OK, so the McCain camp is already starting to fling charges of sexism around whenever anyone says anything about his VP Sarah Palin. Let me ask you this , and answer it honestly if you can, If McCain had picked Bob Palin, Governor of Alaska, what would your reaction be?
To be honest, if Palin was a man, McCain would already be laughed out of the GOP. The former mayor of a podunk town and half-term governor in one of the least populous states in the union is about as lame a choice as you can imagine. What if he had picked John Hoeven as his running mate?
John who? Well he is the Republican governor of North Dakota. The sad thing is John Hoeven has a masters degree from Dartmouth and a real history of brining prosperity to his state. He is in his second term and though he has experience, I feel sure he would be ridiculed for lack of it and considered a pretty lame choice for VP.
So why use kid gloves on Palin? This woman has a batchelors degree from the University of Idaho and her credentials include TV anchor in the micro=market of Anchorage and her time as mayor with a staff of less than 50 people.
Come on folks, we are all being sexist when we fail to criticize her as a viable choice. The test is changing the sex and then evaluating her qualifications. She would never get the job if she wasn't a she. So enough of this crap. McCain is insulting the entire country with this chlice and the sooner someone stands up and speaks the truth the better.
