Wrong. Conservative male voters are not comfortable with the idea of a liberal woman as commander in chief.
My husband is as conservative as anyone I know, and retired Army. He is really happy with Palin as VP. I asked him if he thinks she is qualified to be President if something happens to McCain and he said he does. His thinking after listening to her speak and checking out her background is that she is smart enough to know when to seek the advice of others when needed, so he would have no worries about her being President. This was surprising to me, but I do agree with him.
