The GOP is not immune from sexism, and I too, expect to hear some sniping. Not like Sarah hasn’t heard it all before though. It’ll backfire on them though — women don’t take too kindly to one of their own being disparaged for her gender. I’ve even seen some “Obama-women” taking members of their own party to task for their sexist commentary on DU over the last 24 hours. It’ll backfire BIG time. This isn’t the 50s anymore. Females in my generation grew up KNOWING we were capable of anything we set our minds to. You don’t really want to mess with us. ;)
I don't think sexism will be the reason.
The liberal wing of the GOP is probably already quietly chafing at the conservative base's vocally positive response to her candidacy.
