She homeschools her children (most homeschoolers want to see the public education system destroyed). She is so anti-abortion that she knowingly chose to give birth to a Downs Syndrome baby (she is unlikely to support women's reproductive rights). Women supporting Hillary Clinton weren't voting for Hillary's vagina but for her stance on political issues---I can't imagine any Democrat with an IQ higher than 10 supporting Sarah Palin. And there's more. Education? Palin has only a BA in journalism from the University of Idaho (compare & contrast with Obama's JD Harvard). Experience? Nothing in foreign relations--- just at the moment when the Middle East, Russia, and Africa are all tinderboxes. Domestic policy, executive experience? A housewife who went from the School Board to being mayor of a town of 6500 to <two years as governor of a remote and thinly-populated state. She has spent very little time in the Lower 48 (talk about Obama being alien to American life). Ethics? While she is supporting Alaska's oil interests, her husband is pulling in an income from BP Alaska. This appointment was politically brilliant but it shows McCain's motto of "Country First" to be a BIG LIE because this was "Politics First". And to top it all off, we are now told that Palin is an athlete, a hunter, a gun-shooter, tough, a rebel, a maverick, strong etc---but that Biden must handle her with kid gloves in debate because she is a WOMAN (and you can bet that if he does that, he will be criticized by the Republicans as patronizing a woman.

Sarah palin is indeed a fine human being, with attractive family values. However, Clinton supporter do not support her because she is a women, granted that is an plus for some women, but do not insult the intellegence of women whom would vote for clinton. She is pro choice, pro civil union, pro national health care to name a few and Palin is NOT- hello women be it 40, 50 or 60 are not so simple minded ,as you portrayed in your creative writing, to vote for someone cause they are bitter, -again written in a creative way in your writing. You go on to write " think her personal charisma and the appeal of her bio will “convert” a lot of those Hillary supporters into Palin pals, and they will pull the lever for the ticket with their new identity-partner on it." New identity partner? Clinton supporter (and it seems you think they are only women) are selecting their choice based on issues they identify with not -"oh she has kids, I have kids, she played sports, I played sports and she is pretty and has charm- YUP I'M VOTING FOR MCCAIN/PALIN TICKET" Not sure but seems like you may be the Misogynist....
