85 year-old Phyllis Schlafly explains why the kids should be flocking to the GOP
Politics Daily has a telling account of modern US conservatism: you can be one as a woman but you have to expect men to run the joint:
So, I asked Mrs. Schlafly -- you don't really think she's ever called Ms. Schlafly? -- when might this country elect a woman president?
"I don't see it happening because I don't see one coming up the line in either party," she said. Democrat Hillary Clinton lost to Barack Obama because "people don't want to elect a feminist because they are not likeable. You have to be likeable to be elected." She paused a moment before musing that "the best route is probably being a governer," never mind that at this moment, "the pickings among [women] governors are very slim."
Ditto, apparently, among female ex-governors. "Sarah Palin is the total package. She's got a cute husband. She's got a lot of kids."
But is she ready to be president? "I don't think so."
