Did Sarah Palin Start the 2010 GOP Year of the Woman (records Numbers Running)

Contentions takes a interesting look at a Washington Post article and other links on this. See Gender Grievance Crisis: GOP Women Flood Midterm Elections

Now Palin alone is of course not the cause of this but I think her role was significant.

One point not mentioned. There has been a myth that conservatives men would not vote for a woman. I have have always thought this was false. What we saw at her rallies was lot of conservative men. Including a lot of conservative men bringing their daughters to see her as an example. This might have caused some people to shake off the what I have believed is a falsehood.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
