What's the point? I actually find a number of women in politics attractive but that has nothing to do with ability, I think it's overly simplistic to think women hate Sarah because of her looks...hopefully they don't hate her at all but see through her act to appear remotely qualified to be President. I admit that I partake in laughing at many of her soundbites, but not because I feel compelled to hate her...actually, I respect her for voicing her opinions, I just think she lacks the background and common sense for the office. I am uncomfortable when threads such as this turn to mocking and reliance on perceptions of beauty to determine someone's worth....I apologize if I've come off that way and will stick to issues in the future.
