Tonight!!!

Something a friend of mine posted on a blog recently reminded me of a conversation I had with my mom during this last visit. Specifically, we were wondering why Hillary Clinton is often referred to as a "b*tch" while Sarah Palin is simply referred to as "feisty." To me, they are both motivated people who know what they want and go after it. So, why all of this negativity about Hillary while people treat Palin with kid gloves. Is it because Palin is prettier (she is a beauty queen, after all), not as smart (how many colleges did she attend before getting a degree), was able to have more children including a developmentally disabled one and one that got herself knocked up out of wedlock (if that doesn't elicit sympathy, I don't know what does), etc.? I don't know, but I find the love affair that some have with Palin troubling. Maybe especially because Palin scares me to death despite her cutsie hockey mom claims. I am thankful that some, including those in her own party, are starting to get nervous as well. Political analysis has shown that elections are rarely decided by the vice presidential picks...I wonder if this time will be different. Tonight's debate should be very, very interesting...maybe even amusing considering that Palin avoids answering questions and fakes answers to questions she doesn't know and Biden's potential to "gaffe" on occasion. I know that I will be watching!!!
