Since women, all 10 of ‘em, are eventing somewhere in Georgia today for McCain, let’s take a moment to remind the readers of McCain’s deep devotion to women’s issues… since he can’t remember his voting record himself.

For nearly 30 years, Carol (John McCain’s first wife) has maintained a dignified silence about the accident, McCain and their divorce. But last week at the bungalow where she now lives at Virginia Beach, a faded seaside resort 200 miles south of Washington, she told The Mail on Sunday how McCain divorced her in 1980 and married Cindy, 18 years his junior and the heir to an Arizona brewing fortune, just one month later.

The full story, and I do mean full, is here.

Georgia remains Red… if you believe the pollsters. From a May 14, 2008 Strategic Vision poll:

If the election for President were held today, whom would you support, John McCain, the Republican or Barack Obama, the Democrat? (McCain – 54%, Obama 40%)

John McCain	54%
Barack Obama	40%
Undecided	6%

But whoa there, Nellie. Let’s now look at voting data from Center For Responsive Politics and Georgia Secretary of State as presented by CL today:

Amount Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign has raised in Georgia: $1,305,275

Amount Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign has raised in Georgia: $2,458,219

Number of votes Obama received in 2008 Democratic Presidential Primary: 704,247

Number of votes McCain received in 2008 Georgia Republican Presidential Primary: 304,751

Number of votes Sen. John Kerry received in 2004 Georgia Democratic Presidential Primary: 293,265

Number of votes George W. Bush received in 2000 Georgia Republican Primary: 430,480

Painful as it is for ‘em, pollsters are, at some point real soon, going to have to stop deflecting “the cell phone issue” and come to terms with this new Obama demo: young and wired and fired. I’d venture to say many Obama kids don’t even have land lines, the primary data trove trolled by political pollsters.

I know Georgia is about a half century behind the rest of the nation, but can we get some youth-y data ’round this place for once?

What if McCain borrowed some I’m Still Alive tips ‘n tricks from Keith Richards? Shared special Swiss clinic energy serum? Would that help this?
