Clinton. “I’m disappointed Hillary Clinton didn’t get nominated,” she said. She also thinks Clinton should have been Obama’s choice for vice president rather than Delaware Sen. Joe Biden. She said she isn’t opposed to Obama but preferred Clinton and she’s impressed McCain named Palin as his running mate. “I think it’s a wonderful choice, although I’ve never heard of her before yesterday,” Harrell said. “I heard a little bit of her speech yesterday and I think she intends to do something about the oil problem. I believe she will help (McCain).” Perhaps she’ll help enough to get Harrell’s vote. “At this point I just don’t know,” she said. “I may be voting Republican although I’ve voted Democratic all my life.” Ronnie Ellis writes for CNHI News Service and is based in Frankfort.
