Vote for the man who's right on the issues--John McCain. An added bonus is the woman who's right on the issues-Sarah Palin.

Also, Palin's current pastor agrees with a visiting Jews for Jesus representative that violence against Jews in Israel is a result of God's judgment against them for not converting to Christianity. Palin, herself, was in attendance at that very same sermon. This church and Palin's courting of the Alaskan secessionist party makes her far outside the mainstream of America.

Compare candidates on women's issues, not one woman's image 2:16 PM Wed, Sep 10, 2008 Michael Landauer All the talk about Sarah Palin and feminism is focusing on the intangibles, on what she represents, on what hidden code words her critics are using to attack her and so on. Let's look at the issues. Where do the major party candidates stand on the major issues that affect women? One good way to judge is Project Vote Smart's objective look at how they match up against recognized special-interest groups. Barack Obama: Strong support of women's issues, including a 100 percent rating from Business and Professional Women USA, the League of Women Voters and others. Joe Biden: Almost as strong, but longer record than Obama, with 100 percent ratings from the League of Women Voters, American Association of University Women and others. John McCain: Not so good. The highest mark he has is a 60 percent agreement with Business and Professional Women USA in 2003. Sarah Palin: No record. To be fair, it's not her fault; it's just that Project Vote Smart doesn't collect such data on governor's offices. But questions have been raised about her state's abysmal record on family services and lack of pre-K education funding. I think it's swell that polls show excitement around a woman being on the GOP ticket. It is exciting. But the women I know don't vote based on excitement. They vote on issues, results and trust, among other things. We would do them all a service if we started focusing on those things a bit more.
