This boggles the mind:
Campaigning later in the day in Henderson, Palin made a direct play for female voters, particularly those who backed Obama’s primary rival, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
”Barack Obama just couldn’t bring himself to pick a woman who got 18 million votes in the primary,” Palin said.
She told the crowd the situation was a ”too familiar story.”
”The qualifications were there, but for some reason the promotion never comes. There’s always some long explanation … some unseen barrier, some excuse,” Palin told a roaring crowd in the Las Vegas suburb.
Here we have a patently unqualified female candidate lecturing Barack Obama on the need to pick qualified female candidates.
Good thing the AP story adds this:
In March, during a discussion about Clinton and complaints of sexism, the Alaska governor talked about a ”perceived whine” from the candidate and how it didn’t help female candidates.
