Simple, women don't like women who are more attractive than they are, smarter than they are and they don't think a woman can handle the job. I hear it all the time, “well maybe if she was a Senator first”, “maybe if she stayed as gov and had gotten more experience”, “well maybe she would be a good VP.” Not hard to figure out. Since the beginning of time men have been saying, and women have been believing, women are second to men. Heck you can read comments to that effect here on FR. If Palin enters the race, it will be interesting to see how she overcomes this thinking. OBTW, Michelle B. is in the same boat, but Palin is a way stronger woman than Michelle B.

You’d be surprised at how many people think Palin just dropped out of the sky and into the VP nominee slot. People need to know that she has served in elected office for more than 17 years, with a record that is second to none. We know it, the emails showed it, so now this new attack is to counter balance anything good that the media had to report about the emails.

The Undefeated will turn a lot of heads and change a lot of minds.

There’s a lot of truth in your comments, but some of that would be understandable if we didn’t have an inexperienced incompetent in office right now. At age 71, I’ve been against having women in certain jobs, too - such as fireman, which I think should be fireMAN (as my 6’5”, 240 lb son pointed out to me in the context of himself on the second floor of a burning building, overcome with smoke, and a 120 lb female firefighter on a ladder to get him. Some things are literally simple.) So yes, women are second to men (real men, anyway) in some ways pertaining to physical strength. We women know that, whether we admit it or not. I felt nearly the same about a female CIC, until we got the military-hating pantywaist in office. Senator first? We got one. “More experience”? As opposed to what, a professional community agitator? Excuses, excuses - I don’t accept ANY. Sarah shouldn’t be a fireman, but she can durn sure be a president.

But about her looks - Yes, she is a beauty, and I don’t like her any less because she looks better than I do. Even better than my daughter, who is her age. (Tho my daughter is lovely, too!) Beauty is a disadvantage for a woman in politics. I hate to accept that, but it is. And if that’s the problem that these Republican women can’t handle, I’m ashamed of them. Yet the problem is there.

I dunno, maybe I’m wrong. I’d like to hope so.
