More than three weeks ago, Sen. John McCain chose Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska to be the first female vice president nominee for the Republican Party. Since Palin's first public appearance in Dayton, Ohio, when McCain announced Palin as his vice president, the media have since ridiculed Palin.
Regardless of what many see in the tabloids with remarks like "lipstick on a pig," and the focus on her daughter's pregnancy, negative ads are starting to wear thin with some women.
