Well, you musn’t let that get to you. This sort of misogenism is cookbook liberal election fare. You can take offense if you wish, but you’ll be in a straight jacket by the time the elections rolls around. Take all of this “arm waving” with an eye to its street theater roots.
None of this is personal, or even real. It’s simply an exercise over who the left wants to destroy today.
Personally I’m not sure Palin is the one. I think she’s working that out right now. Is she a worthy successor to Reagan? Remember, Reagan’s communicative powers may well have been exceeded by his intellect, though no one knew that before the election. What concerns me, is that we’re not seeing other Republicans testing out the waters. We should have some more choices, but the Republican party seems to be somewhat rudderless at present. No matter, she’s an interesting possibility if no one else steps forward.
ditto.
Biden is supposed to be the face of experience in Obummer's administration. They told us that he was specifically picked to appeal to our key demographic in southwest Pennsylvania-- blue collar, Roman Catholic and many retired people because Biden was actually raised in Pennsylvania.
The actual result:
With two weeks notice of a mid-day rally, Biden could not even fill a medium-sized high school gym in our county seat. The media would not even show crowd shots because there were so many empty seats. All they would show were shots of the "amen chorus" behind the speaker and describe the crowd as "about 500." Most of the 500 were press and the "amen chorus" bussed in for the free event.
Meanwhile, Sarah had over 3000 people turn out with 24 hours notice to a 6 a.m. airport rally about 10 miles away. What few press covered the event couldn't beleive the contrast.
When the votes were counted, Obummer barely cracked 42% in a county which Mondale carried in the Reagan landslide of 1984.
