Note: Hillary supporters are not going to fall for this panderingly idiotic
choice. Palin is against EVERYTHING Hillary has worked her life to achieve
for women. While this nomination feels like a poke in the eye (or heart), a
Hillary supporter who'd now vote for McCain would be stabbing Hillary in the
back along with every other woman. j.

DeGette: GOP made insulting
assumption about women
By STEVEN K. PAULSON Associated Press Writer
Article Last Updated:Â 08/29/2008 03:59:23 PM MDT
DENVER‹Colorado congresswoman Diana DeGette said Friday that John McCain's
choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate is an insult because
it signals that he thinks putting a woman on the ticket means "women would
suddenly vote for him."
The Democratic representative from Denver also said Palin, a first-term
governor and former small-town mayor, doesn't have the experience to replace
McCain, who turned 72 on Friday.
"We need to remember that the vice president is a heartbeat away from the
presidency. It's especially poignant today on Sen. McCain's 72nd birthday,"
DeGette said.
"I think it is an insult to women that the McCain campaign would think that
simply because he picked a woman as his running mate that women would
suddenly vote for him," said DeGette, who had endorsed Hillary Rodham
Clinton for president.
Colorado Republican Party Chairman Dick Wadhams said it was DeGette who was
committing the insult.
"What's the insult is that Diana DeGette still serves in office," Wadhams
said.
"Diana DeGette and her ilk don't have anything in common with a successful
governor of Alaska who has fought hard to control government spending and to
develop oil resources," he said.
Republican Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, the other woman in Colorado's
congressional delegation, said Palin was a good choice.
"The thing I admire most about Sarah Palin is that she is a tough,
conservative woman," Musgrave said. "She was willing to take on the corrupt
establishment. She's a reformer. I admire her."
Musgrave said called Palin "an accomplished woman with executive experience"
who is a Washington outsider.
"I am delighted with John McCain's choice and I think it's going to inspire
women around this country to think about a woman being able to be governor
of the great state of Alaska and do the things that she has done already in
her young life," she said.
Democratic Sen. Ken Salazar was more tepid than DeGette, saying he doesn't
know much about Palin.
"I have never heard of her. It is, in my view, still about what this
election is all about, that we can't have four more years of George Bush,"
Salazar said. "His selection of someone we've never heard of from Alaska I
don't think will change a thing for this election."
Salazar also questioned whether Palin has the experience she needs but said
the Democratic vice presidential candidate, Delaware Sen. Joe Biden, does.
"Joe Biden could step into the presidency if something were to happen to
Barack Obama," he said.
