I Supported Hillary Clinton, and you, Sarah Palin, Are No Hillary

If Sarah Palin (seen here sporting a fur collar!) thinks that she is going to get Hillary Clinton's supporters to vote for John McCain because she is a woman vice presidential candidate, she has another thing coming.

If she thinks that those 18 million people voted for Hillary because she was a woman, she really needs to read up on Hillary Clinton.

People voted for Hillary for the same reason that that people voted for Barack Obama: because they're fed up with how things are. Both candidates offered solid, sensible, workable (although not easy) long-term solutions. Although they differed somewhat, their vision is the same: to end the war in Iraq, to bring affordable health care to every American, to end our dependence on foreign fuel sources, to stop global warming and save our Earth, and to end discrimination of all kinds, to improve education for every child, to restore our cred with the rest of the world, and to restore our standing as the greatest nation in the world.

We are disappointed, of course, that Hillary came in second, and a little disappointed that she is not the vice presidential candidate. But having Barack Obama as the candidate instead of Hillary Clinton is like having Tom Seaver pitching instead of Roger Clemens. Yes, thank you.

So if Sarah Palin thinks she's anything like Hillary Clinton, she has another thing coming.

Oh, wait! There is one way they are the same! They both know what it is like to be the subject of a criminal investigation. The difference is, of course, Hillary Clinton wasn't investigated for improper conduct while in public office.

Good luck, Sarah trying to get those votes: you're going to need it.

I wonder if she shot and skinned that fur herself. I understand her father used to get her up at 3 a.m. to go moose hunting before school.

Yes, she's beautiful, articulate, conservative and as much of a maverick as John McCain. But what lies beneath the flash? It seems like a pretty thin resume.

And does it say much about someone who is pro-life if they carry their baby to term only to abandon it to be taken care of by others? Or will she be flying that baby from campaign stop to campaign stop? What kind of judgement is that?
