Two Women's Perspective on Ms. Palin

Their names have been removed but you can safely assume I know one of them extremely well and the other well enough. Start at the bottom

I'm not sure that the Repubs were actually trying to pick up the Hilary supporters - we are the among the most educated women in the country and not likely to support gender over policy. But they were definitely trying to corral the uneducated undecided women - at least the ones who aren't required to vote as their husband instructs and/or too lazy to learn and truly absorb anything about her beyond the minimal info she provided about herself in her speech (family values, lower taxes, boobs, etc).

I agree - the Dems need to take them both down hard. And I'd love to see Hilary land a few!

Dinner on the 27th works for us - anywhere in particular? Let's pick something elitist, snobby and urban. I'd hate to end up at a table next to someone eating a moose burger.

Re: Palin I'll start with my original impression, which is that the Republican party must genuinely believe that a set of tits makes you a complete and total imbecile. Throw in some functioning ovaries, which they want to control of course, and they think we are really a bunch of complete morons.

The choice of Palin I believe was supposed to push a set of buttons for all the areas in which they are concerned about votes, and I am hopeful that women in particular will see through it and see the underlying insult -- we can pick any idiot with boobs and you stupid women will follow us like the Pied Piper is pretty much what I see.

She is unsophisticated on all fronts, personal (which I don't care but is definitely important as far as the complete package goes, ignoring Mrs. Mccains $300K outfitting of course) and most importantly political. The woman has in no way shape or form, the credentials to be next in line for President of the United States. Governor of Alaska??? City Council??? Barack may have is experiential limitations, but I would take someone with experience in the 3rd largest city in the country over someone from the -- what whas it?? 298th largest??

Her speech if you note, was full of strong, supportable (for the most part) statements about Mccain, while the comments about her own successes where at best, fraudulent, and at worst, out and out lies (I'll send you the separate notes on that one.)

I truly hope that Dems come out and just beat the shit out of her. Hands off the kids, but she is fair game -- I hope she gets that sooner rather than later, and doesn't start whining gender bias crap. Yeah I want a woman in the White House, but I want one that really deserves it and Palin isn't it.

Enjoy the rodent pie, I suggest marinating for a while in Schlitz beer to get the gamey flavor out!Let's shoot for dinner soon, things are finally getting back on track from a schedule standpoint, how about 9/27??

I tried to watch her speech last night several times. I got tired of running to the bathroom to puke so finally just switched to "Top Design"

But seriously, I am a little concerned. Putting aside her complete lack of experience, I truly believe she is too conservative for many Republicans, especially the women. Unfortunately, I think that her right wing looney tune platform will be missed by many as the only thing that the media and the Republican strategists are going to talk about is the fact that she is 'new'. As in, 'a breath of fresh air', 'an opportunity for change in the Republican party' and 'representing the only true force for change in Washington'.

The Republicans don't need to run competent candidates - they've proven 2 elections in a row that all you need is an organized marketing / message machine combined with the willingness and lack of ethical standards required to lie and sling mud at the other side to sway the average voting American. Any combination of idiots on the ticket will work. It's a shame the Democrats can't figure this out.

And now I'm off to get me some roadkill for a nice rodent pie tonight. I may not like moose and I may not carry a gun but dagnabit, no one can say I don't take care of my family!
