Thomas Mitchell, editor of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, writes some interesting poll numbers about John Ensign and Barack Obama as between men and women and additionally between Democrats and Republicans. Mitchell concluded “Maybe we’re equal but wired differently?” May be.
The poll is from pollster Brad Coker at Mason-Dixon Polling & Research.

| Men | Women | Dems | Repubs | |
| Excellent | 19% | 31% | 48% | 3% |
| Poor | 29% | 21% | 5% | 48% |
Asked if the affair of Senator John Ensign had changed their opinion of Ensign:
| Men | Women | Dems | Repubs | |
| Like less | 27% | 37% | 37% | 27% |
| No change | 54% | 38% | 30% | 67% |
Asked about whether the staffer’s salary was doubled during the affair was a serious matter:
| Men | Women | Dems | Repubs | |
| Very serious | 24% | 40% | 45% | 20% |
Whether Ensign should resign:
| Men | Women | Dems | Repubs | |
| Should | 25% | 33% | 40% | 17% |

So, read’em and weep, or read’em and cheer. Who knows how people react to things?
