Sometimes, in my nasty little conspiracy theory lovin' mind, I think that Sarah Palin is the Republican party's way of making women who have the AUDACITY to run for a "man's job" look foolish. Seriously, how can anyone think this woman is qualified to be president? How? She can barely get through an interview with KATIE COURIC and she's not a bastion of hard-hitting journalism by any stretch of the imagination.
I fear that Sarah Palin will set women back by thirty years. She's so ridiculously uninformed and she waves her "hockey mom" flag so much that I wouldn't be surprised if after this election, whether the Republicans win or not (which they won't unless they cheat and I think they know that, but that is an entire other set of crunchy conspiracy theory goodness) Sarah Palin is going to be held up as the example of WHY a woman shouldn't be president. She perpetuates every stereotype about women. That we can't be as intellectual as men, that we are dishonest, that we fall apart under "real" pressure.
As much as I support the Obama/Biden ticket, there is a part of me that wishes that he had chosen Hilary Clinton as his VP because she would wipe the floor with Sarah Palin and, hopefully, make the country understand that Sarah Palin doesn't fail because she is a WOMAN, she fails because she is a MORON.
