But the nomination of Governor Sarah Palin to the Republican ticket has added a surprise twist to the dynamics &#8211; one that involves both race and gender. A poll released by Washington Post and ABC News just after John McCain picked Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate suggested that the Republican strategy of drawing white women voters away from Democrat Barack Obama had worked. According to that poll McCain was ahead of Obama by 12 points among white women. Whereas last month, Obama had been leading McCain by 8 points among the same demographic. But a newer poll by CNN and Opinion Research Corporation shows that in fact Obama was losing white women before the conventions and that trend now continues. White women supporters of Senator Hillary Clinton were angry about their candidate losing to Obama before the conventions began. Many threatened to boycott the party entirely and vote for McCain instead. <\/p>\n<p><em>GUEST: Tim Wise is an anti-racist writer and educator, author of White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son, and his new book is called Speaking Treason Fluently: Anti-racist Reflections From an Angry White Male<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Read Tim Wise&#8217;s essay, &#8220;This is Your Nation on White Privilege&#8221; here: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redroom.com\/blog\/tim-wise\/this-your-nation-white-privilege\">http:\/\/www.redroom.com\/blog\/tim-wise\/this-your-nation-white-privilege<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.timwise.org\">www.timwise.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program The nomination of Senator Barack Obama was sure to bring in a slew of racial politics to the forefront in this year&#8217;s Presidential elections.
