I'm an Obama-supporter. That said, it would be really nice if Sarah Palin didn't go down in history as being a total airhead with a runaway mouth, a ditz, a hothouse flower, weak, etc.[Poll #1271242][Poll #1271242]
I agree with her, but I don't think the "mother of five" bit helps her. She's either superhuman and finds time to both run a country and run a family, or she lets one of them sit on the back burner... which makes me think less of her. If she had fewer kids I'd be more inclined to believe she can do whatever, but five of them with one being special needs is just a bit insane.
Regardless, I've known too many women like her and I didn't like any of them. I couldn't vote for her for any reason short of her turning liberal... which is beyond unlikely.
I have half a dozen other reasons why I could never, ever vote for her, the most prevalent of which are her politics. After that it's her inexperience, her personality, her willingness to be a trophy candidate, her apparent lack of intelligence, and pretty much everything that woman stands for both politically and morally. I don't like her. I don't like McCain. Hell, I don't like Obama that much, but he's the lesser evil. None of the independent candidates are particularly appealing, so Obama is really the only one I can consent to chucking in with.
Damn, if only Hillary was still in the running I might be more gung-ho about politics, but I'm stuck with the whole "lesser evil" scenario. If the economy weren't so shitty I'd fill my tank, head for Canada, and hide out in the woods with the bears and the moose until the world implodes.
