It is true that she has attracted the support of some women. However, I think that most of the women who supported Clinton are Democrats who will ultimately decide to vote for Obama. Palin represents a powerful shift away from feminist values. I think that most feminists do not agree with Palin's political views. The women who are excited about Palin are either religiously conservative or fundamentalist plus some independent women who had not decided who to vote for, but were considering Clinton because she is a woman.

In our side of the world. people are are excited about Obama. We feel that it is the first time in the history of America, we get someone who is different! People are hoping that he will stay as he is if he wins, and would not screw us over with his foreign policies... and yes I agree about Sarah Palin. and to bring the conversation to a full circle... it is American women who rooted for Hillary Clinton who are going for her, regardless of her policies ....which is a bit scary. I mean for feminists to vote for a woman just because she is a woman and not because she is a good candidate, or because her policies are accceptable. Ok, I got all excited about the conversation David,

Well, I guess that some women are like that, but I don't think that all are. I think that, in general, women are more likely to cooperate than men when it comes to building communities and making the community better. One woman that I don't want anywhere near the seat of power is Sarah Palin. She is the Vice Presidential running mate of Republican candidate for President John McCain. That woman is very dangerous as far as I am concerned. She is even more of a religious fundamentalist than George Bush. There are some people in America who would like to see a dictatorship of Christian theocracy. It is possible that she is one of them. So, is there news of the U.S. Presidential campaign in England?
