My (female, pro-Obama, anti-McCain) perspective seems to be aligned with Helen's. I'm insulted. The very idea that droves of women will swing over to vote for McCain simply because he picked an unknown woman to run with him...grrr. What does she really bring to the table in terms of "something McCain doesn't have"?

Regarding "family values", whatever that means - she returned to work three days after giving birth to her Trig (the one with down syndrome) saying "My baby will not be at all or in any sense neglected." I run a bit conservative on those lines, and I'm sure there are plenty of McCain supporters who would be troubled by the working mom mystique.

Likewise. Not that I would vote McCain anyways, but it so happens that pretty much every first world country besides US offers paid maternity leave. Doesn't sound like she'd be pushing women's rights in that direction. Her 3 day return says to me that she doesn't value family all that much.

To me, that's a woman in patriarchal Alaska overdoing the I'm-tougher-than-a-man. And speaking of Alaska, Palin is governor of a state with a population of 670,00 or, as the Dallas News says here, Alaska = Memphis.

So if she could go back to work after 3 days, the job of governor of Alaska can't be that demanding.

Palin is a Dan Quayle pick.
