It's bad enough when republicans in 08 thought women would confuse Clinton and Palin

and vote for Palin, because they didn't get Clinton.

It's a whole another thing when liberals do it.

Really shows you the underlying misogyny in their positions, that they believe a GOP female candidate would confuse women into voting for the Republican. Or believe that women vote for her without understanding her policy positions.

I understand policy just fine and I picked the candidate whose policies I believed in, whose knowledge (both breadth and depth) I trusted in.

(also, i didn't vote for Obama only because he is black, the fact that he is black was an added bonus)

so their understanding of female politicians and their stances on the issues seems a tad flawed to begin with.

As for Haley, if they really think a governor who signed a 20-week abortion bill is going to be confused with Hillary Clinton, they should probably take a step back and contemplate their biases.
