Thank you for referring to her as Governor Palin. :o)
It’s a title she’s EARNED.
And while I’m on soapbox, I honestly think part of her popularity coming from men isn’t ONLY because she’s attractive. I truly (speaking for myself) believe she’s resonating with men too because she’s a female leader we can support because she doesn’t make us feel bad for being men. She’s got qualities we can connect with that are common to ours while still being a full blown woman. She’s strong, tough, competent, smart, funny, charming AND A WOMAN. She doesn’t tell us there is something wrong with us for being who we are, too.
I hope I can say this in the right way ... but gender is an issue her ... for all of the RIGHT reasons. Gov. Palin is showing the country that gender can still be part of who we are, but it doesn’t have to divide us. It shows us that men and women can be different but have common values. Unlike the Obama campaign who is showing us that race is STILL a divisive issue because they’re making it so.
