For Discussion: Sarah's the One
(2008-09-02)
(WEKU) - Here's some short takes on the Sarah Palin nomination:

Experience. Barack Obama's been a national figure for almost four years. Sarah Palin's been a national figure for almost four hours.

Palin's Role Model. Joe Biden said that John McCain would be picking the next Dick Cheney for Vice-President. McCain picked the next Dan Quayle instead.

The Hillary Effect. Hillary Clinton's candidacy was about expanding opportunities for women. Little did Sarah Palin know that she would be the first woman to benefit from those opportunities.

The Bill Effect. Chris Matthew claimed that Hillary Clinton wouldn't have been running for president if Bill hadn't slept around on her. Sarah Palin would be running for vice-president either.

The Republicans and Women. By nominating Sarah Palin, conservative Republicans have proved once again that they don't hate women. Conservatives have two behaviors toward women-- hating women or proving that they don't hate women.
