Hillary backers come to defense of Palin

The leaders of a women's political organization that launched earlier this year to support Hillary Clinton are speaking out against what they say are examples of media sexism toward Sarah Palin and urging members to tell the press corps "to back off."

 
WomenCount, a group co-founded by top Hillary fundraiser Susie Tompkins Buell, posted a lengthy item on their blog decrying questions over whether Palin can, as a mother of five, juggle her family responsibilities and still be vice president.

"The very notion that Sarah Palin should not have accepted this nomination because she is a mother with demanding challenges underscores just how far we have to go," wrote Rosemary Camposano, the group's communications director.

She added: "It will be good for America to watch Sarah Palin on the campaign trail – bouncing from parenting to politics. That’s how most women function – multi-tasking, leaning on friends and family, and waking up each morning and doing it all again."

The group notes, however, that they do not approve of Palin's politics.  "We cannot pretend that Governor Palin meets any standard of progressive politics or social values," Camposano writes.

Unlike other feminist organizations which have taken up against Palin because of her conservative views, however, WomenCount says they'll "work to stamp out sexism when we see it on the campaign trail."

men will never learn will they? It is my belief that the sole reason Barack did not put Hillary on as VP was Michelle. He is going to pay for that big time. Biden can't do a thing about wimmens!   :-)

I still remember laughing when I heard he picked Biden, I thought then that we had a damn good chance to pull this off.  Now with Palin I think BHO has almost no chance.

I had read somewhere that O said he would look to his wife for advise. Now look where this bold move got him. I consider Michelle Obama a loud mouthed racist. JMOO. It is all over the net that his wife hated Hillary so badly that she told him not to pick her as VP. Exactly what qualifies MO to give advice to anyone?

Being Mrs Messiah would lead anyone to think they can enact good policy.

The kept cutting to shots of Michelle when Hillary was giving her speech at the Dems convention. Hillary should be stone cold dead!

I used to think it was Obama's choice but after hearing this on Rush today I have to agree with you:

Why didn't Obama choose Hillary? The most credible explanation came from veteran columnist Robert Novak May 10, who reports that Michelle Obama vetoed Hillary's candidacy. "The Democratic front-runner's wife did not comment on other rival candidates for the party's nomination, but she has been sniping at Clinton since last summer. According to Obama sources, those public utterances do not reveal the extent of her hostility," Novak wrote. If that is true, then Obama succumbed to the character weakness I described in a February 26 profile of (Obama's women reveal his secret). His peculiar dependency on an assertive and often rancorous spouse, I argued, made him vulnerable, and predicted that Obama "will destroy himself before he destroys the country".
I knew he was a Socialist/Communist from the git-go but I had no idea he was such a wimp!
And you ladies knew all along didn't you?  :-) H5's!

He will throw her under the bus soon enough - Seriously though, who cares ? If Hillary were Obama's second fiddle, I don't think we would be as well off as we are now. And with Hillary stumping for Obama while ignoring Sarah, Its clear to me she has willfully chosen to blunt her sword while keeping her credentials as a Democrat. Nice move Hillary :)
