Quote of the week

"I believe that someday we are going to have a woman president, possibly during my life, and I've often thought the best way to pave the way for this was to first nominate and elect a woman as vice-president. But I think McCain made a serious mistake when he picked Sarah Palin as his running mate. In my view, he guessed wrong in deciding to take a governor that almost nobody had ever heard of and try to put her in line for the presidency ... I don't know who among the Republicans might have been a better choice, but it was obvious McCain picked Sarah Palin simply because he believed there was a 'gender gap' where I was concerned and she was a woman."

Ronald Regan in his 1991 memoir, "An American Life" - I just changed "Democrats" for "Republicans," "congresswoman" for "governor," "Mondale" for "McCain," an "Geraldine Ferraro" for "Sarah Palin."
