Wow, if I had used that turn of phrase, you'd have crucified me. Given
your known political stance, however, (somewhere to the left of Hugo Chavez)
it adds up -- but it's still somewhat shocking to see such a partisan
technique used by a woman against a woman candidate.

Oh, but describing McCain's choice as "genius" just because he picked a
FEMALE running mate -- nevermind the fact that he'd known her for 6
months and met with her TWICE before the announcement -- even so much as
stating that he'll pick up the former Hillary supporters now, regardless
of Palin's politics, **simply because she's a woman** is okay?

BTW, it was his wife, Cindy, who, when asked what foreign policy
experience her husband's VP pick has, answered by saying that Alaska is
the closest state to Russia! Is that the kind of confidence-inspiring
answer that's supposed to raise our comfort level about Palin? Wow.
