Tessa Huffman DNC Post Two

In the article titled Blogtalk: All About Palin I found it interesting how people can be so judgemental. The fact that she is a woman shouldnt be labeled as incapable or not as good for the job as a man. Its shocking that people can accuse her of showing bad character when she lives everyday taking care of her son that was born with downs syndrome. I think she is a wonderful choice for vice president because she is a role model for women. She is very intelligent and has taken on being a mother and having a career. Hillary Clinton was a woman and look at just how many supporters she still has even being out of the running for president. I think a woman should be put in office as vice president at the very least in hopes that the stereotypes of women not being as capable of doing a "man's" job are finally once and for all eliminated. Everyone claims the sexes are equal until an opprotunity comes up for a woman to take over what is typically a job of a man. In my opinion our country needs this, we need a new perspective.

In the article The Sunday Word: Convention Suspension? it shows the concern of the Republician party because of the Hurricane President Bush wont beable to speak on Monday and they are considering holding off the convention to show their support for the tradgic hurricane. I found it really cleaver of McCain to not mention his possible choice of Palin as a running mate because all of the Democratic mud slinging was towards Mitt Romney and other more well known people. After reading this article I honestly feel Sarah Palin was a good choice and the Democrats should watch out because the Republicans will still back the spot light and hold on to it until they are reelected.

Being in US government this year I am forced to watch the DNC. Being republician it was a painful task however I happened to catch Hillary Clintons speech at the beginning of the week. I think it is great how many people are still following her and loyal even though she isnt the democratic canidate. She is well spoken and persuasive which makes me wonder why Obama was choosen in the first place. Regardless I think that Obama's most strategic move to get votes was to have Hillary speak because by himself against a crowd he would fail miserably. After watching the DNC I am excited to see the differences in the Republican Convention.
