Sarah Palin Handles Her Campaign Beeautifully

Milestones mark times in history and boy was this last presidential election a great example. First, the possibility of a female president, then of course there was a black man running. Hillary Clinton had her chance and quite frankly, being the woman that I am, I couldn't see the Clintons filling up the White House walls with more of what they brought a few years back. Don't get me wrong, Clinton was a good president, the world just found out his dirty little secrets. They all have them, he was just caught.

Who could ever forget Sarah Palin in her campaign? She rocked, so admit it. My thoughts of the presidential campaign went from the same oh "boring political mumbo-jumbo" and "oh and there is a black man running (but why?)" to "wow, this woman is real, she's really real". I was amazed.

Upon studying her background, I was happy to learn of the morals she carried and the fact that her family was "a typical American family". They were normal. They didn't try to hide skeletons and pretend to be the perfect little family. I just knew that the entire political circus was over. They would vote Palin (I mean McCain) for president. But before Palin, we had Hillary. Palin was like reviving that hope for a female in office. She would have been like a breath of fresh air.

Where would that have left all of the black woman voters? Now before you jump off on a tangent and take this the wrong way, think about it. This is like a huge milestone for both the black citizens and for women in general. This raises many questions and whether we as a society like it or not, this issue put black women voters on the spot. It also would raise many question in regards to what makes their vote.

There is a strong white woman up against a black man. Do morals play a factor or just skin color? Could it be a black thing (like some say)? When the questions came at me, I let others know right away that morals always play the biggest factor other then spiritual beliefs and if Obama would have been purple (my favorite color), I still wouldn't have voted for him. As a matter of fact, the man is mixed, not just black. The issue with race would have rather been unfocused on, but it was, contrary to the fact that people tried to hide it. That is what brings me to a rather controversial scenerio. Here is an excerpt from an article written by a co-writer.

"The rest of the room were having a hard time because, "They were torn between voting for a woman or having a black man" be the next president. I wanna know what exactly what these women are thinking is going to happen. What exactly do you think will change if you pick Obama because of his color?" ~Michael Grisso

This is a rather good question, but most people would take it the wrong way. He makes a valid point. Would we as women in this society be right to vote according to race, because of race? What does this make us look like as American women? How can we as women be so clueless and simple minded to not look beyond the color of someone's skin?

Then we have Sarah Palin. A white sophisticated soccer mom, who obviously loves her family and is strong with her beliefs. I was ready to jump all over it and I did. I voted for McCain/ Palin. Of course I liked McCain and I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that I wasn't voting for Obama, Palin just made my vote that much more sweeter.

From her witty personality to her fearless demeanor, the woman had what it took in my eyes. The world (well at least America) had so many mixed emotions about it though. You saw her with MK 47's, boots and a bathing suit. Not to mention the spoof funnies that some just couldn't resist. Some took it to the extreme with a porn flick to further add salt to the wound. They just could'nt resist shredding the very tasteful and respectable into something you can pick up on any corner, downtown, Sincity.

What do men think of this tasteless nature? Can we get away with this sort of thing? What's worse is women do it to each other. Just watch a few episodes of WWE or Nailin Paylin (a porn). Hustler magazine has hustled up something and like this writer says, "It definitely isn't starring Tina Fey".

"The movie details a few Russian men and their encounter with... well, no need to get into specifics here. It's one thing to have laughter at the expense of VP candidate Sarah Palin, but it's a whole different story to have, ahem, something else at her expense. Is the "Nailin' Paylin" porn movie spoof about Sarah Palin way over the line, or is it acceptable?" ~Jake Emen

What do you think? This is a woman starring in a porno flick about another woman, in the most vulgar way. Where do women as a society here in America stand? Is this right? Do we care? When a woman can do this to herself, how can she expect anyone (especially a man) to respect her?

Women complain of not being respected, yet they are so out of their own element that they are unable to respect them self. Palin was the perfect example of an American women and how she should carry herself. Definitely a total bee, being all that she is, nothing more and nothing less.

What are we suppose to be in the limelight? We have heard that there is a time and a place for everything, so how much is too much? A real woman can be herself and still hold a professional demeanor, as hard as it may be. To be a true example of a woman, you must first be true to yourself and I saw that in Sarah Palin.

We really needed another respectable woman in the White House. Even better, a female Vice President. Not because she is a woman only, but that is another story. Had she been black, that definitely wouldn't have mattered at all. But because she was not only all that in regards to her leadership role, she was a total bee in how she handled all the media hype and especially having her name smeared in the dirt. Palin is the perfect example of a well rounded woman that woman from all races and all walks of life could look up to.
