I really want to like Palin. I do. I want to support women in politics. I want to support the Alaskan. But I also see some of myself in her. She loves Alaska, as do I. She's bossy, speaks her mind, and is used to getting her own way. Me too. She's a big fish from a small pond. I'd be a liar if I said that isn't one of the appealing things about

I think the Republican party has completely used her

really? i think it was a mutually symbiotic arrangement. she was virtually unknown until the VP nomination which threw her face on the national political map.

ugh.ugh.ugh. i really do not like that two-faced woman at all.

I firmly disagree that she isn't smart. Pretty much each and every person that has dealt with her - even when they hate her guts - talks about how smart she is. What a quick study she is, how she can focus

Everyone in Alaska comments on her lack of intellectual curiosity. Working the system is not the same as smarts. I do believe that media and her own party have played up the ditz role. However, if she in any plays up that ditz role.... I can't politely state how much I disrespect women who play dumb, especially smart women who play dumb. Can.not.abide. It is an insult to women everywhere and is akin to pushing others under in order not to drown.

I think she has a narrow focus - anything not inside of that area of focus she spends no time on. Of course...that's my opinion on someone I've never met.

I like that you wish you liked her, because there is no part of me that wants to like her, or that does like her. I always thought Alaskan governors were all insane, so there was never a reason to take her seriously, woman or not.
