Peggy Noonan and Mike Murphy who called this choice a disaster? The insult is that Republicans can believe that they can try to parade this candidate out and say she is just as good as Hillary (better actually because she is a good Christian) and then tell the media and the public that trying to find out what she is about is "sexist". What about her support of Ted Steven's bridge, what about her request for millions in earmarks for her tiny town, what about her trying to fire the town librarian for not banning certain books, what about the firing of the Public Safety chief? What about her denial that global warming is man made? What about her desire to restrict reproductive rights? What about her desire to prohibit sexual education (that has worked out well, hasn't it?)? This is NOT about sexism, this is plainly about the issues.

Since when is it great that 17 year old girls are getting married? this is not some third world country, this is the greatest nation in the world with more opportunities for young women than anywhere else on earth. Palin's daughter should follow her mom's example and hire help to raise her children while she pursues her own ambitions--oops maybe that sounds a little SELFISH.

Women in politics, women in general wanting to progress this country. I don’t think it’s, it bodes well for her — a statement like that." This can be found via a video interview with Newsweek, posted on YouTube, discussed the coverage of Sen. Hillary Clinton. The interview that appears to have taken place during the Democratic primary, when Palin criticizes Clinton for her response to media scrutiny she received while on the campaign trail. The sexism charge is unfounded, ridiculous and will not help No Way No How No McCain's sad case for the VP role. Obama/Biden '08 Palin's statement during the primaries also refutes Fiorina's rhetoric:
