Gender Matters-ish

Lifetime's Every Woman Counts campaign is releasing a national survey of female voters tomorrow that will explore their views of the presidential race following Hillary Clinton's concession. The poll, conducted by Celinda Lake and Kellyanne Conway, is expected to provide new information about why Clinton didn't win and how women feel about the 2008 general election match-up.

The good folks at Lifetime agreed to leak one tidbit in advance to On Call:

Asked if voters consider gender important in selecting a veep nom, the majority of women voters polled said gender does not matter: 55% of women voters said Obama's selection of a female running mate makes no difference to them, and 62% said the same of McCain.

The full poll, which oversampled African American and Hispanic women, will be released tomorrow at 1 p.m.
