PALIN AND MCCAIN ARE SIMPLY WRONG FOR OUR COUNTRY

i'm a bit confused at this whole Sarah Palin thing. I know why conservative, Republican, right to life women would vote for her, but why McCain would think any Democratic women from the Hillary camp would somehow miraculously give up their rights on everything from a womans right to choose, to equal pay rights, to health care rights because he chose a woman as his VP pick is absurd, and shows just how uninformed McCain and his people are.

Sarah Palin is no Hillary Clinton. She didn't shatter, or even dent the glass ceiling. Clinton got 18 million votes. For that matter, Obama got even more. No one has voted for Sarah Palin in this election yet. That's her greatest weakness. She is fluff, someone for McCain to oggle at when he thinks the cameras aren't looking, and a bone throw to the Republican base to keep them quiet and happy. How can any mother who claims to be so concerned about her children never explain the idea of contraception to her very pretty teenager daughter? Why is a public official CCing her private citizen husband on State business. How can a woman who claims to be a law abiding figure subvert her own governments rules to nefariously arrange to fire her sisters ex husband from the Alaska state trooper force. The fact is that John Mccain and especially Sarah Palin WILL appoint justices to the supreme court who will severely curtail if not totally revoke YOUR right to choose?

Now, i'm a guy, and I don't have to face the abortion issues the way women do, but if I was an Independent or Democratic woman, I would never be able to forgive myself if I voted for Palin just because she's a woman. Make no mistake about it, she's a right wing Republican first and woman second, or as she likes to say " A pitt bull with lipstick". Not an attractive look, and definately a very unattractive Vice -presidential candidate, and even worse, a possibly nightmarish president. Women out there better get smart. she might be one of you physically, but that's where the similarity ends.
