We need a woman. Any woman. That is all that matters.
Making sex a qualification, legitimizes making it a disqualification.
EXACTLY. This is one of the reason, and arguably the biggest reason we're stuck with Obama; Too many people thought it "was time" for a black president.
I hate identity politics, and I especially loathe identity politics when practiced by allegedly conservative politicians.

No, I kind of agree -- but we shouldn't stop there if we're going to play these games. Let's elect a "hot-looking woman of Asian extraction because it's time."
I nominate Michelle Malkin.

“Oh yes. Let’s elect a woman to be POTUS simply because ‘It’s time’.”
Well, when I look around the GOP I don’t see (m)any males s who aren’t squishes
It worked great the last time around... :P
Of course that depends on which "woman".
It is definitely time for the men who lack the gonads, principles, and integrity to lead, to step aside and STFU.
She said it in response to a question, “Do you think a woman *can* become President of the United States?” I don’t remember the exact phrasing. She replied that being female isn’t an impediment and then said that. I’m female and would much rather have a man than a woman be President subject to the condition that he be the stronger candidate.
Of course, that makes a case for Obama...you don't need any qualities...just money and a "specialized" voting base....aka...."ignorant"...
Sarah Palin is referring to herself, not just any woman. She is selling herself to the voters. You do know that if she runs, her gender is going to be used against her, right? Well, this is Palin making her case that gender DOES NOT MATTER! Palin is taking the GOP Establishments arguments away from them with a preemptive strike. You folks need to learn to comprehend strategies and not be so quick with the knee jerk reactions. THINK! (or are some of you opposed to her no matter what she says or does?)
"It's a time" when the top two courageous candidates, Palin and Bachmann are women. It's a time when the current men candidates are pathetic cowards. Perhaps that's what she was thinking when she said, "it's time".
Give the lady a little slack until you know all the facts.
I watched the entire Sarah Palin speech and Q & A and she was responding to a question, when she said it's time, but she went on to say, that she was raised so that gender wasn't considered, that the girls and guys were treated the same.
There was no hint of her wanting "special treatment" because she had bigger balls than any of the wimpy bois in the pubbie party.
“Oh yes. Let’s elect a woman to be POTUS simply because “It’s time”. “
That’s not why I will vote for her. But I have not seen anyone who is more qualified than her yet.
“Oh yes. Let’s elect a woman to be POTUS simply because “It’s time”. “
Do not fall for this headline. That was a throwaway joke in all of the other wonderful things she said. Sheesh, you sillies. She is not playing identity politics at all.
