Canberra Times
Some men, who appear otherwise quite normal, seem incapable of looking at the United States vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin without suddenly having their legs turn to spaghetti and their minds to mush. The idea of a moose-hunting, attractive young woman being a heartbeat away from the White House is casting an erotic spell that's seemingly swamping ordinarily rational critical faculties.
Certainly, at first blush, her candidacy seems to have thrown a spanner into Barak Obama's inexorable progress towards 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC. She's rallying the religious vote, as well as bringing innumerable others to John McCain's banner.
But there's a downside to this as well. For every man who gets excited about voting for Palin, there'll be a woman who's not quite as positive. For every born-again Christian who believes abortion should be criminal, there'll be someone else who will now turn out, just to vote her down because they're angry about her views and the way she leads her life. Despite all her freshness and youth, and the surprise that a hunt'n, shoot'n and fish'n mum can also speak smoothly, Palin represents the old politics..........
