Sarah Palin, drafted the women's revenge! To read American newspapers are pretty tough. It is hard to find someone who is really objective. I think the English media of choice is bad, so I try to actually find some new angles. A good newspaper, which I think is the Swiss' Tage Anzeiger. " It can be a little introspective, but have not necessarily always a European view of things. Here, I have done a little free translation of an analysis written by a culture critic named Naomi Wolf: The nomination of Sarah Palin as John McCain's candidate for Vice President, hit like lightning from the clear sky in the U.S.. It is important to understand Palin attraction for a certain group of voters, and we must respect the anger that is found here. Behind Palin attraction is class issue. White arbetarkvinnor has been used in the United States since the nation was formed. When rich white women or people with a first class education - such as Hillary Clinton, Madeleine Albright and Condolezza Rice penetrates the glass ceiling in American society, we see white arbetarkvinnor this ascent with understandable resentment.  Their wealthier peers of the same sex as those employing women to do the dirtier work. Indeed, they must survive on minimum wages stagnated in typical female occupations. Election after election they are ignored by politicians. Even skin color is a factor. White women from working class often perceived coexistence between blacks and whites as hostile. They feel that the black in the class often receive government subsidies and grants, which they themselves will be refused. The more well-paying, low-wage jobs are under threat from a prosperous economy in developing countries. Then turn someone like Sarah Palin up on the big stage and is as a symbolic fantasy of revenge for many of these tired factory workers and secretaries. To a white woman can be a "heartbeat" from becoming U.S. president, seen as a huge success. Almost all women who do not come from privileged circumstances, those who have small children at home and who have long been condemned to silence, they applaud the first woman on the throne! However, declining results from surveys show that U.S. arbetarkvinnor in no way is stupid. The notice is slowly and surely, that Palin is shown up as a model of a MOTOR. The media may take pictures but they may not ask any questions! While ekonimin collapses look to the Palin policy is increasingly threatening the more it takes shape. She is surrounded now by McCain's campaign veterans from the Bush-Cheney clan, such as Karl Rove and his supporters. There are those who write her speech. She also believes that God has established a political career for her, and in terms of foreign policy, she has no more experience than traditional TV viewers. How long live John McCain? In the center is another unspoken problem. Dermatologists confirm that the people in McCain's age, treated by the same type of cancer, has a statistical survival of two to four years. So, an alarmingly long presidency of Palin may also white arbetarkvinnor to feel concern. What we learn when the Palin short-lived bubble? Well, the next time a great leader to be elected, then we should remember not to overlook women's big dreams for change. Their voices deserve sympathy. And if we overlook them, then maybe they put their votes on a substitute, who in eight years of plundering state coffers and sends additional 4000 brave young men and women, or more, into the death of a war, a war built on a lie!
