...is obviously in great company! Yes, this is a political post. I am so tired of people assuming because Ms. Palin is the Alaskan governor, that I (we) support her current political aspirations (gag).
I love that the "Alaska Women Reject Palin" rally was so successful - now for that, I'm proud to be an Alaskan!
I know not all my readers are on my side of the ballot, and that's OK. I respect differences in opinion! What I don't like is the current fad of supporting a candidate for her gender, not her politics. Off my soapbox now.
Go Alaskan women! *grin*

I was wondering how you were handling the Republican ticket. You get a double-wammy...Palin from Alaska, McCain from Arizona.
I had to google "who is Eddie Burke" from the link...
You mean just because she's a mom and you're a mom doesn't mean you'll automatically lose all common sense and vote for her? LOL
I love you Jen.
I love you too, Jen. But since you broached this topic, I'd like to add that neither should anyone support a candidate for his color or lack thereof. Interesting that this election will have all kinds of people saying one thing and voting another. Men don't want to appear to be sexist and some people don't want to appear to be racist. Inside the polling booth they will be honest with themselves.
I took Jen to mean that those who have traditionally expressed strong support for getting women into the highest political offices do so because they care about feminist issues that Palin either doesn't support or directly opposes. As far as voting and race goes, I think that voters who truly care about racial fairness can make a pretty solid choice based on the candidates' positions and records. No consideration of skin color should be necessary to make those determinations either... and I love Jen too!
