Poor Susan. ALWAYS missing the point.

[metmom]

She’s just jealous.

And she’s the one who needs to learn about gender politics...

[6SJ7]

Why Susan, you’re absolutely correct. Sarah is not like Hillary. Sarah is a self made success. She’s a whole lot prettier too.

[muir_redwoods]

The Hillaristas never wanted to admit that her support was only partly about her ideas. There exist large numbers of women who simply want to see a woman on the ticket. Obama is getting his support, in large part, from people who simply want to see a Black as president.

The women who want to see a woman on the ticket will happily pull the lever for McCain/Palin. I am happy to accept their support

Susan Estrich, just one more reason they created the delete button.

[Bernard]

I heard somebody on FNC refer to her as "Dr. Estrich". I think that leads to her intuitive grasp of the obvious.

Of course Sarah Palin is not Hillary Clinton. That's why Sarah Palin is making speeches as an active part of a national ticket, and Hillary is home throwing ashtrays.

And just the idea that Susan would suggest Colin Powell is reason enough to keep Powell off the ticket.

[tbpiper]

new enough to make Barack Obama look like an old-timer

I don't think she realized the import to this thought. Sara is new and fresh to the scene. Obama now looks more like 'the old polotics' he claims not to be.

They keep shooting like this, they're not going to have a foot to stand on.

[ReleaseTheHounds]

I really didn’t think Susan would be this stupid as reflected in this opinion piece. I guess I should never underestimate the stupidity of liberals.

[bahblahbah]

Of course not, Sarah is much greater.

It’s going to be fun to watch the orthodox feminists attack her.

[In veno, veritas]

Colon Powell would not have eliminated the race aspect. Demographically, the Republicans have never had success with the black population, and I could just see all the words like “token” and such being used. It would have made a bad situation worse, and the repubs still wouldn't have the black vote.

[srmorton]

She also does not get it about how important it was for McCain to pick someone that would energize the Christian right. Some of them (like me) would have stood in line for hours to vote for McCain - not because of him but because of Obama. Others were so disillusioned with the Republicans that they would have stayed home, voted but not for POTUS, or voted third party. Sarah Palin is someone who has not only delivered an entire group of voters, but is someone who is so inspirational that these formerly disaffected voters will donate to and work hard for the Republican ticket.

[KosmicKitty]

And she did so well running Dukkakis’s campaign

[NonValueAdded]

To be honest, I don’t know her. "But that's not going to stop me from rendering an uninformed opinion," Estridge did not continue to say.

[ryan71]

We need some pictures to explain this story...

“The Good” - Palin
“The Bad” - Hillary
“The Ugly” - Susan

[TheLawyerFormerlyKnownAsAl]

Is that an airbrushed photo of her taken 20 years ago. I think so. In the meantime, all those heaters have taken their toll. In 2030, they’ll still be saying she was Dukakis’ campaign manager in 1988, as though it’s something to brag about. Her snideness is palpable.

[BobbyT]

“he’s about to learn a very important lesson in gender politics”

Or perhaps, despite the ranting and raving of the socialists, collectivists, and sociology professors (but I repeat myself), “gender politics” just aren’t a part of McCain’s thought process.

What’s that saying about how indifference is worse than hatred? Must be all the more infuriating that he doesn’t just disagree with your agenda, he doesn’t even recognize its existence. Irrelevance sure breeds a lot of resentment.

[impeachedrapist]

Sarah Palin Is Not a Stand-In for Hillary Clinton

You're right, Susan. Gov. Palin is not corrupt, for starters. She's also not shrill. Plus she's nice and has executive experience.

[11th Commandment]

Suzy doesn't know one “Liberal Abortion Loving” women that would vote for Palin. However, there where already a lot of women not supporting Obama and this pick shores up the vote and energizes conservatives.....

[grey_whiskers]

Anti Estrich (where it HURTS) Sarcasm Torpedo ARMED. FIRE!!

Susan,

I know Sarah Palin.
I daydream about Sarah Palin.
And Susan Estrich,
You're NO Sarah Palin!

Cheers!

[SampleMan]

Palin is nothing like Hillary. Thank God.

She has experience.

She's attractive.

She can speak without reminding you of a blackboard and nails.

She doesn't kill babies.

Her husband has sex with ...her.

Yes, many differences from Hillary.

[Conservateacher]

The condescension of women not like them by feminists has always been obvious. Anyone not like them must be a kept woman. I don’t think Sarah Palin fits the kept woman mold and will cause much angst for them.
