Alaska Women Reject Palin
Posted in Opinion on September 21st, 2008 by BronwenAnother friend of mine forwarded an image-heavy e-mail about an anti-Palin rally in Anchorage. To say that the images and the story were amazing is an understatement of the highest water.
John McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate may prove to be a master-stroke of misdirection. If it works, I will cry, not only for the loss of an election, but for the loss of the American Dream.
A couple of days after John McCain announced Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate, I was over at my favorite uncle’s house having dinner with him and his wife. In the course of conversation, catching up on what had been going on in our respective lives, I asked my aunt what she thought of Ms. Palin’s nomination. Her response was that she thought Palin was “the kiss of death”. I couldn’t agree more, but for very different reasons than what my aunt had in mind.
