Has anyone heard from Gloria Steinem regarding Sarah Palin being picked as McCain’s running mate? How about Kim Gandy, the President of the National Organization of Women?

On www.now.org, they tout that they support feminist candidates. Could this be why it doesn’t matter to them that President Bush had more African Americans on his cabinet and more minorities than any other President in history?

How many times have they said that women would never crash through the glass ceiling? Sarah Palin is a conservative Republican, therefore, the feminist movement cannot and will not recognize her contributions to this ticket or even wish her well. The world was ready for a Democratic woman president the media said, but not so when it comes to a Republican vice president.

The center of this issue could be Roe vs Wade. Feminists are afraid that it will be overturned. Even if it was, abortion rights as we know them today would not go away. It would be a state issue, not a federal issue.

Doors have been opened for woman. Not only by Palin, Geraldine Ferraro, Hillary Clinton, Meg Whitman, Mary Kay Ash, Andrea Jung, Cathleen Black, Anne Mulcahy and Brenda Barnes.

Besides the women in politics, these women are executives of companies with names many would recognize.
