None of my pro-Hillary female friends are falling for this obvious GOP pander. To the contrary, McCain's selection of Sarah Palin as his VP is drawing hoots of derision.
Once they learn that Sarah Palin opposes rape and incest exceptions for women seeking abortion, they completely write her off.
One female friend said: "Sarah Palin is to the movement for women's equality what Clarence Thomas is to civil rights. She's an extremist and an enemy to the cause that has been fought on her behalf.... Someone should stand up and say: 'I know Senator Clinton. Senator Clinton is a friend of mine. And Sarah Palin is no Hillary Rodham Clinton.'"
One female friend did some quick internet research and said, "Sarah Palin has a great deal of surface appeal, at first. But once America's women look behind that cheerleader smile and see at her extreme social agenda, they will run the other direction."

Sometimes the majority only means that all the fools are on the same side.

According to the gals in our family (and resentment is running high amongst the Hillary supporters)..Palin is nothing but a Republican piece of fluff!.. And the fact that this woman has 5 kids and one with a serious disability is a bone of contention with the women that have to really struggle with a smaller family and face losing a much needed job if they have to take too much time off work to care for a child that is prone to ear infections or the ever increasing number of kids with asthma!!
Ms. Palin also favors "home schooling" well why not?..If you are rich enough to hire someone to address the needs of your children while you can "afford" to devote your time to being a suscessful politican..and that is a24/7 endevor...why not?
Bottom line...Ms. Palin is nothing like the millions of working moms in our country...and she's a hell of a lot higher on the "social scale" than the soccer moms of a few years back!!
