You underestimate the intelligence of American women. I would love to see a woman president, but not just any woman, and certainly not one as stupid and uncouth as Palin. She is the stereotype of why some people have been saying for years a woman would not be a good president. She would prove the misogynists to be correct. Maybe she dazzles you Foofie , but all the women I know find her to be an embarrassment. And I can't imagine any article she writes for RedBook, Good Housekeeping, or Oprah is going to change anyone's mind.
How have you determined that I underestimate the intelligence of American women? There is a bellcurve. Some are to the left, and some are to the right. Why claim I think women all are on the left side? I know that could not be true.
And why use words like "dazzle"? Did I say she dazzles me? I appreciate her values. That has nothing to do with IQ, regardless of what her IQ is, or is not.
In my opinion, perhaps, there are American women that do not appreciate her values, and would rather denigrate her intelligence, rather that debate values, which is a very personal thing?
I am not an Evangelical Christian, but I respect and admire their values. I would like to see their values to be re-established as part of the American mores. One does not have to be a rocket scientist, so to speak , to know which values are good for one's country, in my opinion.
