Peaceful Revolution: What Women Wish Gwen Ifill Could Have Asked
I work with eleven statewide coalitions representing a million people, all fighting for policies that value families at work. Here are some questions we wish Gwen Ifill had been allowed to ask.
Why So Soft, Gwen?
Sarah Palin is out of control. This was the one opportunity for us to really see it, and with stronger moderation and Joe Biden going for the jugular we could have seen her go down.

The economy is about more than just Wall Street bailouts. It's about how we're going to pay for escalating childcare, how we can pull together healthcare coverage for our kids.
Signs of Growing Friction Between McCain and Palin
Palin is in the driver's seat and plans to stay there. Her take-no-prisoners nasty streak and extreme right wing views have found kindred spirits now that she's fully staffed up with veterans of Bush.
Sarah Palin and the New White Ebonics
Were she black, Sarah Palin's performance would have been skewered by the right as undignified and demeaning to the office she seeks.

I prefer a folksy Palin to an Obama who voted a million for a museum for woodstock and the money could have gone to health care for children and pregnant mothers. If you want the same o same o
dont check up on obamas and bidens voting records and McCains. Obama and Mccain are both
giving half truths. Mccain health care plan would pay up to 5,000 for your insurance company. To
the Company and nothing is said about charging taxes on it. I have been doing my homework and
now I will watch the 2 debates left and then I will decide who I will vote for. Do I think Palin could run this country. Probably she could after all since congress and the senate have overide abilities I am sure she couldn't screw up anymore then our Senate and Congress have been doing for years. Iur
Forefathers were very intelligent and they put a lot of interesting things in the constitution to make sure
that our country isn't in the hands of just one person. Maybe we should also check out our congressmen and senators to see how they are voting on bills also. Then you too could make an educated quess on how to vote. But of course if you vote because this is the way my family has voted
for years. You just don't care but at least you vote.
The one happy thought I have about this is that the Joe Sixpack group whom Palin is obviously courting will be so hung over and stupid on election day that they won't get to the polls. They might not know it's election day, they might not be able to find the polls and the directions on the voting machines might be too hard for them. Yea, let's hear it for stupidity. Do they even have polling places in Dogpatch?
LOL!!! You are so right. and she said "nucular"
like Mr. Bush, not nuclear.
Sarah Palin is a detestable example of American womanhood. This is what the feminist revolution produced? Arrogant, maniacally ambitious females with hearts of ice? When she was asked to be vp she "didn't blink." No hesitation. No questioning of her own abilities and experience. Zero. Put her unwed pregnant teenage daughter on a stage, hand her special needs infant to that same daughter, and leave the family heavy lifting to her husband. Did she ask her husband? Did he have any say at all? I consider myself a supporter of women's rights. But I'm also a supporter of human rights.
Palin doesn't even know the meaning of achilles heel! When Ifles asked both candidates what their achilles heel had been in the past, Palin enthusiastically sounded off on her many accomplishments. Now, that's a gaffe that most people missed.
When Palin and McCain talk about "country" they are, like, referring to putting on her fake country folk accent, like how she is goin' to be "shakin' and fixin' the economy" (yep, this is an actual quote, folks).
