Haley has been seen as a new Republican star for many years and many political observers believed she would be right at the top of the VP short-list in 2012. But that's never going to happen. Why? One reason -- Sarah Palin.

Palin's almost gleeful proclamation that she's just an everyday hockey mom and that experience is what we need in a VP, slams all the progress that women elected officials have been making for years.

It is up to the media to point out that the attacks on Gwen Ifill are sheer political gamesmanship. Treating them as if they has any legitimacy is unacceptable.

Even if I weren't a girl, I'd be recommending that the smartest choice is that Obama's running mate be a woman. My three picks are Hillary Clinton, Janet Napolitano, and Olympia Snowe.
