Wouldn't that be nice?

Republican governors from the states of Alaska, Idaho, Louisiana, MIssissippi, South Carolina and Texas have "threatened" to reject stimulus money. I propose that the governors of these states go whole hog and pledge to remove themselves from the welfare rolls of the federal goverment entirely. More below.

As a middle-aged, white woman who has been thinking about politics intensely for a very long time, this is my conclusion. Palin will be toxic to the McCain campaign not because she is a woman, but because she is a young(ish) woman. If Palin were, perhaps, ten years older and if all of her children were ten years older, she and her ticket would be in a much stronger position. But the way I see it, is that there are alot of women out there paying their dues . . . AT HOME. Not necessarily staying at home, but actually putting their homes and families first. And you know what? Sometimes it sucks. It doesn't feel good putting your career on hold, or on the "mommy track", but you do it. Follow me over the jump and I'll tell you why.
