Is a Conservative Woman Capable of Breaking the Glass Ceiling?

Vice presidential nominee, senator Joe Biden, tossed around the usual political rhetoric when he stated that Sarah Palin would be a step back for women. What is he really saying though? Is she incapable of being a good role model for the women of America because she's pro-life and supports other conservative principles? He didn't strike against her ethics or experience. Biden himself is attacking women by saying they should follow a particular faction and set of beliefs.

Outside the political spectrum, she has the potential to be the first woman to be elected into the second highest position in this country, while becoming a beacon for women everywhere. Yes, she might of been selected as a political ploy, but she can rise above that through strong leadership. Even if you don't agree with her, the fact is that she is a woman running for the seat of vice president of the United States of America. Who is Joe Biden to say who is and isn't correct in their views? This all seems like a carefully laid trap, and Biden got bit.
