If Palin were a male candidate?? (Congress, salary, campaign, democrat)

[SarahSal]

This Miami Herald article asks the question - if Palin were a male candidate how would she be treated?
Would he/she be *protected* from the big bad media - and how would that play? Would he/she be handled with kid gloves during campaigning and the debates? Come on folks, she's running for the second highest office in the land! She needs to stand on her own two feet and prove she can do the job - or NOT.

"Likewise, the same right-wing gasbags who've trashed Hillary Clinton for 16 years have morphed into sensitive souls when it comes to their own hockey-mom candidate. Each unsettling news revelation about Palin is automatically decried as a sexist smear.

If Palin were a male candidate, Democrat or Republican, she'd be taking heat for ducking reporters when the election is only five weeks away. Yet, except for a few grumps, the media have reluctantly accepted the Sarah snub as the new order of things.

In the big debate it will be interesting to see if the rules are followed, or broken.

If Palin were a male candidate, for example, she would again be asked (as Charles Gibson did) why she took credit for killing Alaska's notorious Bridge to Nowhere, when in fact she supported the $223 million boondoggle until Congress turned against it.

If Palin were a male candidate, she might also be encouraged to discuss why she chose a high-school pal to head Alaska's Division of Agriculture at a $95,000 salary. Among her flimsy qualifications, the woman, a former real-estate agent, claimed an affection of cows."

{...And lots more...}

Maybe Biden needs to take the gloves off!
