SANTA ROSEA, Fla. | If Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain picked Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to appeal to women, especially bitter supporters of Sen. Hillary Clinton, and I was one of those women, I would be deeply offended. Palin is a militantly pro-life creationists who, with five children at the age of 44 and one born with Down Syndrome only four months ago apparently doesn't even believe in birth control, stands against just about every thing Clinton stands for.
