palin is taking a lot of heat, and aside from the most entrenched of partisans i'm not really sure why. if there is any ray of hope for change, its ms. palin. our family and at this point pretty-much anyone i know, all sides of all isles, is voting for mccain because of palin. and as far as i can tell its got nothing to do with her looks.
Too many are jumping on the "she's a woman, look how progressive we are" bandwagon. She really doesn't bring any substance to the table. The vice-president has to be ready to lead the country from day one, and she obviously is not.
Actually, the mantra is more like.."she's a woman but not a real woman because she's not a liberal member of NOW, so therefore, she can't be qualified." I've not heard anyone saying "she is woman, hear her roar," particularly not a single one of those ridiculous women's rights advocates who if they were really for a woman's rights agenda would be touting her nomination. Just why would you say she obviously is not ready to lead the country? I believe she obviously is. No President ever comes into office with Presidential experience from the get-go unless they are a second term President. The real issue is judgement. Gov Palin would surround herself with quality people and she would make quality decisions, unlike the community organizer who surrounds himself with racial separatist ideologues, socialists and terrorists.
