From
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26464141/ which is an article on the selection of Sarah Palin as John McCain's presidential running-mate:
"It's basically the equivalent of a midnight raid behind enemy lines," said Juleanna R. Glover, a GOP strategist with ties to the McCain campaign. "Hillary said she made 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling. Well, McCain just shattered it."
I enjoy the choice of words Glover used here. McCain has shattered the glass ceiling, not Palin. And no ceiling has really been shattered unless she becomes VP, considering the vice-presidential candidacy of Geraldine Ferraro in 1984.
Derp derp.
