Does Palin Vs. Clinton Matter?

I wonder why everyone is comparing Sara Palin to Hilary Clinton? Maybe it's because we just need someone to compare her to. I mean, Hilary's name will not be found on any one's ticket come this November 4th. So why are we doing it? Why are we comparing this these two women?

Well, I believe the answer is rather simple. Sen. Clinton won over voters across the country. She was able to go farther than any woman has gone before in terms of a presidential election. And then, out of no where, also known as Alaska, here comes Gov. Palin with a realistic possibility of stealing Hilary's thunder and making history.

So it appears that many Americans are wondering would Sara Palin have been strong enough to wage the war for female presidential candidates? Well, I think the vast majority of the voting public has decided that she would not have had what it would have taken during the primaries to create a name for herself. It's kind of like how Jessie Jackson didn't have what it took to be considered seriously for the first black presidential nominee years ago.

One poll found that women would vote for Sen. Clinton 2-to-1 over Gov. Palin were the 2012 election to be held today. The poll finds that women across the country are more inclined to trust Sen. Clinton over Palin. Why? Is it because Palin has been cited and found guilty in the Troopergate investigation. I think it's more than just that. The American voters want someone who is tested and trusted. Sara Palin just has not proved her self. Although, I am sure she can walk a mile in high heels. She wouldn't last 20 minutes in Sen. Clinton's flats.
