Leo, I did not mean to offend. The Republicans have built their public image (as I see it) around traditional values- Christian religion, women who don't work (mostly), anti-abortion, among other things. So by touting her husband and kids in her acceptance speech, she puts herself forward as following the party line. It's true that not all conservatives are the same, but they are operating with this public image.

I can't see the women that I know who are pro-Hilary voting for Palin.

I do agree that none of the candidates are qualified to be president- nothing but actually doing it gives that kind of experience. I just get a better feel that Obama will surround himself with better counselors than will McCain.
