The dominatrix

Sarah Palin is trying to seduce independent voters. But she comes across like a whip-wielding mistress who wants to discipline a naughty America.

    Funny, cheeky article - thanks Gary

    Finally, some sense of hunoir from Salon. Yeah we're alittle concerned by the power of Sarah Palin's hotness.

    I said it when I saw her come on the stage during her speech sat the RNC -- Uh, oh, not good. This woman is TOO good looking. This is America. This could actually work.

    Kamiya is right -- she is hot and it is does count for something. Wait unitl they relase those photos of her jogging along the Alaska coastline. They don't call her GILF for nothing. People who could not give a hoot about politics are now setting google search image result records for a Repuplican Vice Presidential candidate. Think about that for a second.

    And the more that thoughtful, overly concerned liberals howl about how she is portrayed as a sex object, the hotter she'll be to many people. Sad, but true.

    It is base. It is manipulative. But the Republicans are clever. It will get our collectve attention.
