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?)
I'm not sure how that makes it better. If Barack Obama had said, "it's time we elect a black man to the White House", would the fact that he was talking about himself make it any less offensive?
“(or are some of you opposed to her no matter what she says or does?)”
I’m sure some are...just like some support her no matter what she says or does.
What makes you assume any disagreement with Palin is a knee-jerk reaction?
Are individuals not allowed to have their own opinions, or are we somehow obliged to please you and follow the herd?
The statement in question is a direct quote. Making the case that we should vote for a woman, specifically Palin, simply because the time has arrived is as stupid as making Bob Dole the candidate for President because it was his turn.
I'd rather choose a President on principle.
Well, if that's true. Sarah Palin has yet to win those people over. Perhaps her strategy needs some changing?
Remember, It's up to the candidate to convince the voters.
She just used her gender against herslf.
I’m not voting for sexists or racists.
That was a damn stupid thing for her to say, or any other woman to say, or any race for that matter.
Tired of this sh!t, ain’t playin’ it any more.
