From a New York Times editorial on July 3, 1984, on Geraldine Ferraro's nomination for vice president: Where is it written that only senators are qualified to become President? . . . Or where is it written that mere representatives aren't qualified, like Geraldine Ferraro of Queens? . . . Where is it written that governors and mayors, like Dianne Feinstein of San Francisco, are too local, too provincial? . . . Presidential candidates have always chosen their running mates for reasons of practical demography, not idealized democracy. . . . What a splendid system, we say to ourselves, that takes little-known men, tests them in high office and permits them to grow into statesmen. . . . Why shouldn't a little-known woman have the same opportunity to grow?

The feminists movement has really progressed since the 84 article.

Now only liberal women need be considered.

Go Palin! You are making the liberals absolutely nuts. It is very entertaining and enlightening.

Thank you, Sarah Palin, for the service you provide.

Oh wait, wrong one. Well, Obama said it was right.

ye olde double standard

Nah - no double standard at all ;).

To the leftist, anyone with traditional values is evil, and must be destroyed, by all means available. That Governor Palin is a woman just offers up some different means. Truth, justice, and fairness are not relevant.
