Right now every diary I have read has been giddy about running against Sarah Palin. Sh is certainly unqualified to be vice president. The town she was Mayor until a few years ago is one-fifth the size of Northbrook, Illinois which is a suburb of Chicago. It is like McCain picked our Village President. Yet she is not Dan Quayle' my guess is that she knows how to spell "potato". If Democrats eviscerate her or treat her disrespectfully it will come back to haunt the Democrats.
McCain is clearly trying to pander for the women's vote. If Palin is treated disrespectfully, it will reopen the wounds of the Primary Season. That is McCain's goal with this off the wall pick. Sexism has no part in this election. It helps no one to criticize her hair do; attacking her views are enough. She is a little to the right of Karl Rove. She is anti choice and is a Creationist. She has as much foreign policy experience as I do.
Listening to her speech, the only positive thing she has said about McCain is that he was a P.O.W. Just let her dig her own grave.
