I would suggest you Google "women's conservative groups"!

Are you then suggesting what they are seeking is not women's rights but the accomodation of women in a male world?
Phyliss Schafly, Mona Charen, Laura Ingraham, Peggy Noonan, Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter...the list goes on and on....I wouldn't doubt that most of the support of these women is male but surely they have some female following? Without women's rights there voices would still be suppressed,-

NOW statement:

"The sexualization of girls and women in the media is reaching new lows these days -- it is exploitative and has a negative effect on how all women and girls are perceived and how they view themselves," the group writes on its website, pointing to Letterman's jokes as an example.

Do you ever do any homework before posting? It's common knowledge that certain groups cons *presume* to be left wing supporters (the ACLU, for instance) have also come out in support of people across the political spectrum. NOW does not discriminate against women. If they seem to be more aligned with the left it's because cons are so often in the wrong and @ssbackwards.

Those women largely represent conservative women (at least the right swingin' kind). But you got skewed with the NOW response. Considering the list I put above none of them have ever received support from NOW that I know of...Michelle and Ann are simply victims of this liberal world. Really now, haven't they suffered enough? The rest are just tough women. Like the leaders of NOW they are battle hardened and inflexible. And they don't cling to men out of need (although Ingraham is a good lapdog for O'Reilly on occasion).

It was a bad joke and Sarah weaseled the necessary publicity and public indignation out of it. It was a first test for her media team and you would have to call it a win in her favor. But she will be exposed again if she keeps venturing out. This is not a woman capable of, or requiring of, substance. But these types of candidates often stumble out of the gate (remember Rudy?). What I saw on the campaign trail was not a candidate ready to lead anything. Expectations often overwhelm. A VP candidate can run from the press. A presidential candidate will have no such luxury.
Alaska is tiny in regard to population and has continuous revenues provided by its native oil. Sarah is currently at 54% approval as governor. Down nearly 30 points from last year, prior to the national campaign. We are a long way from '12. Because of Limbaugh, Cheney, and her other neocon supporters (they know she will make a perfect dupe) she won't be forgotten. This was free publicity and to someone like Sarah, a perfect situation. Reasonable people would say she went too far in her response but that's not to whom Sarah is appealing. -
