I bet deep down Mcain really wishes he had picked leiberman or someone else for VP. lol
Ya reap what ya sow.

"These people are going to try and shred her after the campaign to divert blame from themselves

From my point of view her provincial ignorance and "Oh Golly Gee and By Gosh" manner have done more to shred her rep than anything her advisors ever could. while politically diapposed to Nicole Wallce i find her quite an adept operative and an intellectually imposing figure.(well and shes kinda hot too)

I have no doubt that Palin ( bieng a power hungery Bitch) is setting her self up for a future run by pandering to the sans -informed. ok F-It i'll say it the ignorant portion of the population. ME, not buying it now,not buying it in 4 years either.

It's funny, criticism against the female politicians of America's latest round of elections seems to be horribly nasty, or vicious, as against that levelled at its male inhabitants.
You always hear "bitch" or "witch" or something akin to that nature.
Me thinks that's called unconscious sexism.

Indeed, and I think Palin brings out the worst in that because she represents in some ways the worst of stereotypical apprehensions about female petitioners for power: she was more or less hired for her looks (and self-serving malleability), and is not competent to hold the office she seeks, and I think it's difficult for many people to separate the troubling issues associated with her candidacy from her gender itself, because of the way in which they were knowingly exploited and serve as a potent source of antifeminist backlash in themselves.

Hillary was treated to her fair share of unconscious sexism too, but of a more traditional, and I dare say less twisted and potentially toxic, variety.

It's just as plausible that, through sexism, we're more sensitive to words like "bitch" in conjunction with women. It's a pretty far stretch to suggest that McCain and Obama haven't been derided viciously themselves.

And, really, McCain has been quite bitchy. ;)

I afford the same names to Palin that I use when describing certain other politicians who are male, she's a power hungry asshole :D
