Two TV shows over the weekend got me thinking about why it is that men are so on Sarah Palin train.
I mean many men would say "I am not voting for a woman" and now will not hesitate for her.
Why?
Well first there was the opening of Saturday Night Live.
It was a skit of her and Hilary at a joint speech talking
(Best line in it had to be "Yeah Sarah, that is the key, I just did not want (the Presidency) enough!"
The contrast that it brought to mind is striking.
Then on THE CHRIS MATTHEWS SHOW, the Sunday one I mean, not Hardball. He was asking why do men support Palin?
So I thought about it and I think I know why.
It is because we see it all in her.
The wife/mom that we all want at our side taking care of our kids.
The smart woman that is successful and can keep up with us.
But also she is still a woman. She has not forgot that part.
She looks like the cute neighbor we all have that when her husband is away and she needs the gutters cleaned your wife wonders why you are so ready to do it for her.
You can see her patting her husbands ass in a playful manner.
She is closer than any woman has bee to being the leader of the free world, yet she is still a woman in out eyes.
I mean Hillary was NEVER sexy.
She was never playful.
She never made 99 percent of men look twice at her even when she was 44.
Palin does.
I always thought that one day we would have a woman in the White House, but I always thought like most people, that we would need to find the "American Thatcher", a woman that had worked her way up, been respected and now was as ready as any man. And a woman from the right wing side of the ilse. A few have begun that climb but never made it that far. New Jersey had a Gov. that I once thought might be on her way there but she tanked.
Palin is something different then we expected, but maybe better.
Heck, I liked the Iron Lady and all but she was not that much a looker.....sorry Margert.
