Sen. Boxer: The only similarity between Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton is that they are both women

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/detail?blogid=14&entry_id=29634

The gloves are off. California Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer just issued this scathing release on Republican John McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate:

"The Vice President is a heartbeat away from becoming President, so to choose someone with not one hour's worth of experience on national issues is a dangerous choice.

"If John McCain thought that choosing Sarah Palin would attract Hillary Clinton voters, he is badly mistaken.

"The only similarity between her and Hillary Clinton is that they are both women. On the issues, they could not be further apart.

"Senator McCain had so many other options if he wanted to put a women on his ticket, such as Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison or Senator Olympia Snowe - they would have been an appropriate choice compared to this dangerous choice.

"In addition, Sarah Palin is under investigation by the Alaska state legislature which makes this more incomprehensible."

11. She was not a speaker, but she spoke for the California delegation.
I agree, I would have liked to see her speak.

24. The only similarities I see
Is that they're both carbon-based life forms.

I take that back. I'm not so sure about Palin...

26. In a debate with Biden, I wonder if she will be asked about the Supreme Court
and the type of Justice she would favor as a nominee if an opening should occur in the next few years. I think her answer would probably turn off 99% of the former Hillary Clinton supporters.

29. Boxer's words are just the beginning....
Palin doesn't compare to Hillary or the Democratic Party. She will feel like a fool for ever mentioning Hillary's 18 million cracks. How dare she!!!!!

31. Right on, Sen. Boxer. Now, Hillary needs to come out and show
the difference between her policies and Palin's. Palin is sure no Hillary Clinton.
