I'm a woman and like Palin. I know other women who like Palin. But I agree, there are women who don't. I haven't figured out why, myself. My personal unsubstantiated opinion is because they feel threatened by her. The ones that don't like her seem to latch onto any perceived imperfection, even to the sound of her voice. She's intelligent, beautiful, successful, has a man who adores her, a loving family even though the kids aren't perfect, and is happy with her life. They might not admit it, but I think that's the deep-down reason.
Out and out jealousy. Plain and simple. IMO
Go Sarah and Rick!
An interesting question, in regards to what women think about Palin versus Bachman. So far, I’ve not quite gotten the sense that Bachman has received the ire from women that Palin has. My assumption is that Bachman is viewed more in the light of a typical politician (albeit a conservative one), whereas there’s something truly unique about Palin that transcends politics, into the realm of cultural iconography, where she is seen as a far more dangerous threat to liberalism, beyond simple politics. As such, I admit I tend view Palin as a much more powerful figure.
I know not all women like Sarah. Myself. I love her.
I have spoken to many women who do not like her, and not one of them can give me a real reason.
I do know that many will not vote for her because she is a woman. I don’t see them voting for Bachman either.
Given the Candidates in the running right now,for me , it’s Sarah all the way.
