"Sarah Palin, a woman, obviously doesn't let others define who she is. She demonstrated that last night.Were she not a Republican, she'd be considered a strong feminist."
If you can demonstrate that Sarah Palin actually wrote that speech, you might be on to something. Your problem is that the speech was written long before Palin was nominated. There were only minor adjustments made in deference to her gender and history.
A "strong feminist", on the other hand, wouldn't accept being a mere sock puppet for the GOP speechwriter's union.
From that perspective, she's closer to G W Bush than McCain but McCain has recently fallen into the same mold...because he wants to be President and is willing to sell his soul to acheive that objective.
Buy cardboard.
