Subject: RE: BS: Palin VP McCain choice
Hey, what are you women doing, making all these sexist jabs like calling Palin a "bimbo"?

Hey, Joe, do you think that just any woman will do, that this is what all of those people, the largest percentage of them middle-aged and older women, were working for? To have a woman in office at all costs?

Hell, NO!

People miss the point, that not only was Hillary a woman she was as-or-more-qualified than anyone out there in the Democratic field. Better than the Republican field as well. Would you say that about Palin? Can you honestly imagine that Palin could get through all of the events of the last 20 years that Hillary has faced without buckling? We don't know, she is younger and hasn't the background (and what is her education?) but I wouldn't put any money on her.

There is nothing wrong with a woman having good looks, and absolutely nothing wrong with a smart woman having good looks. But it does sound like Palin has been playing the looks card in the popularity component of the political contest in her state, doesn't it?
