Commentary: Sexist treatment of Palin must end - CNN.com
"This woman is from Alaska for crying out loud. She is strong, she is tough, she is confident. And you claim she is ready to be one heartbeat away from the presidency. If that is the case, then end this chauvinistic treatment of her now. Allow her to show her stuff"
"Allow her to face down those pesky reporters just like
Barack Obama did today, just like
John McCain did today. Just like Joe Biden has done on numerous occasions. Let her have a real news conference with real questions."
