And I am saying this as a liberal woman.

Ugh.

Well, I don't believe that anyone needs to get misogynistic on Palin, although they certainly will. As a Hillary supporter, this election has truly made me angry. It's 2008; stop attacking someone for simply their femaleness. I don't think anyone should attack her for her parenting skills, although...they do somewhat come into the picture since she asked for them too. I don't think she deserves special, hands-off treatment because she's a woman. If Chelsea Clinton had come to the convention 5 months pregnant, questions would have been raised...although Chelsea is in her late 20s, not 17. Who chooses to run when fresh meat in the form of your 17-year-old lies in wait? I question her judgment on two fronts...doesn't she know what she's doing to her daughter? By simply choosing to run, her daughter is now Enquirer material. And what about her judgment on abstinence-only education? To me, these are both bad judgment calls on major things....in her own life. If she's going to make calls like this for her family--people that intimately matter to her--what kind of calls is she going to make for us, people she doesn't even know? If ideology is more important than her actual daughter...ideology will dictate all kinds of great things for people to whom she is not related. I don't see what I have just said as attacking her as a person....I see that as questioning her judgment and her likely actions. Also, on her ability to lead...is a woman who is being coached on foreign policy since she has no knowledge of it and having all of her speeches written for her, etc., demonstrating that she's ready to lead? I'm not sure that it does. These are not personal attacks on Palin that no other candidate would have to endure...attacks on what she looks like, etc., those things have no place in the campaign. But, attacks on what she thinks is what politics are all about because what she thinks has the potential to impact all of us.
