and I understand the hardcore feminists will shy away from Palin because of her abortion views

Perhaps not as bad as may be expected.

In April of this year, Sarah Palin gave birth to her fifth child, Trig, who was born premature with Down Syndrome. Recent statistics show that in the U.S., approximately 90% of Down Syndrome diagnoses end with the mother choosing abortion. Palin on her family’s reaction to the diagnosis, in her own words:

“We knew through early testing he would face special challenges, and we feel privileged that God would entrust us with this gift and allow us unspeakable joy as he entered our lives. We have faith that every baby is created for good purpose and has potential to make this world a better place. We are truly blessed.” (April 18, 2008, Anchorage Daily News)

Down Syndrome is no longer the total disaster that it used to be and some of the people born with it are leading fairly reasonable lives these days. It appears to hinge mainly on diet.

That cannot be posted too many times.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that choosing Palin was the single most magnificent thing McCain could have done. It's a total shot in the arm to the Conservative movement. She's awesome! She's a Conservative. She's a MOM!!!
