“Ms. Palin praised the achievement of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, who lost a long and bitter primary race against Senator Obama, saying that she had left “18 million cracks” in the highest glass ceiling in the land.
Then, making an explicit appeal to Ms. Clinton’s disappointed supporters, she said, “It turns out that the women in America aren’t finished yet, and we can shatter that glass ceiling.” (read whole article)
Wait, wait, no, I think I’ve got it…ooh, ooh. Um, it’s, like, a mix of pandering, subterfuge, and, what’s that high note in there? Wait, oh, yes, condescension. The most frightening thing is that there are probably more stubborn and stupid women than I’d like to think who will actually buy all this and love this woman**. I can just hear than thinking, “McCain’s old. He’ll probably die. And then, finally, there’ll be a woman in the White House (who doesn’t share any of my political views but so what because she’s so accomplished and put together)!” 
**Uh, okay, here’s one of those women (click here if you want to see the whole “article” and the hilariously partisan “comments” on both sides):
“I was a strong supporter for Hillary Clinton. But after she was left out of the VP position for the Democratic party I have thought about voting for McCain With the nonination on Gov. Palin I definately am going to vote for McCain now. Any woman who can run a household of five children and a marriage and a governorship of any state deserves our votes. I think it is a stroke of genius. (I just wonder if Obama’s campaign wish they had nominated Hillary now). I hope McCain gets the votes of all those women , who like me, wanted a woman in the White House. Who can juggle a career and a family with an iron fist and still come home and look that good. (Bring home the bacon and fry it in the pan). You go Palin.
(Woman ) Democrate from South Carolina”
