The Sarah Palin Facebook group has reached over 40,000 supporters. I’ve been occasionally stopping by to read some on the things they are saying. For the most part, it’s just a bunch of uninformed voters who can only offer up prayers and assurances that God is on her side. Oh, and a whole lot of CAPS AND EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!!!!!!1 Here is a choice selection:

“When you stand up for what is right it doesn’t matter what people say about you. We are praying for you Sarah and standing with you and your family.”
– Kathi, Nashville, TN

“IM PRAYING SO HARD FOR THE PALINS & FOR THIS COUNTRY!”
– Allison

“I’ve been smiling since the announcement on friday. I know President Reagan is looking down from above smiling. along with my grandfather who’s standing right next to him. God bless the troops and the U.S.A.”
– Scott, Philadelphia, PA

“She just seems so REAL! I’m praying for her and her family during this onslaught from the press. I love her quote: “Do you know the difference between a pit bull and a hockey mom? Lipstick.”
– Linda, Pittsburgh, PA

“Can’t wait to see great things from you! What a great team…lets go all the way! God Bless You and your family…from ours to yours!”
– Vickie, Columbus, OH

“i have never been more excited and r energized about the Republican Party before!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“I am glad I am not alone! The liberal media is driving me nuts! I love this ticket!”
– Ann, Phoenix, AZ

May God Bless you, Governor Palin. Continue to fight and protect our country from the inside, while our servicemembers do so on the out side of our country. IF Y’ALL DON’T WIN….WE’RE IN DEEP TROUBLE…..GOOD LUCK..WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU…..”
– Shane, St. Paul, MN

“I LOVE SARAH! She is awesome! Can’t wait to see her as VP of the USA!”
– Katie, Kingsport, TN

“you are such an inspiration to me!!! I appreciate all the hard work that you have done and the GREAT difference that you have made and are making for the future.”
– Jenny, East Tennessee State University

“Sarah, glad to have you running with McCain. Maybe in 2012 you can run for presidency. I have heard tons of good news on xm Fox news about you. Enjoy your day andj God bless!”
– Shelly

“I think it’s so hilarious how liberal feminist women are so against Sarah Palin, even though she embodies exactly what they peach, like independence, shattering the glass ceiling, etc. Apparently, since she didn’t CHOOSE to have an abortion and is not a liberal woman, she’s not qualified. I guess if Hilary Clinton had 5 kids and was on her party’s ticket that would be the bravest thing they had ever seen. As a woman who considers herself an Independent, I find their hypocrisy extremely insulting! I put my support fully behind a REAL woman, Sarah Palin!”
– Leslie, Charlotte, NC:

What sticks out in some of these posts are the clamoring women who support Sarah Palin because she’s “real,” whatever that means, and because she’s a woman. Some, like the following post, even went as far as to deal in absolutes:

“ITS ABOUT TIME A WOMEN MADE IT TO THE WHITEHOUSE!!! ANY WOMEN VOTING AGAINST SARA PALIN IS A TRADER TO WOMEN EVERYWHEREW!!!
– Shelly, Nebraska

It would appear that the sexism card is already being played by female Sarah Palin supporters.
