Palin may be in retrospect a brilliant move, but I just don’t think the American people, particularly liberal women, will accept her.
Behind the curve, champ.
Respectfully,
tih
I agree that liberal women won’t be too accepting of her. But for more moderate or non-political women, they may see this move as a solid step forward for women in general. And they may be impressed with her accomplishments. And she’s an exciting candidate to all conservatives, whether men or women.
I disagree - Liberal women are pissed about the way Hillary was treated and are just looking for a reason to vote for McCain - and he hit a grand slam and gave it to them...
“I just don’t think the American people, particularly liberal women, will accept her.”
$7M in online donations to the McCain/Palin campaign in just over a day says otherwise. The breakdown would be intersting, but I’d bet $5M of that came from first time donors, at least to that particular campaign.
Palin will not appeal to those disenchanted Hillary supporters who put their ‘right to choose’ above all else. That’s fine.
In choosing Palin, McCain brought in most of the Republican base, as you can see by reading through the FR threads. FReepers who swore up and down they could never, ever vote for McCain are now on board because of Palin. Not all, but @ 97%. Palin will help in CO, and with the blue collar folks in OH/PA/MI.

Did liberal women ever accept Ronald Reagan? George W. Bush? We don’t need universal adoration of Palin. It’s just fine if some folks don’t care for her. That’s life. It’ll be enough if a majority of the general population comes to like and respect her (and I believe that they will).
You are correct; left-wing women will not accept Palin. But working-class, blue collar woman will. And so will independent working-class woman.
But you forgot to mention one other group of women who will not accept her. Country-club Republican women will turn their noses up at this honorable woman. Palin is too red-neck for the delicate and refined tastes of those phony Republican woman in the club house who are too busy sipping white wine with other elitist Democrat woman. These elitist Democrat women are members of the same country club.
Theodore... read the posts of your fellow Freepers relaying antodoctal evidense that contrdicts your baseless fear. Go to the Hillary/Puma type blogs and read. ENOUGH OF THE WILL to make it Game Set, Match.
Why?
