Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think Gov. Sarah Palin is going to “win over” the so-called “Hillary Democrats” for a variety of reasons:
1. Palin is Anti-Choice.
2. Palin is Anti-Gay.
3. Does there really *need* to be any more reasons?
Yes, she’s a woman. But I hope to god that women voters aren’t so blind and shallow that they will vote for someone with those stances on the ticket just because she owns a vagina.
I found this story on a political humor site with this introduction on the site’s homepage:
In a surprise move that shocked qualified Republican women everywhere, John “Women’s Rights Aren’t Really My Thing” McCain announced today that Alaska Governor and pinup model Sarah Palin is his choice for Vice President, narrowly beating, McCain said, “that whore at Starbucks that gives me my coffee, AHAHAHAHAHAHA!” Pat Buchanan, a Staunch Conservative and thus a Foe To Women Everywhere, is expected to enjoy the most internally conflicted self-induced orgasm of his long, bitter life later this afternoon in the MSNBC men’s room while clutching a photograph of Gov. Palin in one clammy fist.
And yes, that is Palin in the photo. Now, the slathering horde are declaring “she’s hot” - which gives me pause in thinking that had Paris Hilton be older and have two years of being mayor of a town of 8,000 that she would’ve been asked to be the VP candidate. Or perhaps Jenna Jameson?
I’m not too concerned. I just think now I’m going to have to enter radio silence until the election because I’ll want to strangle other people. Out of love and unity, of course!
P.S. - I think the woman has a hair helmet because I can’t find any recent pictures where her hair isn’t up in that foofy ponytail.

First off, I am bummed that Tina Fey is no longer on SNL, because hellloooooo?? Perfect match!
Second, I didn’t want her to sound shrill, but she does. And she’s got a worse accent than I do. I get that this is superficial and doesn’t mean anything, I just had to get the catty out of my system. I won’t discuss her hair, primarily because I’m jealous that she can carry off bangs and not have to worry about a horrendous cowlick.
Third, McCain has just effectively shut down his “Obama has no experience” argument. Well done, John.
Fourth, she’ll be just a poisoned bottle of Ensure away from President should they get elected. If that happens, I will apparently have to cough up my uterus and hand it to her. Super.

Coughing up and handing over your uterus is the bestest thing I’ve read all day, Sandy With An E, huzzah!
Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.

I hate the weird ponytail/bun thing. If you’re just going to wear it “up” all the time, why not go for a shorter cut?
Anyhoo, back to the substance . . . I really really hope that the fact that she’s a woman doesn’t get the disgruntled Hillary supporters all excited about voting for McCain. She’s obviously not on the side of reproductive freedom, which in my mind, makes her bad on women’s health issues in general. Being anti-gay rights and pro-gun will also cut out a big group of liberals who may be persuaded to vote for McCain because she’s the VP. She’s also pro-drilling, which puts her on the outs with environmental groups. Basically, she’s a more attractive Dick Cheney.
