Doesn't get any clearer than this

I was reading an article by Gloria Steinem of the L.A. Times, about how women are looking at Palin, when I came across this gem:
 "Palin shares nothing but a chromosome with Clinton."
Doesn't get any better than that. Gloria is 100% right and 0% wrong.

is why woman are angry.  Especially REAL feminists--you know, the ones that fought for a woman's right to CHOOSE a career over children.  For those of us in truly demanding jobs.

Here's one from a Republican woman (none / 0)

Another good article on that same theme.

"Republican operatives are also promoting the inevitable family bathos. A Republican consultant on National Public Radio pushed the fact that Palin had declared her Down’s syndrome son “perfection.” Other pundits noted that “she loves her family.” Many people—including Democrats—feel the same about their own families. Palin’s motherly dedication is admirable—though with a 4-month-old infant, and a disabled one at that, to care for, this may not be the best time to audition for the second-toughest job in the world. But her maternal feelings are irrelevant to her executive acumen and knowledge of economic and geopolitical issues. Palin may have those attributes in spades, but if so, let’s hear about them, not her domestic relations.

Ironically, Barack Obama stood up to the diversity imperative in selecting Joe Biden as his running mate. And his nomination speech last Thursday was notable for the minimal use he made of the anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech and for his barely noticeable allusion to his race. It was too much to hope for that the diversity agenda would recede into the background of his own candidacy—his supporters and the media will never allow that to happen. Nevertheless, it’s a sad day when Republicans decide to match the Democratic predilection for chromosomal consciousness, since there will be no turning back."

History in Hillary's Hands (none / 0)
Were Senator Clinton to forcefully and clearly reveal the condecending and cynical nature of McCain's blunder, from the female perspective, the rout would be on.  Especially if she challenged Palin to discuss her experience and service to women's rights with Hillary.  Her rejection of Hillary would incense whatever real Hillary holdouts exist, and it would make it clear she is no Hillary Clinton, Palin is as AnnaK says "a whimp" (I like that spelling much better, because it blends whinner and wimp.)
