The Reublicans are saying these powerful women are going to help make their case for "change". Let me see.. change for whos pockets?.. the shareholders? I thought John McCain and this convention was about putting country first.. but whos country is it? I dont want to hear about the nuclear power issue, we all know it takes at least 4 yrs to add one plant to the 104 that already exit. What about solar, wind, and natural gas?.. How exactly is a John McCain administration specifically going to create, rather than export jobs? And drilling offshore is NOT going to reduce the price we pay at the pump.. it WILL put more money in the pockets of BIG OIL as they trade it on the world market. And Mit Romney touts about family values.. well we can debate what he values because during the primaries he said one thing; and now at the convention he is saying another. A flip-flopper if I ever heard one. A woman shouuld be paid the same but he wont say it because he knows John McCain has voted against equal pay, increases in the minimum wage, and voted for a war that produced NO WMD's..but it did produce over 4,000 American dead! And these men and women come back to their country after being wounded and get the Potomac-two-step in their care! One veteran I know told me that he can't find work, can't get the health care he needs. and John McCain and his Republican diatoms want me to vote for him.. hmmm.. I tell him to SHOW me something more than his words.. I, like many independents want to hear SPECIFICALLY what he will do and how his economic plan WILL restore America as an economic power rather than the punching bag it's become. Remember, that saying during the GHB's administration.."it IS the Economy STUPID!"? hmm.. ok I get it. The Reublicans are saying these powerful women are going to help make their case for "change".

Mitt Romney just echoed, verbatim, words Ms Whitman spoke, about 'equality of opportunity', and then went on to describe it, in the incredibly narrow way that the Wreligious Wrong do: two married parents, well-behaved kids who go to good schools and fear God. Well, that might be a point, except it doesn't INCLUDE most Americans. They're talking to the rich, white, straight, anti-union, pro-military, business entrepreneurs. Too bad MOST people aren't starting businesses! MOST people are lucky if they have 36 hours without benefits at the local Wal-Mart. FORTY PERCENT of women and children in the USA live below the poverty-line. I wonder what colour the sky is, on the rich folks' planet. This is proof they are not in touch with reality...

Therefore Palin would probably still have been Mc Cain's choice. Unfortunately, the media is out of control and is becoming more like A TRASHY tabloid.

Colin Powell and Condi Rice do not indicate a significant outreach to American women and minorities. Republican views are still largely too intolerant and closed-minded for most women and minorities to feel like their issues would be considered or their needs addressed by this party. I dare say that most of the minorities that are attracted to the republican party are either ultra religious or very wealthy. For the rest of us, the democratic views are the closest match available to our views, and the party that has a clearer grasp of the issues facing urban environments where most minorities live. Female bodies or ethnic skin tones in presidential administrations don't do much good if they are not allowed to bring in their unique perspectives and to address some of the specific needs and issues that women and minorities face.

I don't want McCain/Pallin to win, but my fellow liberals on the blogs, she's not an evil unfit person. She may be a highly qualified VP candidate and possibly an important person in American politics in the future. Lets give her a chance before we jump all over her. Also, just because she has five kids doesn't mean she can't be an effective public official. All that being said, there are probably some significant debates that can and will be had with Pallin, but for goodness sakes, let the women speak. This really has bordered on sexism, although I think it is mostly unconscious. One more point, when Obama said cool out on covering the Pallin family by stating his mother had him when she was 18, I was really impressed with him.

I actually worked for Hewlett Packard some time ago. I did'nt make that much as a Country Coordinator in Paramus, New Jersey. Hey Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman, Got Milk? Got Meat?
Got Money? I have very little of each and am in poor health. Sell it somewhere else cause I ain't buying. I can not afford to.

From the day of the VP announcement, I said the McCain campaign is going to play the sexism card when anyone scrutinize Palin. Hillary Clinton started it and McCain wants to capitalize on it. They are scraping the bottom of Clinton's campaign barrel. It's amazing that Obama has been under scrutiny this entire campaign and when it's being rightfully applied to Palin (excluding the tabloid journalism of about her daughter and her disabled infant) the gender card is played. What's funny is that when the anti-Obama crowd criticized Obama, they launched the attack with the follow-up remark that "anyone that criticizes Obama is accused of being racist." Nevertheless, the attack was launched against him. The republicans (and Clinton) have committed nothing but distractions this entire campaign. This is a big joke.

Majority of her experience is as a major of a small town and during her tenure the city went from being debt free to 22million in the hole, that's a city of 8000 people? That's the majority of her so called experience, she has been governer for only 20 months. How could anyone in their right mind compare that to Obama who is not was a state senator for 7 years and Illinos (12 million+ population) and that after spending 12 years teaching "constitutional" law. She at one point belonged to a Alaska Independence Party who’s primary goal was secession from the rest of US, she belongs to a radical church that believes that Jews deserve to be victims for terrorism.
