We have the issue of whether or not palin is ready to lead on day one because she is a woman with some challenging family responsibilities. The repubs are saying many are being sexist because of the position.

Why then, does palin continue to bring it up day in and day out - that she is a hockey mom, proud mom, working mom, christian mom, evangelical mom, american mom, right to life mom, abstinence education mom, witty mom, pitbull mom, grandmom,etc, etc....

Who is really deflecting back to the fact that she's a woman running for vp - us or her?

On a sidebar:

Personally, I feel that 1) the evangelicals needed a reason to not for a democrat - any democrat and 2) they are desperate to win for themselves and their values at any cost.

For the republicans, its not about country first or us - it's about them and the ones they feel are worthy of protection and who they deem acceptable.

McCain and palin can't change that and they are not trying to. They are relishing in the division between the two partys. They don't want your vote, they want you to submit.

No way, no how, no mccain.

The differant attacks upon the Gov. have been rather comical to say the least. The labels you mentioned have been put on her by all the media sources as adjectives to discribe an unknown to them. The question of her raising a family is obvious sexism, when Biden's wife died many years ago, it was never thought of that he step down to raise his family. But then again the media going after a woman, bashing is thought of as okay(Hillary), but NEVER say anything to question Obama, hense be labeled a racist.
