In the history of the world, women have never had a huge role in politics. Not until recently were women even allowed to vote. Now, we have had women all over the world who have become presidents; but oddly enough, not here in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. In this election, things have changed. We had Hillary Clinton, a truly amazing woman run for president. Now, we have Governor Sarah Palin. At first, many Americans were rather skeptical at John McCain's picks of vice president. After all, Governor Palin is a mother of five children, has no real experience with foreign policy what so ever, and was quoted last month What does a vice president do anyway?
But, you know, I find it extremely inspirational that Sarah Palin has taken such a role in politics. After all, she seems like a regular woman; one of us. With an unwed, pregnant, seventeen year old daughter and a five month old baby with Down syndrome; Palin has been able to leave her children and pursue her career for America. Governor Palin makes me, and I'm sure other people, feel like I can be the next vice president of America with only a journalism degree.
Read the rest here.
(p.s., just so everyone is informed, M.J. despises Sarah Palin......)
