Oh, Palin's charming, all right - as long as you don't look too hard at her qualifications or her positions. I can totally respect someone with her beliefs or someone who supports her because of that, but I'm seriously done with former Clinton supporters who are throwing themselves behind her because she's a woman. Politically, she's the anti-Hilary, and that's not okay.
Re: McCain's opinion on abortion - back in 2000, when he ran as a moderate Republican with a history of bipartisanship, he toned down the pro-life rhetoric, but he's always been pretty rabidly anti-choice, and it's only gotten worse this election cycle. I think he understood that the only way to get the nomination was to play to the base, and he did. Unfortunately, this makes him a pretty scary option for those of us on the moderate-to-liberal end of the political spectrum.

Some other stuff about Palin that's interesting: McCain/Palin on working mothers, Palin's lack of support for other people's pregnant daughters, and an explanation of why McCain and Palin are ( ... )
