Republican women leaders stoutly defend Palin

ST PAUL, Minnesota (AFP) – Republican women leaders Wednesday leapt to the defense of under fire vice-presidential pick Sarah Palin, saying she had been the victim of unfair and sexist attacks.

They charged that Palin, a 44-year-old mother of five named as Senator John McCain's wildcard running mate, faced the same dilemma as ex-first lady Hillary Clinton in her failed bid to become Democratic presidential candidate.

"I have been told by many, many Democrats over the last several months how disappointed they were in their own party for not standing up against the sexist smears that Hillary Clinton endured," said Carly Fiorina, former boss of computer-making giant Hewlett-Packard.

"The Republican party will not stand by while Sarah Palin is subjected to sexist attacks ... and as women, I think all of us are sensitized and outraged when we see sexist treatment," she told a press conference on the sidelines of the Republican convention in St Paul, Minnesota.

But according to a new poll released Wednesday, women voters remain unswayed by the Republicans' choice of devout Christian Palin for vice president.

Fifty-two percent of voters polled for the women's activist group Emily's List said they would vote for the Democrat ticket of Barack Obama and his VP choice Joseph Biden, against 41 for the Republicans.

So supporting Hillary but not the highly UNqualified Palin is now sexist?!

And the repugs are now feminist champions?!
