I posted one from Jennifier Parker.

Of course I am worried. I am for Obama and article like this are upsetting. I could even have taken McCain but Sara's
political platform is just too much to the right for me.
I have all ready posted what my objections to her are.

Her platform is anti women as far as I am concerned. Right now she has all the hearts in America and America has a big one in empathy with her because of the Down Baby. I feel badly too but
it doesn't change the facts of her religious convictions and her stance on issues.

Imo those women are frustrated because in their lives they have never counted for much, and in Palin they see a way where they will count for something.

It is understandable.

The sad thing is that, after this election is over, they still won't count for much.

If they swing the election, so be it.

because Sarah Palin is “just like us.”

That's why people voted for Bush and see where it got them.

This detailed bit of reporting from the McCain-Palin rally in Virginia explains why the Palin phenomenon is so dangerous for Barack Obama. . . .

Eight working mothers from the Virginia Run development in Centreville went together to the Palin-McCain rally yesterday because Sarah Palin is “just like us.”


Jennifer Rubin, writing for Commentary Magazine, lacks a background in history. The Bush folk ran in both 2000 and 2004 on that was the guy folk could have a beer with. It's not new. And look what it got us.
