Is Sarah Palin a bad example for minorities, break the glass using affirmative action? ?

Question

Sarah Palin is an affirmative action pick, mayor of 5000 people and govenor of 600,000 people for a year, lol affirmative action at its best or what?

Answer 1

No, not affirmative action... just desperation on the GOP side. They are really looking scared now. And she isn't a feminist by any rights so they aren't going to get those votes.

Some feminists didn't like Hillary because she played the "I'm a woman so I get special privileges" card.  

Answer 2

India votes in it's leader with the same philosophy. Their candidates always represent a certain minority group. It's an obvious attempt to get the Hilary votes. I still like Nader.

Answer 3

The glass has already been broken.

He did need a woman though to have a chance.  I listened, or tried to listen, to her interview and got bored real fast. Won't be my choice as I don't see her as president, especially since McCain could kill over at any moment.

Answer 4

The last time I looked, women were not in the minority.  She didn't win elections thru affirmative action.  She is a much needed change.  She has more executive experience than any of the others running.  McCain made a wise choice in selecting her.  Obama could have had an unbeatable ticket, but he chose old Washington politics.  ***

Answer 5

No, she was picked for being a Washinton outsider her and yes because she is a competent woman who has achieved things other politican only talk  and dream about doing.  

I would call giving your state a budget surplus and fighting and winnning against corruption in your own party very impressive, indeed.

Answer 6

So you think McCain picked Palin with no regard to her usefulness to his campaign?

Considerate of him.... but I think she'll be an asset.

Answer 7

How is it affirmative action again?  Last I checked, and I don't quite know if it is for every state, but governors have to be in this thing called an election to be voted for.

Answer 8

I think McCain believes the V.P.'s job will be to stand around looking pretty and fetching coffee for the men.

Sarah Palin = Harriet Miers

Answer 9

Hmmm, I think Obama did it first:)

He wouldn't have graduated if they hadn't "fixed" his grades.
