Read this article from Rolling Stone!!! It's an interesting commentary that has been circulating amongst friends. There is also a piece on McCain that I haven't had a chance to digest yet but from the Palin piece... "Sarah Palin is a symbol of everything that is wrong with the modern United States."
Great writing and I couldn't agree with the author more!
From one of the comments on the RS board:
"Sarah Palin represents the ultimate seduction of women’s vote. It was obvious McCain had no redeeming qualities to incite the female vote. It just proves that the powers that be, will go to any lengths, even to the embarrassment of the Republican party, to protect their kingdom. Our suffragette ancestors are rolling over in their graves while women across this county are being baited like lambs to slaughter. They say history repeats itself, damn if that might be the case with Sarah Palin, a pawn in an insidious patriarchal game of chess. She doesn’t have a clue how she is being used. Intelligent women are affronted by her brainless, boring, egocentric maverick-ing. Most, I contend, are not buying the giddy-up."
God, I hope so... All I have to say is "WAKE-UP PEOPLE..."
I'm the biggest women-first, women-can-do-anything kind of person but sheesh... Give me someone with substance to support that is not a Republican puppet....

I believe that my generation of women was the first to come of age with most of us believing, taking it for granted, assuming that the world would be fair to us and that our future would be glorious.
Of course, that hasn't always been the case, though my life has been blessed with amazing opportunities that my mother and grandmother would not have dreamed of.
But when I realized that I didn't know how my freedom happened I set out on a journey of discovery and I am now strengthened by the inspiration of countless suffragettes.
I realize I stand on their strong shoulders, and on the shoulders of other women who keep pushing for more than voting rights, who demand the full range of human rights for women.
I want to share that inspiration with other women.
Can you even imagine being a woman and NOT being able to vote?
Thanks to the suffragettes, America has women voters and wide range of women candidates, and we are a better country for it!

Absentee ballot? Didn't you register in Washington?
I won't be back from costa rica until the 6th. Third year in a row I'm out of the country on election day!
