It's hilarious to see so many men whacking away at Senator Clinton, and now, Palin, for being "mean" and "using old boys' until she's 'done with them." Say hello to Queen Elizabeth I. We've never had women as rulers, and it must freak out more voters than even a Black Man does. The stuff that was squeezed out of tubes of grease on Senator Clinton ran along these lines, too.
There's no doubt in my mind that lots of men are threatened by women possibly ascending to the White House. A truly historic move would have been to have Senator Clinton nominated, because with her wins in red counties, she would have gotten Dems, some Independents, and some Republicans. Obama is now not getting any better than 3 of 10 Clinton supporters who refuses to budge his way. Then there are allegations that as many as 25% of Democrats have ill feelings about a Black Man as President. Same for Republicans who might consider voting for some one other than McCain.
And there there are just going to be lots and lots of women who will not get hung up on differences between Palin's personal concerns, and what she's done, legilslatively, as governor, which ARE different. While Elizabeth I wouldn't be a hero to me, she was a highly effective Queen, and she has rightfully taken her role in history.
American male pundits have a hard time with women.
It shows, and it will only drive more women and others TO Palin, now that the Democrats have shown they would rather gut a sure winner, and for "effect."
Obama will neeed to be a full 10% ahead of McCain to overcome these handicaps. That's not going to happen for him.
I am very impressed with Sarah Palin. I usually don't follow politics that closely, because I really think both parties are equally bad for the most part.
I must say, however, that I like Sarah Palin very much. When she talks I feel as though she is talking directly to me. I can relate to her background better than the other candidates. I hope she continues to do well.
Sarah Palin is a grown woman who uses dishonesty, power abuse and people to gain her own ends. Can we please stop with the gendered diminutives.
Gendered diminuatives - pah. Oh so sensitive, what are you, a little girl?
Boys will be boys you know! LOL
Don't cry.

It seems to be working out for you, though.
So a former Alaska legislator serving time for corruption feels "betrayed" because "after [his] indictment, she didn't give him the time of day" and "she called on him to resign his office".
And during her 2 years as governor she failed to drive "the state GOP chairman Randy Ruedrich from the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission for flagrant conflict-of-interest abuses". He was only fined $12K and publicly disgraced.
Well, that definitely proves that "the idea that Sarah shook up the state's old-boy network is one big fantasy" (so says the guy who came in single digits for the governor's race against Palin.)
Count me in with the "No More Palin!" people. What is this obsession?
Sure, if any new lies arise, report on them, but quite analyzing every angle and help Obama win by stories about the issue that will win him the election--the economy.
Why will Obama and his team do better on the economy? What share of the blame for the current state of things does McCain have? Why are McCain's policies destructive?
These are the stories that need be written, read and shared.
Why?
1. Evangelicals and their ilk will be voting Palin unless she starts breathing fire and reciting Beatles songs backwards on TV.
2. Sensible people have already had plenty of material to read on Palin, decided she is not fit to serve, and will not be voting for the Republican ticket.
3. The rest are for the most part not paying attention, and mainly worried about their pocketbook. The only thing that will sway them is evidence about who which make their wallet fatter and who will not.
There are 6 weeks left, use them wisely. It is important.
Back on page nine:
"Thus the only real problem you have with Palin, which by the way you'll never admit to, is that she's not a Democrat."
Nope, that's not my problem. I'm a staunch Democrat, but if Palin were on the Democratic ticket, I wouldn't vote this year.
Fortunately, she's not.
What amazes me is you would never know that she has never had approval ratings in her state below the 80's and have usually been in the 90's.
David, why don't you spend some time chronicling Obama... Oh. You can't. Because he hasn't done anything. Community organizer? Nothing of note. Harvard Law Review? Nothing published. Law Professor? Nothing published. State legislature? Nothing. State Senator? Nothing (I don't want to heat about unanimous, riskless b.s. like ethics or non-proliferation).
Obama has been handed some of life's biggest opportunities and SQUANDERED them. Nada. What a disgrace.
But you are gonna pick on Palin because the people she beat don't like her?
Find a new job. You have been consistently horrible.
"Sarah Palin ran a well-functioning city and made a positive impact on the city."
Just had to laugh. Took a city with no debt and left it with $20+ million debt. And an underperforming hockey rink.
"That's how men are judged. Let's judge women the same way."
I am. I truly am.
Thank you for taking the time to share this earth shaking bit of news with us. For your next entry, please investigate the truth behind Obama's telling the Iraqi's to wait until the next President is elected - wink, wink - before starting to draw down the war. Or how he did not get anything out of his friendship with Tony Rezko - strip of property included. Or how he was able to sit and listen to Rev. Wright spew his hatred towards Jews and whites as he preached. Or why he allowed the ad which lied about McCain and Rush L's comments about Mexicans. Or why he's blamed McCain and Bush for the recent need for bail out even though he received quite a campaign contributions from them. Or why he dissed the wounded soldiers in Germany in order to work out at the posh Ritz Carlton hotel and give an interview to CNN? Or so many other things that lead me to believe he is not morally qualified to be President.
What you reported sounds like something I used to tell my students to "get over it " when I taught 8th grade. It is the same type of squabbling. Time to grow up.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
