Bill Clinton essentially says that it is not our place to begrudge why people vote for a specific candidate and that it is legitimate to vote for Palin because she is a women. I do not mind if someone votes for McCain-Palin so that a women is vice president, and I recognize that if Barack Obama were the first black president that would also be a major achievement in terms of breaking barriers. I do not, however, think identity politics should be the sole reason you vote for a candidate. It is shallow and it means you cannot look beneath the surface. Gender or race should not be more important than the issues and the records of the candidates. If a candidate is black or female but I disagree with them, I am certainly not going to vote for them anyway on that basis.
You have to give credit to Bill Clinton because he was given a chance to join the liberal media and political pinheads to beat up on Sarah Palin and he did not take the bait.
Here is Bill Clinton saying that Hillary is just loving her job as a U.S. Senator. Tell that to the judge. He also says Hillary did "not really" want to be Obama's VP.
