I have watched excitement among professional, mature, experienced women turn into red hot anger as male Obama apologists try and claim Palin’s experience to be Commander-in-Chief (more elected years in office, more executive years in office, years commanding troops, years running a business) is less than Obama’s community organization and speech making. These arrogant males are trying to raise the bar for Palin while lowering it for Obama is pissing women off no end.
This, gents, is why women want to break the glass ceiling and bury this crap once and for all. And the more the media and men (left and right, btw) set up two tracks on experience which is completely tilted for Obama - and it is mostly men tilting the track - the more women will throw party allegiance away and realize they can end the millennia of the ’superior male’.
I like our moose-burger eating, gun-toting, business leading woman, mother of 5, Governor of Alaska (while pregnant) VP. The Barracuda and the Maverick will take on the Messiah and the Mouth - and win.
Update: The sick brother-in-law being investigated for driving his squad car while drunk, killing a moose on duty for fun, and possibly abusing the Governor’s nephew is not going to rally women. Women all have a story of the shunned asshole guy who tried to make life hell for them in an act of petty revenge. And the charge of tasering his child makes contact by the aunt and uncle with police very legitimate. I don’t think I have ever been as disgusted with American politics and news media as I have been today.
I hope they do. Change their tune. Stop tearing the man down. Criticize policy all they wish, but temper their comments.
Like many others here, I like this Governor Palin. She appears to be "the real deal". One of us, just better than most. More power to her!
'I’m confident that I qualify as a four star McCain basher. His selection of Sarah Palin was a political move, not an indication that he has suddenly changed his character. I would vote for SP if she chose to run for President but McCain, IMO, is the same socialist that he was a couple of days ago.
OHB is still the same Communist that he was. Not much has changed from where I sit.
Sarah Palin appears to be a fine lady, good mother and I’m sure a great wife. I like everything I have learned about her so far and will be cheering loudly when/if she chooses to lead America.
“As Mark Levin said. Sarah Palin’s political career was launched as mayor of a small town of 9,000 people. Obama’s political career was launched in the house of an unrepentant domestic terrorist.
Take your pick, America.”
I love him - he always nails it.
Those hissed off women are more than thrilled, particularly in conservative states swing like Ohio - where abortion is not a deal breaker and many of us would counsel our children otherwise.
Eeejits - yet again they run on emotion and not fact.
“This, gents, is why women want to break the glass ceiling and bury this crap once and for all.”
This isn’t male Chauvinism.
It’s an incidental effect of the fact that leftism trumps anything and everything.
Even for a priest, leftism trumps faith. A leftist doctor is a leftist first and a doctor second (or third). Leftists support special privileges for sodomites, but not where they conflict with leftism’s objectives.
Leftism trumps human rights. Leftism trumps opposition to the sexual exploitation of women and girls (see Bill and Monica, or the UN in the Congo).
The election of Obamalamadingdong and Senator Corruption is better for the left than the election of McLame and Governor Palin. It goes without saying, then, that the left’s support for “equal rights” gets tossed under the bus.
Nothing personal, you understand. Just the use of politics to attain power and bring about the worker’s paradise.
I think that women should rarely if ever participate in politics. In this case, though, Governor Palin immensely improves the pubby ticket. I might even be able to vote for McLame without puking, if I know that Governor Palin would be only a heartbeat away from the presidency.
1. Women must do twice as much as men to receive half as much credit.
2. Fortunately, this is not hard to do.

I think this was true forty years ago but things have changed. I am all for Palin but my recent experience in the working world is closer to the opposite of your two comments. I have seen women do pitiful amounts of work and draw the same pay as men who worked much, much harder. I repeat, if you are going back forty years then I agree with what your mother said but not now.
It was just a joke.
I love it! New tag line!
The Sunday “Screaming Shows” should be a great view tomorrow. I don’t usually watch other than ‘Fox News Sunday’ on occasion — tomorrow will be an exception.
The Barracuda and the Maverick will take on the Messiah and the Mouth - and win.
BUMP!

The MSM tries to ignore or blur that fact.
I saw a photo of her on her fishing boat yesterday and it was captioned that she’d just finished pulling nets!
DITTOS!
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
The dummydems and the dummymediaites better wake up. Women are tired of being thrown under the bus.
We never said we wanted to “rule over...” — we just want a chance to partner and use our brains with men who are not so afraid of their shadows.

What the dems really ought to do is kick the liberals out and make them form their own third party, and let the moderate democrats take back their party.
In the meantime, this is starting to look like a grand year for our Grand Old Party! ‘Bout time.

ROFLOL!
Sarah Palin does not have parents who were a senator or governor or a big-city mayor. She did not attend an Ivy League school or even a private school. She had broken fingers from working on a fishing boat. She is everywoman.
She went into government armed only with her integrity and her faith and her courage and her tenacity.
Modern pundits will tell you that you have to be part of the system. That we have to put up with petty (and not-so-petty) corruption. That you have to be part of the party elite to win higher office.
Sarah has proven them all wrong. She is EXACTLY what the Founders envisioned - the citizen reprentative of the people. But she goes well beyond the Founders with that vision.
People are fed up with the corruption, but have no idea how to fight it. Sarah shows them how. Stand up for your values. Resign when the system prevents fighting corruption. Never compromise your values and your beliefs. And take on the corrupt power structure head-on with integrity.
Can Sarah take on the bigger vultures in the DC power structure? ONLY IF WE HELP HER. The bullshitters are out in droves. WE HAVE TO TAKE THEM ON. McCain is a transitional figure for the GOP. Palin and Jindal and others like them are the future of the GOP. It is up to us to decide if they will become the future of our country.
Needs repeating.....
You've got that right, for sure.
The Dems already ARE “the Reds”. Have been for many, many years...
America has just been too preoccupied to notice...
