Republican Party secret weapon-Sarah Palin
Voters in 12 states held primary elections Tuesday night and who
knew? Who knew that former Alaska Governor and Senator John McCain 2008 Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin would energize women voters to pick women?! Forget about the tea baggers uproar, it is this woman with children wearing sexy clothes and upswept hair had the ear of soccer moms and the eyes of dirty old men who ogled the bespectacled Sarah.
Women from California to Nevada, Arkansas to South Carolina battled male contenders and won a bid to run for governor or senate seats.
From ABCNEWS website: "Nevada Republicans picked Tea Party favorite Sharron Angle to try to unseat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid . In California, voters chose two former executives and multimillionaires, Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina, as GOP candidates for governor and senate.
Arkansas Democratic Sen. Blanche Lincoln survived a party runoff to face what is expected to be a fierce Republican challenge to her seat this fall. And, in South Carolina, GOP state Rep. Nikki Haley weathered allegations of marital affairs and an ethnic slur to emerge as her party's leadingcandidate for governor."
Who knew? Back in 1992, dubbed the Year of the Woman, four Democrat women took Senate seats, Patty Murray of Washington, Carol Moseley Braun of Illinois, and Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer. Women issues pushed aside traditional voting, although Anita Hill was the catalyst. Hill was unsuccessful in preventing Clarence Thomas from being confirmed as a candidate for the United States Supreme Court with sexual harassment allegations. The women voters wanted the good old boys in Washington, D.C. to take women issues a little more serious when appointing a judge (who happens to be an African-American)to the highest court in the land with an addiction to porn movies.
So how is it that pro-lifer Palin is the shot caller for women in 2010? Not long ago, Katie Couric proved so sweetly that Palin is not that political astute. And is this the same mother, who allowed her teenage daughter to sleep in the same with a male teenager? That would be Bristol Palin, who gave birth to a child without marriage giving abstinence speeches. Palin daughter is an expert on abstinence for teens. This woman was to represent women as the vice-president of the United States, until President Barack Obama won.
It's not Sarah, it's President Obama that has voters in an uproar. Anybody who understands that America is angry that President Barack Obama, an African-American is President. Just go back in your mind to 1992. Clarence Thomas sent these women to the polls in droves. Thomas confirmation to the United States Supreme Court, did not sit well with women. These folks did not care that he was loved by their Republican President George Bush, JR. !! These voters only cared that he was an African-American male.
So if it not about Sarah, than it must be about an African-American holding the President seat in the White House that is driving this Republican year of the Women. How else can you explain a woman spending $70 million dollars to be Governor of California? Who knew that raced white women voted their interest? Who knew President Obama would usher in the Year of the Republican women?
Sarah Palin.
