John McCains selection of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate has energized the right. Conservatives view her as one of their own and are enthralled by her life story. She is a Washington outsider who, unlike the Democratic presidential nominee, impresses as being sincere, fresh, and new. Moreover, in juxtaposition with both Barack Obama and Joe Biden, her deeds suggest that she is an actual reformer rather than a person whose change message is wholly rhetorical. Her acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention was a testament to her savvy and appeal. Palins inspired talk yielded two of the best lines ever spoken about Barack Obama: I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a community organizer, except that you have actual responsibilities, and The American presidency is not supposed to be a journey of personal discovery.
The Republican ticket offers the electorate two politicians who possess the courage to act on their convictions, which is something that could never (honestly) be said about the flagships of the left that oppose them; although, to what extent Palin will assist McCain in attracting female voters is a question in open dispute. Hillary Clinton made history this year garnering 18 million votes and nearly pulling off the comeback of this new century so one would presuppose that the emergence of Sarah Barracuda offered a bit of redemption for those feminists embittered by the results of the Democratic primaries.

In view of NOW just having declared its support for Obama, Sarah's being on the GOP ticket, has helped to unmask the radical feminists for what they truly are: a bunch of extreme leftists for whom gender is coincidental to their professed political commitment. They're totalitarians in the sense they demand that all women must think alike and must accept abortion as part of what it means to be female. The radical feminists have rejected Sarah because she thinks for herself and has chosen what they claim to want for women but its the free thinking part they've made clear its not for a woman to possess. True choice in politics is
verboten in radical feminist circles.
