Palin, pregnancy and the presidency

A female friend of mine said this article accurately reflects her reaction to the Palin Pick. I've discussed this with some other liberal/moderate women and there seems to be consensus on this. In contrast, I know of at least one conservative woman who thinks Palin is fantastic and would not agree with this article.

"McCain has committed a sickening grievance against both voters and those female politicians whom he purports to respect and support. What a failure by McCain to have this woman -- with her pregnancies and progeny and sex life and child-rearing prowess now being inspected instead of her policy and voting history -- stand in for, and someday, possibly emblemize the political progress of American women, especially at a moment at which women had, temporarily it seems, risen far enough above our gestational capabilities to be taken seriously in the race for the White House."
