Palin Didn't Screw It Up For Women

Anyone who think Sarah Palin ruined politics for women is wrong. There are a number of reasons why in the wake of Palin's resignation women can still prosper.

Let's start with the most obvious, not many people respected Palin as a politician before July 3. After her run as Vice-Presidential candidate last year what little dignity she had went right out the window. During the campaign she was misinformed or under-informed which made her look like an amateur in politics.

And who can forget her "witty" slogan that she and McCain were the Mavericks. I mean really did anyone take the Conservative, Republican seriously when she proclaimed her inner rebel?

With women like Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton in the forefront there was never a time when Palin was looked at as the role model for women in politics. As for Palin running for president in 2010, let's get serious.
