My 70 year old mother just never bought Obama. She was a Hillary supporter. She was turned off by the bad treatment that she perceived that Hillary received.
Sarah Palin just put a nail in the coffin.
First, Mom was ready to vote for MCCain until he picked Palin for VP. Mom felt that this showed a lack of judgement and was just too impulsive of a pick.
Second, Mom feels that she is responsible for outting her daughter's pregnancy. Mom thinks that a good mtoher with a special needs child and a pregnant teen would "tend" to the family. She feels that she let her ambition get into the way of mothering. My mother was a working women until she retired. She doesn't think that having a job is wrong, just that she shouldn't be a heart beat away from the presidency with these family issues.
Third, Sarah Palin's speech, to my mom, was way too negative and way to sarcastic. She felt that palin should have spent most of the speech telling us about her and why she is qualified to be vp or even president. She was so upset with her attacks. She also wanted beef. Mom wanted to hear something about the economy.
Mom is voting in Missouri!!!
I am sending her an Obama lawn sign today.
Palin turned off this midwestern mother for good. Thank you Sarah Palin for your negativity.
