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.

If she had said that it is time that gender is no longer a factor in determining the President of the United States, then that's correct. But the statement "It's time a woman became President of the United States" is simply not the same. We can give her some slack and make the conclusion that she was indicating her belief that the playing field is leveled, that a woman can just as easily be elected as a man.

But that's not the statement she made. She said "It's time", making it clear that that a woman should in fact be elected now. Such a statement presumes that America should be looking for a woman, and not someone whose principles should be the most important factor.

She gave no reason why she thinks it's time.

Here are three possible reasons why she might think it is.

Which of the above three reasons do you guess she thinks?
