Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said Wednesday she would consider serving in the Senate if God gave her the opportunity and Alaskans wanted her to take the job. The state’s senior senator, Republican Ted Stevens, fell behind as the count resumed in his re-election bid. We still don’t know the official results of the Alaska recount. […]

Palin and Feminism
Earlier this week, I received a very interesting response to my post about Michelle Obama being a better role model than Sarah Palin: I sometimes wonder that if she (Palin) wasn’t a republican and against abortion, wouldn’t the feminists love her? I spent a lot of time this week thinking about that. What does it […]

Joe is More Accessible Than Palin
It’s official. The Atlantic’s Andrew Sullivan points out that new celebrity Joe the Plumber is more accessible than VP nominee Sarah Palin. Joe held his first press conference today … which is more than we can say for Palin. Yet, she’s the one who is trying to earn votes?? Are we sure about that?

Another Conservative Losing Faith in McCain/Palin
First, George Will: Conservatives who insist that electing McCain is crucial usually start, and increasingly end, by saying he would make excellent judicial selections. But the more one sees of his impulsive, intensely personal reactions to people and events, the less confidence one has that he would select judges by calm reflection and clear principles, […]

Carly's "Pot Calling the Kettle Black" Moment
Former HP CEO and outspoken McCain campaign surrogate Carly Fiorina said that Sarah Palin is not qualified to run a Fortune 500 company. (I would venture to guess that that’s probably true, but that’s a different topic.) Presumably after the McCain campaign told Fiorina that she needed to undo the damage caused by this “foot […]

Women Against Sarah Palin
Today, my family has had quite the email debate about Sarah Palin. Clearly, she’s a woman who evokes strong feelings cross the political spectrum. I was surprised to learn that some people think those opposed to Sarah Palin are threatened by her. I think it our opposition to her has more to do with a […]
