Although Sarah Palin is a woman and a mother, she has not swayed my vote. First, I firmly believe in voting for the presidential candidate and not the VP. Second, she has very little experience and has an ethics committee examining her. I’m not going to outline all of the philosophical differences we have when it comes to government here.
Do I think it’s exciting that we have people representing minority groups running for president and vice-president, OF COURSE! However, we should vote on the issues. Our future is too important not to. And even though both parties will inevitably play the race/gender cards in hopes of garnering more votes, neither minority group wants to be patronized in this manner. As a woman and a mother, I want someone to be elected on merit!
