Nevermind the WSJ’s Peggy Noonan and the NYT’s house conservative David Brooks. Elaine Lafferty, former editor-in-chief of MS Magazine has the goods on Sarah:
"Look, I am obviously personally pro-choice, and I disagree with McCain and Palin on that and a few other issues. But like many other Democrats, including Lynn Rothschild, I’m tired of the Democratic Party taking women for granted. I also happen to believe Sarah Palin supports women’s rights, deeply and passionately."
Looks like others have figured it out, too, as the polls tighten to the margin of error (i.e. a tie) going into the home stretch.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
Dick, wanted to ask you: did you receive any info from your Board of Elections or any other body that deals with election about your local candidates/issues/referendums/etc, other than a presidential election? I have nothing, and the clock is ticking: how am I supposed to acustom myself with candidates to other, local positions?
Possibly, but I don’t remember it. It may have gotten pitched with the rest of the advertising. I usually keep up via the local daily. This year I’m going to keep it simple and vote straight Republican.
