I am not saying politically I endorse Palin but the comment "She's not ready to be VP" is sexist in my view.

If she were a male governor from Alaska we'd attack his positions but not about whether he was ready or not.

If you look at Obama, Bush, Clinton, Regan or Carter where people saying they're not read to be VP with such confidence? Its not the attack on Palin I find wrong but just the manner. Its a fair argument but subtely sexist.
