There was a time when I would have said that Garry Wills and I agree on nothing. That time is over. More, I am grateful that he can be coherent about this nomination when I can't. In today's New York Times you will find his Op-Ed piece on the nomination. He recalls Thomas Eagleton, who was pilloried by the Republicans simply for seeking psychiatric treatment. He draws parallels between that VP nomination and Palin's. In the last paragraph he says, "Perhaps Governor Palin, ... trying to minimize her own humiliation in coming days, should withdraw before she is nominated and let Senator McCain turn again to one of his more experienced options." Perhaps. I live in hope.

No, it's not sexism.
