My brother lives in Richmond, Va and is non-politicial but is a Republican supporter.<BR/><BR/>I will do a blog on US08 as I do welcome the selection Sarah Palin but only if she has the political talent not because she is a woman. <BR/><BR/>I did not support Hillary Clinton because she is a 'cold fish' too strongly influenced by Bill and she expected to be elected mainly because of her gender.Cllr Lynne Faulknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03678227299563948672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4100191807181791936.post-87210671047999825242008-09-02T06:37:00.000-07:002008-09-02T06:37:00.000-07:00Lynne, (if I may) why have you not yet written abo...Lynne, (if I may) why have you not yet written about the US elections and the selection of Sarah Palin? You surprise me!<BR/><BR/>Are you not interested in US politics? As from your blog you come across as an extremely well educated and widely read woman, who takes a great deal of interest in the 'bigger picture.' <BR/><BR/>As an avid follower of your blog from the other side of the pond - although I was born in nearby Biddenham, just outside of Bedford - I have lived in NY State since 1993 and find your posts remind me of home - I would be interested to know your thoughts on the US elections, particularly the prospect of a woman being the second most powerful person on the planet. <BR/><BR/>Surely you would welcome the arrival of Palin onto the political scene? Why are Conservative women not backing her more? <BR/><BR/>Elizabeth Cordell, formerly of Biddenham, UK, now of NY State.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
