No.

Answer 2

lol...NOOOOOOO

Answer 3

No

And as you can see this is really the Elephant in the room that no one is talking about

Answer 4

Interesting question.

Yes, I believe Palin would not have been considered were she not female. That being said, I think that we got pretty lucky she was considered. This woman is the best candidate on either ticket. She really is the type of politician Obama pretends to be. Started from the bottom, worked her way up purely on ability and track record. She has a proven record of limiting useless government spending, and had no ambitions for the White House before she was considered.

Really, she may be the only honest politician left, and I don't care why she obtained the nomination, I'm just really glad she got it.

Answer 5

Sarah Palin is no stranger to the "maverick" label often assigned to Sen. John McCain, Alaska's youngest and first female governor has pushed for ethics investigations of fellow Republicans in her state and bucked the powerful oil industry on a major natural gas pipeline project.

When she ran for governor in 2006, she ran as an outsider and an agent for change. But she's also an anti-abortion, pro-gun fiscal conservative — something sure to please the Republican base.

As governor, Palin says she's tried to instill public confidence in the government of a state that's been shaken by political scandals. She won't invite lobbyists to her office and has introduced ethics reform legislation. One of her first acts as governor was to kill the now infamous "bridge to nowhere" pork-barrel spending project. And she put the former governor's personal jet up for sale on eBay.

Sounds like more than a pretty face as you sexist libs keep trying to paint her.

Keep attacking her for being a pretty woman.  when people start to see who she really is you will look like the party hacks you really are.
