Does anyone feel confident Palin would be an effective and knowledgeable President? This matters a lot because of McCain's age and bouts with cancer.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>He could have picked a woman who was qualified rather than one who clearly isn't. Furthermore McCain could have chosen a qualified republican female as his running mate. The fact he didn't, the people I've spoken to, say it looks like an act of desperation.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Voters do not always vote on the issues. Many vote on their e_motions. I believe when a large portion of women voters learn about Palin's positions that will deter them from voting for her -- with the exception of the far right who believe abortion is their business and should be criminalized ....<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>All in all Obama is basically ignoring Palin for now.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Lastly speaking as a woman, if Palin cannot stand up to the heat she ought to get out of the race. Women are not as fragile as most think, however, I read Palin uses that defense when it is politically expedient. <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Imagine what happens when she is confronted by Putin or al-Maliki or Sarkosy notwithstanding. <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>After having said she did not pay attention to Iraq because she was too busy does not instill confidence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6355709063431328024.post-35684156344633987902008-08-30T15:07:00.000-07:002008-08-30T15:07:00.000-07:00Your last point is your best I think.

If Democrats attack her in a condescending Michael Moore style way, it turns people off as elitist, liberal arrogance. A very intelligent conservative friend of mine from Kansas once said to me, "You just don't get it. Democrats lose out here because they give the impression that they look down on our values and the way we live our lives." The title of this post sums it all up. Attack McCain/Palin on Iraq and the economy period and stay away from the idea that Ms. Palin is unprepared or stupid. It will turn people off and that's a guarantee.isuyankeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03662534009915605075noreply@blogger.com
