Sarah Palin and breaking the glass ceiling

The debate continues as to whether or not Sarah Palin's vice president nomination is based on merit or ploy. Based on experience, the nom is niether quality or quanity, unless you consider the possible outcome if woman across America fall for it.

Let's hope not. Let's hope these seemingly wayward women are voting because they believe in the platform and not the gender sharing.

"Hillary left 18 million cracks in the highest, hardest glass ceiling in America. But it turns out the women of America aren't finished yet, and we can shatter that glass ceiling once and for all," Palin said.

What does being a woman have to do with it? As the Daily Show joked, "Vote vagina!" I think not.

Palin has served as Governor of Alaska since late 2006. Less than two years of experience as governor, she made history because she is a woman.

The real question is not whether America is ready for a black president or a woman vice president it's whether or not America is capable of voting for a candidate based on the obvious stereotypes.
