Palin is anti-abortion, for teaching creationism in schools, and sued the Federal Government because they put polar bears on the "watch" list for being endangered. I imagine that as we learn more about her, the list of issues on which she's far too conservative for many Americans will grow.

I have to agree with you on this issue. I don't know a single woman who will put 'breaking the glass ceiling' above their views on what is best for the country. Putting a woman in the 2nd highest position in this country is not worth sacrificing the future of the country.

I think McCain will gain a large boost in the polls temporarily. After that, people will start looking at the issues again *I hope*
