FEMINISTS GONE WILD "Left-wing feminists have a hard time dealing with strong, successful conservative women in politics such as Margaret Thatcher. Sarah Palin seems to have truly unhinged more than a few, eliciting a stream of vicious, often misogynist invective," Cathy Young writes in the Wall Street Journal. "On Salon.com last week, Cintra Wilson branded her a 'Christian Stepford Wife' and a 'Republican blow-up doll.' Wendy Doniger, religion professor at the University of Chicago Divinity School, added on the Washington Post blog, 'Her greatest hypocrisy is in her pretense that she is a woman.' "You'd think that, whether or not they agree with her politics, feminists would at least applaud Mrs. Palin as a living example of one of their core principles: a woman's right to have a career and a family. Yet some feminists unabashedly suggest that her decision to seek the vice presidency makes her a bad and selfish mother. Others argue that she is bad for working mothers because she's just too good at having it all," the writer said. "In the Boston Globe on Friday, columnist Ellen Goodman frets that Mrs. Palin is a 'supermom' whose supporters 'think a woman can have it all as long as she can do it all … by herself.' In fact, Sarah Palin is doing it with the help of her husband Todd, who is currently on leave from his job as an oil worker. But Ms. Goodman's problem is that 'she doesn't need anything from anyone outside the family. She isn't lobbying for, say, maternity leave, equal pay, or universal pre-K.'"

LOOKS FAMILIAR "Barack Obama has turned into Michael Dukakis, John Kerry and Al Gore. Sarah Palin has turned into Ronald Reagan," John Brummett writes in the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "Thus the electoral map looks fairly typically red where it counts and blue where it doesn't," Mr. Brummett said. "Ohio and Florida show up red, which, unless Colorado and Nevada and New Mexico flip en masse from red to blue and are bigger than I think, pretty much means the old ball game. "Democrats win the cities. John McCain and the moose-hunter take all that space in between. "For all the talk of newness and history-making, we've seen this presidential race before."
