Women in Office on Sexism - Standing with Obama

I think that a talk about sexism would be GREAT - but it should be Obama standing with Hillary, Sebelius, Pelosi, and McCaskill, each speaking about the importance of addressing the issue, and identifying the issues that women face today (which do not align with Palin's beliefs) - Women's reproductive rights, EMPHASIZING rape and incest; Equal pay for equal work; emphasis on the female majority in

Hillary vs. Palin

Hillary Clinton needs to make a statement about how Sarah Palin would be bad for the environment, bad for women, bad for foreign policy, bad for the economy, and bad for science. Slam her, Hillary!

Obama needs to make primetime sexism speech

Obama should give a big long speech on sexism and have it heavily televised. he should also make it elegant to get the ame kind of enthusiastic response he got from his "more perfect union" speech he made during the primary season. this could give him more momentum nd energize his supporters as well as bring the focus back on to him.

Major speech on sexism and politics

Just as he did with racism and Wright, Obama needs to deliver a major speech on sexism. Are we sexist when we take on an opponent who is female and treat them as we would a man? Or is it rather a case of being sexist by NOT taking such an opponent on as one would a male, thereby patronizing her?

Thoughts from a woman: Stop worrying about appearing "sexist"

Take Sarah Palin to task. She wanted to play with the big dogs, and because she is so new on the scene, she absolutely should be grilled, criticized and challenged. The Obama camp needs to stop complimenting her and stop focusing just on John McCain out of fear of offending women. Anyone who cries sexism has already made up his or her mind.

Run clips of hypocritical statements made by the republican party

The Daily Show put together a brilliant compilation of clips showing how hypocritical their statements are. http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=184086&title=sarah.... The clips speak for themselves, and are pretty humorous at the same time, so no commentary even needed.

Do not question Palin's dedication to family-- it will only hurt us.

It is a baaaaad idea to ask, "How could Palin be vice-president if she has a newborn and 4 other children to deal with?" This is a no-brainer. This question would not be asked of a man, period. Besides, there are many other amazingly valid and deliciously scandalous reasons why she should not be vice-president.
