Governor Sarah Palin gave a toned-down version of her speech in Henderson on Tuesday. She appealed to a softer crowd by speaking about women’s rights and families. The Las Vegas Sun says Palin gave a number of family friendly proposals that is not typical of Republicans.
Palin mentioned equal pay for equal work and noted, “It’s about time we shattered that glass ceiling once and for all.” This softer image could be a result of recent polls about the approval ratings of both McCain and Palin.
The Las Vegas Sun reports 47 respondants with negative attitudes toward Palin, which has been a continuing trend ever since her national interviews with the media. The speech in Henderson reflected more of the original purpose of McCain’s picking her, to reach out to more Indpendent women.
Many women in the crowd were Hilary supoorters earlier in the year and are pleased to have Palin as a VP nominee. Barbara Dimmick, a registered Democrat at the rally, said she wasn’t going to vote at all after Hilary lost in the primaries but “then Sarah jumped in and got my vote ... We need women in politics. It’s long overdue.”
In the last few days Palin needs to continue to impress upon people the message of equality for women to gain more support from the Indpendent women if she hopes to change the pattern in current voting in Nevada.
