Palin will have more success with men than women. It is the women who would have a major problem with her because most women do not like to be ruled by another women.

As a women and as a card carrying member of the Republican women, I can verify that Sarah Palin will be supported as a candidate for President by women. After working day after day for the this campaign it was obvious that the ground swell for the McCain campaign happened after Sarah Palin was announced the the VP pick by both men and women.

It looks small and petty when we boo at the mere mention of the Obama’s name. It’s hard for folks to take us seriously when we do that. Let all the attention be on Obama and his middle-fingering and snarky quips. He does all this stuff routinely without any help from us, so why give anything that looks like an excuse to his supporters?

All we have to do is remain stoic while he mugs and pranks. Folks will pick up on it and see the difference. They’ll notice how stupid it looks when an adult in his position does that. Bush, for all his faults at the podium, NEVER treats people with the contempt and irreverance that Obama often displays. All we have to do is remind folks with our behavior and a quiet word that that’s what the DEMS do, not us!

Yeah, we can make and point fun at Obama plenty. A good and honest dig is worth a lot with the general public, too. All I’m asking is that when one of our own is offering a gracious concession or paying a genuine compliment, let’s be on the same page with the speaker while they’re making it. We’ll have our fun afterwards.

You’re doing a lot of shooting off your mouth and assuming something that you can’t speak of since you’re not a woman. I have never had a problem working for a woman... only one “rules” me...... His name is Jesus Christ.

I'll agree with you there, FRiend. But alas, it was McCain, who apparently hasn't seen a socialist since Hanoi, God bless him.

Sarcasm aside, if I were in that crowd at that time, I doubt I would have booed. I may have growled though, or at least exhaled through my teeth.

"You know why this is really disgusting and disgraceful?" he (Kristol) said. "It's disloyal to John McCain. Who selected Sarah Palin? John McCain. Who defended Sarah Palin for the last three months? John McCain."

That may be so, but where's McCain now? Haven't heard a peep from him in defense of Palin.
It's like he's just left her twisting in the wind....

Jim, thanks for FR & getting it back up, I’m tethered to an oxygen bottle that I was about to chew on till I could see FR again. As for the detractors of Palin, you guys might start suggesting how she could improve her already GREAT standing with the majority of conservatives. Like it or not, she’s going to be a power in GOP circles if she wants to be, unlike McNasty, who was a flawed candidate from the start. And as I said on another thread, I smell the stench of a spoiler or two in those lies and rumors; someone who wants Sarah out of the way for 2012. Now who might stand to gain from this bashing? Hmmmmmm?

Bloggers at FreeRepublic.com, an internet hub for conservatives, announced a boycott of Fox News

I didn't know our comments were so important. FNC are you listening?

I like Palin a lot but I do not think that she can win. Yes she is very damaged by this election and if you think otherwise then you are deluding yourself.

Look at her campaign rallies. I saw just as many women as men there. If she is damaged right now it was by anonymous unnamed cowards within our party. Newsweek has put out a bunch of misinformation about her and people are taking that as gospel. This worked for the past 8 years because the Republicans were to weak kneed to defend themselves. So far I see Sarah fighting back. That's how you win. You Betcha.

FR did not announce a boycott of FoxNews. One idiot poster out of 10000 suggested.

You are quite wrong about that. I decided to selectively boycott FNC myself after Carl Cameron's hit piece on Sarah.
