[Sarah Palin] delivered a tremendous speech that us conservatives were hungry for. McCain was underwhelming, but competent. Where's the sexism in that?

Well, that's a fair assessment. She delivered what the crowd wanted to hear, not necessarily what it true. In fact, her speech (which was not her speech; it was written for her and she just read it, or better yet, acted out) was full of inaccurate and exaggerated claims.

The sexism is in her being McCain's choice, appealing specifically to the female gender in hopes of drawing more the womean's "sympathy vote," not necessarily because she is best qualified.

It's sexism par excellence. Hopefully, America's women will show that gender may play a role in some respects, women voters will focus on real issues which neither Palin nor McCain addressed, such as health care and economy.

The same clowns or their parents thought Mondale’s pick of a NY Congresswoman in 1984 to be tremendous and groundbreaking. They are such hypocrites.
