Sarah Palin's a Brainiac - The Daily Beast

  • Those who know her, love her or hate her, offer no such criticism. They know what I know, and I learned it from spending just a little time traveling on the cramped campaign plane this week: Sarah Palin is very smart.

Wonder Land - WSJ.com

  • You say Sarah Palin doesn't have enough "experience" to run Washington? Washington is barely fit to be run.
  • Barack Obama wants to dig a deeper hole. John McCain should ask the American people if they want this to go on, because it's nonsense to vote for government to do "more" and then whine when it doesn't work or degrades into sweetheart-deal hell.

Red-State Feminism by Kay S. Hymowitz, City Journal 8 September 2008

  • But the crucial point here is that Palin never wanted to be part of Steinem’s club, and in that respect she speaks for many of her sex. The large majority of women—surveys have put the number at somewhere around 75 percent—shy away from calling themselves feminists, even while supporting some movement goals like equal pay. The primary reason for their coyness: feminism’s ambivalence at best, and hostility at worst, toward motherhood and marriage. The refuseniks may or may not remember that Betty Friedan described full-time motherhood as a “waste of human self” and home as a “comfortable concentration camp.” They may or may not be able to quote Steinem on fish and bicycles. But on some level they understand that the framework of establishment feminism has motherhood, and often marriage, as the menacing 300-pound security guard whom men have hired to stand in the way of women’s achievement.
  • But central to Palin’s red-state appeal is her earthy embrace of motherhood. She differs from mainstream feminists in that her sexuality and fecundity are not in tension with her achievement and power. If anything, they rise out of them. Instead of holding her back, her five children embody her energy, competence, authority, and optimism.

  • “I hear all this talk about how the Republicans are going to work in dealing with parents who have both the joy, because there's joy to it as well, the joy and the difficulty of raising a child who has a developmental disability, who were born with a birth defect.
  • “I hear all this talk about how the Republicans are going to work in dealing with parents who have both the joy, because there's joy to it as well, the joy and the difficulty of raising a child who has a developmental disability, who were born with a birth defect. Well guess what folks? If you care about it, why don't you support stem cell research?”

Op-Ed Columnist - A Heartbeat Away - Op-Ed - NYTimes.com

  • It’s not just that many in the media don’t like her politics and don’t identify with her socially or culturally. They’re offended that McCain picked Palin without, so to speak, consulting them.
  • Should voters be alarmed by a relatively young or inexperienced vice-presidential candidate? No.

Why Sarah Palin Is McCain's Camaro - Advertising Age - News

  • NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- Donny Deutsch told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" that "women want to be her and men want to mate with her," while Harvard's John Quelch said she's the red Chevy Camaro to John McCain's Ford F-150.
  • Bottom line: "Like any marketing campaign, the logic of the alliance and partnership will only be as good as the quality of its execution. Ultimately, the real decision will be about the McCain brand and how he is perceived. He is the primary brand by far in this combination."
