What bothers me are women that tell me I’m being prejudicial or somehow abandoning my estrogen by not supporting her. As I’ve stated, it’s not about her being successful. I wasn’t all that wild about Clinton either, but for much different reasons. Clinton kinda went the other way, almost putting on false bravado (i.e. machismo), and I liked her a lot better when she was just talking to people, because in those moments she looked like a person, not a politician. She was more effective when she went off the cuff, imho.

Also, everyone has skeletons, and everyone has done things that haven’t turned out so great. I don’t think turning the heat up on Palin in regards to her parenting is necessarily fair, because who of us out there hasn’t made mistakes in parenting (or will certainly make mistakes, like me). I do think that her extolling certain viewpoints makes her vulnerable, but what’s troublesome is, if it were a man saying these things on the political stage, say John Edwards (pre-affair), and his daughter ended up pregnant, people would probably take pity because they’d assume Elizabeth was too sick to take tabs, and John was, of course, too busy to get into the minutiae of his daughter’s life. And it wouldn’t be mentioned but maybe a handful of times. Not only will this be mentioned in Palin’s repertoire for years to come, but it was potentially politically ending for her. Why? Because it’s women and children, and because women don’t have the stain-protection men do. One smudge on a woman, and people don’t want to touch. Guys can be covered in oil and soot and yet the public will still embrace them. We’re all dirty, people. Every single one of us.

Mr. WoW, usually I agree with almost all of your opinions and beliefs but lately we are at odds. On this issue, Sarah Palin….we are really at odds. She came on the scene last fall with a fan-fair or attention and admiration from the right. Everyone viewed her as the saving grace for their party’s chance to take the White House. And it was "because of" all the attention she got from the media that led to her demise. The more she spoke, the more we realized it would be a big mistake to have this woman anywhere near the White House.

And nothing has changed in that regard. You say it is bad for her to have as much attention as she is getting because it only solidifies her base. Yep, it does. But two things you must keep in mind Mr. Wow, her "base" is shrinking as everyday goes by. The republican party is almost non-existent. They are doing it to themselves with the very help of people like Palin, Limbaugh, Gingridge, Steel and others. Every time they open their mouths it substantiates that our nation made the right choice with Obama. They refuse to understand that not only doesn’t America Look the way it did 10 years ago, but it doesn’t Think the way it did 10 years ago.  

Sarah Palin hasn’t said anything in the last 6 months that adds the slightest credibility to her being qualified to lead our nation. Oh my Lord I just got chills. Could you imagine how she would have responded to this current issue in Iran?

No, I love you to pieces, but I say let her keep talking. Give her a spot light if need be and her own diamond encrusted microphone at every appearance. Because the more she speaks, the better the Democrat and Independent parties look! :-0

As governor, Sarah Louise’s approval rating have ranged from 93% in June, 2007, to 54% in May, 2009.  A legal defense fund has been set up to help with all those pesky ethic violations.

Seems that the more Alaskans hear and see Barbie, the less they like her.  Same problem Team McCain had with her numbers as they bravely soldiered on through a doomed run at the Oval Office.  

Tsk Tsk.
