Oh yeah, sexism is alive and well in America! Just as many African Americans voted for Obama just 'cause he's half black, many women are all aflutter because of Hillary and Sarah. Never mind that Hillary is an egotistical Leftist, and Sarah couldn't serve up a turkey for Thanksgiving without help, they're both women! Hurrah. At least Hillary's postmenapausal, while Sarah has FIVE kids. Wonder where her priorities are? Sorry to burst the bubble, but women can no more be anything they want to be anymore than men can, and equal means equal, period. The reality biologically is simply that women have a vastly different role in the continuation of our species. You can't just shuffle kids around all day with 'minders' and au pairs. Most American women know this, and wouldn't do it to their kids. So why is it OK and wonderful for Sarah to do it, as she does now? There's NO privacy for those in public life, her family arrangements are just a public as is that of the future president. But we should check her qualifications first, and her life style, then decide.

I consider myself a well educated indepentend middle of the road woman and try to vote for the best qualified canidate not a party. Sarah Palin is the most unqualified person the Republican party has pulled out since Dan Quyale. This woman was one of the most mean spirited people I have listened to in a long time and is pushing herself out front. John McCain I could have voted for but after he picked Palin I questioned his ability to make good judgements for our country. But then I have not agreeded with the Republican party for many years as they are too far from the mainstream american. There are so many problems that the Bush administration has caused that I don't think anyone cares about Palin except the conservatives. I just wish Palin would disapear. If the media would quit covering her maybe she would.

Those who make negative comments would have a completely different image of Sarah Palin if the mainstream media had used with her the same favorable disposition that they have used with Barack Obama. The media in this country are about 80% left-leaning. This simple fact produces seriously distorted views of many issues, not just about Sarah Palin. It is probably the most serious threat to our democracy.
Sarah Palin is the best choice for the Republican Party in 2012 because, besides being fiscally and socially conservative, she has the courage, energy and charisma to be a great leader.

Governor Sarah Palin seem much more confident and stronger than ever after the election.
she's accomplished more in her life in working her way up to chief executive of a state than most of you reading this will probably do in your entire lives. Too bad the media is not focus on her reputation as a fighter against corruption, an expert on energy, and a voice for modern American women balancing work and family. She's wonderful, and I know we haven't seen the last of her.

Fool me once Shame on you, Fool me twice Shame on me. The Republicans won't be fooling anyone if they run Palin in 2012.

The liberals are still scared of Palin, look at the negative crap they write. What's the matter, afraid that she will force you to own a firearm? Or have you eating moose chili? We conservatives will be back, if the RePO team leave us anything.

Until then, they have to rip apart a successful woman like Palin because she happens to be attractive and doesn't cheat on her husband w/butch women.
Ladies come to the GOP where women are women and darn proud to be!!

You're mistaken , Ginger of Il and others. Everybody to the left of Rush Limbaugh has completely forgotten Sarah Palin. She has disappeared from the radar screen and only a handful of fringe ultra-right wingers are deluding themselves that she still exists. If we Republicans want to recapture the White House, we'd better be devoting our efforts toward finding and cultivating a viable and capable candidate. We need a serious candidate, not a laughing stock.
