Gail Collins article in yesterday’s NY Times ridiculing the idea that a significant number of Hillary followers and women in general are going to vote for Sarah in large part solely because Sarah is a woman is true.

It’s right as rain. Accurate as a sniper rifle at 500 yards.

Of course, many others will vote for Palin for other reasons. And some won’t vote for her at all for still other reasons.

Well, you may ask, On what do I base that belief?

Do I have any evidence that many, many women would vote for a woman for so superficial a reason as because she’s of the female gender?

Yes, members of the Peanut Gallery, I do.

The first example that comes to mind:

Barack Obama.

Fact: 90% of blacks will be voting for Obama.

Why?

Is it because he won’t drill off shore? And will keep us dependent on foreign oil. I don’t think so.

Is it because he lambasts the surge and belittles the U.S. troop who made it work? No, that’s not why.

Is it because he’s pledged to gut the U.S. military and cut veteran’s benefits? No. Nobody in their right mind would vote for somebody for that reason.

No to all. That’s not why blacks are giving Obama their vote.

They’re voting for Barack not because of the content of his character or his unpopular stance on the issues; not at all.

90% of blacks are, in fact, voting for Barack, pure and simple, because he’s black.

It’s that little fact that Gail Collins conveniently overlooked.

Virtually all African Americans will be voting for Barack simply because he’s black.

And that’s a fact, Jack.
