I was at brunch just today with several (7, 8 counting me) conservative, accomplished, church-going wives and moms, all of whom are involved in politics in one way or the other. None of them currently support Sarah Palin. One other woman and myself probably came the closest when we said we’d vote for her if she is the nominee. No one else would make that commitment.

Calling women catty and telling them that they couldn’t possibly be as pretty as Sarah Palin or that they are jealous isn’t the way to win over minds for your candidate.

But since women are only half of the electorate, I’m sure the name callers feel that Sarah Palin’s campaign can succeed without them.

Right?

And addressing women’s actual concerns is probably just stupid.

Right?

Women tend to be more timid voters, they will approve of Palin more when she starts a campaign, and they see that she is not as threatening or as the media portrays her.
