Women have a major role in this upcoming election. Not only was there a chance for the first woman President, there is a chance for the first woman Vice President. So women have a huge role on who they are going to vote for. The article interviews multiple women, Hilary supporters, asking how they feel about Palin and if it swayed their opinion to vote McCain and Palin. Most of the women said that they were sticking to Obama, while one was definitely turned on by Palin, while the last one said "For me it's more about the person and their stand on certain issues. It's not about the gender."
I don't know if I completely agree with the article. I don't agree with having an woman VP will change a woman's votes. Yeah, it would change if they were just voting on gender and not politics, but, to me, women are more into this election then men are. When talking to my friends, they completely agree with this situation. Picking Palin as VP will increase McCain's chances with women voters. They say her "hockey mother" attitude will bring home the win for McCain and Palin.

I would never switch my vote from Obama to Palin, even thought I was a huge Clinton supporter. Sarah Palin is far more conservative on women's rights then John McCain, it's actually scary.
It is really stupid to vote based on sex, race, religion, etc. I would hope that most people that will be voting in this upcoming election will educate themselves before hitting the polls.
