1. Palin is potentially the first female VP and President in the history of the United States. Yes, I do know
    that Geraldine Ferraro ran in 1984 but she never got elected and doesn't count.

2. Her candidacy spring-boarded on the rejection of the Democrats golden ticket of Obama/Hillary. Had Obama
    taken Hillary as VP, Palin would still be fishing in Alaska.

3. She is everywoman, managing a personal and professional life. Well, it would seem.

4. Sarah 'Barracuda' Palin is aggressive and quick to attack and answer. That scares people.

5. Darn-it she’s pretty; sexy too. That above many other issues is what has some of her female detractors
    nuts. Many women hate attractive competitors in life let alone politics. They know their husbands and men
    in general are warming to the candidate in more ways than one although we...oops, they’ll never admit it.
    I’ll go out on a limb here and even say that she’s ‘hot.’ There, I said it.

6. As a woman Palin takes the bite out of the Democratic message. They can no longer speak for women when
    one is running for office.

7. Her detractors realize that Palin’s personal opinions are irrelevant – abortion, smoking pot and guns are
    non-issues. As with everyone else in America and as a woman, she is entitled to her personal opinion. The
    puritan value measuring stick is outdated and useless.

8. The reality is that Palin’s hard to attack. That’s why Rosie and Oprah are so dismissive of her. Attacking
    her will be seen as attacking a woman just because she is a woman.

9. She’s got more in common with the ordinary Christian working mom that any democratic candidate, no
    Ivy League elitist credentials here. Sarah graduated college in Idaho. A mom for 18 years, a good
    looking, successful tough husband. A pregnant daughter, what could be more perfect?

10. Gosh, as hard as it is to say it, Palin’s got more political experience than Obama and he’s running for president.
    Now that’s a toughie. Sarah has two terms as a council member, two terms as Mayor of Wasilla and has two
    years as Governor of our largest state. That’s got to leave Obama’s team scratching their heads.

    This as Biden turns out to be the Democrat's Dan Quayle.

    I guess one thing Obama has over her is his trip to the Middle East and Europe. At least he’ll have
    the pictures.
