Thank you for saying so eloquently what so many of us are feeling. As a woman I’ve never felt that my gender was a handicap, and what I’ve achieved in my career and my life I’ve done on my own merits and my own work. Sarah Palin and I share some views, but I disagree with her on others. That being said McCain’s gone up in my estimation in his pick and while I was undecided I’m now leaning toward supporting McCain/Palin. Her views on the drug war, energy policy, her veto of the bill that would’ve prevented same-sex couples from receiving state benefits, and her bucking of her own party on the “bridge to nowhere” project lead me to believe she thinks for herself and makes decisions on what’s best for her constituancy. I am thrilled to see a happy, beautiful mother of five who has her own thoughts and ideas come to the fore of American politics and as a strong independent woman she inspires me to continue to work for what I believe in as well.
