@ossobuco,
Actually, osso, there are plenty women in this country ready to become president. It's very obvious to most who take the time to listen to Palin knows, she's not ready for most jobs that will affect millions of people. Her background, knowledge base, and intelligence just isn't there.
Alaska and Alaskans are a bad example of why she were put into government office. Here again, people just need to learn her background about what she did in these positions, and it becomes readily obvious she shouldn't have held those positions in the first place.
Some people are just plain ignorant of who they vote for.
