Not sure she should have used the "change" word:
"I think that a lot of people were excited to see the Republicans have a woman on their ticket. We had a woman vice presidential candidate in 1984; the Republicans have one this year. I think that is something to be excited about because it is a change. But that's not reason enough to vote for the McCain-Palin ticket," she said, according to a transcript from NY1 News.Maybe. But I'm not sure you'd catch Obama, Biden or McCain wearing a bright red suit either. (And to be fair, we've harped on McCain's $520 Ferragamo 'Pregiato' Moccasins and how he looks like he's gotten awfully elderly recently). And another thing, Todd Palin didn't wear a $300,000 outfit to the convention. Cindy McCain did.
She also spoke of the way women are covered by the press.
"I think you have to ask yourself and it's a little exercise I'd like everybody in the press, and really all of us, to go through: Would the same thing be said about a man in a similar position and the answer 99 times out of 100 is no. I think it's been a long time since anybody covered what Barack Obama, Joe Biden, or John McCain wear or their hairstyle or any other personal characteristic like that."
