"Women, Power and Politics": How Have Women in Politics Changed the U.S. and the World?
For me, Palin's nomination raises a significant question: Is a woman candidate always a women's candidate? How would she fight for women's causes?

Fey actually understands Palin -- well enough to be a dead-wringer for her -- so could actually mount an intelligent, effective attack. Unlike, say, the current Democrats.

You say you're going to be an advocate for special needs children, now that you have one of your own. What does that mean, exactly

Exactly how many Republican administrations do Americans need before they realize they're all the same? Grandiose deficits. Financial compensation to buddies. Attempts to privatize everything except their own colossal business failures.

Most of us have had to settle for Miss Congeniality rather than Miss Alaska in the beauty pageant of life. But just because we can relate to Palin doesn't mean she should be in a position to become president.

A strange hacking incident earlier today tied up another loose end for Gov. Sarah Palin. Overnight, one of Palin's Yahoo e-mail accounts was compromi...

Even "green," one of the most widely used keywords in environmental conversations, has trouble keeping up with the buzz around "Sarah Palin."

My price will quadruple. I'll be selling out arenas from Bangor to Fairbanks with my Sarah impersonation act. They'll even have to build me my own theater in Vegas like Cher.

In honor of the biggest one day market drop since 2001, we're focusing this week mostly -- but not exclusively -- on the economy.

Blogging projects created by established publications that use trained foreign journalists lend a certain credibility to blogging the elections.

A substantial number of women writing in discussed their lives. Many made a point of conveying that they come "from small towns like Palin."

Among the Sarah Palin jibes choking the internet, one notes that she once registered the business name, "Rouge Cou," for Red Neck. Actually, that means Neck Red.

She makes them laugh and lets them think that they'll all head over to Culver's later for frozen custard and ButterBurgers.

While feminists believe in voting for a candidate based on what he or she will do for women, "Sarah Palin feminists" also believe that female voters will flock to Palin merely because she is a woman.

After the Friday surprise that John McCain had chosen Sarah Palin as his running mate, the media reacted with shock and awe. Since then, while some m...

Palin admitted she knows about as much about eye-rack as her running mate knows about the economy.

Two New York women decided to speak out against Sarah Palin by sending an email to their friends asking them to fight back. The email ended up getting sent around the world, and now women from all over the globe have responded on how they view the Alaska governor.

while Obama speaks to "the angels of our better selves," Palin uses sarcasm and anger at "them" -- the "elites" and others who have abandoned "us" and threatened "our" way of life.

McCain's lead is heavily concentrated in the states where women's employment rates are relatively low.

I'm not being hyperbolic here...literally the most anti-choice ticket in history.

We could have a vice president who might well believe that Catholics and non-Third Wave Christians hold false religious views and are controlled by demon powers.
Billy Kimball | Posted 10.11.2008 | Politics
To the frustrated Democrats who have responded to Obama's stationary poll position by wailing for their candidate to quit dancing and fight like a man, now I hope you see where the low road will take you.

Palin would indeed be a heartbeat away from becoming President. But what would a Palin administration really look like?

Here you are at age 25 with what your Mom and I thought was a solid education, and you're but a common community organizer. Let me count the ways we did you wrong.

My email roared out the response of women who wanted their opinions on this election to be heard. "Insulted," was one word they used, and enraged with John McCain's underestimation of them.
