That is an interesting bit of introspection.

Just the beginning. Sarah is going to attract more women than even McCain ever dreamed. The voting both is private, women compose over 50% of America....you do the math.

“wait, she has four other kids TOO?”

One’s in the Army — how much time does Sarah have to spend picking up after him?

Its hurting the Democrats big time... they just don't know much yet.

Lot of that going around the last 48 hours. Just ask Sally Quinn.

Actually, she will only have 3 children living in the VP’s house.

You are correct, but there’s more:

There are more women of voting age than men in America

More women than men are registered to vote in America

A larger percentage of registered women voters actually turn up to vote (compared to registered men voters

_____________

The women’s vote tipped Bush into office in 2004. It may do more than that for McCain.

And if Hillary turns around and backs Obama she will loose much of that following she has developed over the past many years. She will be branded as a "sell out" who just keeps taking it over and over and over again.

Hillary will be of minimal if any assistance to Obie.

I can’t get over how many liberal women can’t stand her. One told me she has not been able to SLEEP since Sarah was chosen. And they start to go on about how she should be with her baby, and that women are just different.

What shuts them up is to say, “Then what about the gay men who have babies?”

Int'resting and nice of her.

I have 4 kids, one with special needs, and work out of the house. I have had a few people ask me how I do it all, and I just DO what needs to get done. I am much lazier, though... For instance, I would never want to deal with endless hockey practice. Yikes. My house is also never going to appear in House Beautiful. I need my down time.

However, I have worked with a few women who run circles around me. These really are Superwomen- they are smart, driven, generous, and full of energy. I remember talking to one of them and finding out she never sat down. Ever. Even when home, she didn't relax. I have always been in awe of them, and can truly say that there is something special about that type of woman. As far as I can tell, Governor Palin falls into that category.

If some child has his shirt on inside out, or has grimy fingernails, do I ever secretly tsk tsk Dad? Nope.

No, she still doesn't get it. Men and women are different: They have different priorities, and they bring different things to the table when it comes to raising kids. This is why children need a mom and a dad.

She doesn't blame the dad when she sees the shirt inside out or the dirty fingernails because, subconsciously, she knows that these are not dad priorities. The kid isn't harmed by the shirt being inside out, and the average dad wouldn't even notice such a thing. The only harm is to the mom's ego.

Interesting that the women’s vote really put Bush over the top in ‘04. Considering it was a very close election, every vote counted. And, considering that the liberals/Democrats were always said to be the beneficiary of the gender gap by attracting more women’s vote. But they got a surprise that most women don’t vote on “women’s issues” such as abortion, and most women aren’t in the liberal lunatic fringe.

If it's any indication of what is going to happen on election night by 40 MILLION views just watching Sarah's speech the other night, and hopefully that , that number will multiply 3 times that much on election day, well, we could very well see a landslide win for McCain/Palin.

The women on average are quite literally cleaning up the messes, even if they are working just as much as the man.

Can someone call me when they find one between 25-32 who actually does this and doesn't just complain like they learned to on some crappy 90's sitcom? I don't ask for someone to clean up messes, I merely ask for some help instead of pathetic helplessness when there are messes to be cleaned up.

This is rather amazing. Good for her. A true apology.

Not being a woman myself and not trying to sound sexist in this post, I would consider the following.

Modern life offers many things making the domestic side of life easier and more efficient.

Dishwashers, vacuum cleaners, washers and dryers, swifters, self scrubbing cleansers, cellphones, internet shopping, strip malls with a dry cleaner at every corner, One stop shopping stores, 2 cars in every garage, etc etc.

I suggest that these things have allowed for the modern woman more time for other things in her life.
