Cougar Power - How Far Can We Take It?

There are some who say that Cougar power won American idol for David Cook as the 40 and over women delivered the votes for the rock and roll singer. Cougars also put Sex and the City to the top of the box office, but can they deliver big numbers in the political world?  Are cougars a voting bloc and can Sarah Palin deliver the cougar vote for McCain over  Barack Obama?

At 44 she is the youngest governor in Alaska history.  Polin can certainly relate to this new power block of American women, I refer to as Real Cougars.

Would McCain dare?  Many believe that she is a great veep choice for lots of reasons but if she can help bring women over to McCain she would be a solid choice.  Obama already has big problems when it comes to older women voters and the more women McCain can pry away from the Illinois senator, the better opportunity he has to win.

She is always mentioned as as a choice for John McCain and he has his work cut out for him, especially with his television appearances.  Palin is great on TV and combined with the possible "cougar power" voting theory that might just be reason enough to grant her a VP nod.  Can she pull it off?  We're going to find out very soon.
