Introducing Governor Palin

Many women supporters of Senator Hillary Clinton felt slighted by the outcome of the democratic primary. Many felt that sexism was interjected into the race and nothing was done to stop its presence. You may be tempted to jump ship and support Senator John McCain because of his surprise vice president selection of Governor Sarah Palin, but before you jump ship, please consider the fact that Governor Palin’s view on the issues are substantially different than Senator Clinton's views.
