Sarah Palin: Courageous or Crazy?

I’m going to make this one short and sweet.  Surely by now, most people know who Sarah Palin is.  If you don’t, browse through wikipedia or Google for a sec and come back.  Sarah is making history and she could very well be the first female vice president in America.  Being that she is the subject of much controversy (what female politician hasn’t been?), I thought she might be a good candidate for the Courageous or Crazy section.

Now here is the challenge.  I’m asking you to put aside your political beliefs and party associations.  Let’s look at what Sarah is doing as an individual and as a woman and vote on that aspect rather than her political views.

Sarah is a mother of five and soon to be grandmother.  Not only is she running for vice president, which in itself is a huge undertaking, she is also under the microscope because she is female.  I don’t think anyone would argue that she is more scrutinized than any of her peers.  The media doesn’t just discuss her opinions and voting records, they talk about her hair, her glasses, her legs and heaven forbid she won a few beauty pageants.   I don’t see anyone reporting about the men’s choice of tie or suit color for any events.

Palin seems to be taking it all in stride, but it looks pretty intense to me.  She’s under a lot of pressure and she’s taking a lot of heat and unnecessary criticism as a woman.  So what do you think?  Is she courageous or crazy for running for vice president?  Would any woman running for such a high office be considered courageous or crazy?  Comments are welcome.

   Go Palin!She’s a brave woman for her type. I’m not brave myself, and I mean look at her. It’s the first time she has done this and she has already managed to get through most of the stress. Sarah might st-st-studder but gets it over with. She is a great role model for all ages…even me!
