Comments on: Branding Jill Biden http://www.thebranddame.com/branding-jill-biden/ Lyn's Irreverent Look at Our Branded World Mon, 14 Dec 2009 12:42:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Lyn Chamberlin http://www.thebranddame.com/branding-jill-biden/comment-page-1/#comment-130 Lyn Chamberlin Sat, 13 Sep 2008 12:24:16 +0000 http://www.thebranddame.com/?p=231#comment-130 Thanks, Mary. This has become even more urgent now as we face an election of personalities over policies. The crucial issues are being lost in in the subterfuge of hockey moms and lipstick, of women being put forward for the symbols they represent rather than for the substance they offer. I agree whole-heartedly.....we must blog until we drown out the noise--for it is just that, and it will bring us all down if we're not vigilant. Thanks, Mary.

It's posts just like this one that will help stop the perceived need to tone down the commendable intelligence of prominent political women with a dose of mom-ness and beauty. Should appearance be at all relevant to a candidate's "brand," including spouse carry-over? No. Why is there no media commenting of Biden's looks, while Palin has endured excessive commenting on her appearance? I don't support Palin politically - in fact, her positions scare me. But, it's her positions alone that matter. There are a whole lot of women blogging now, and I say we echo your call to keep focus on the issues, and who is best suited to solving our national problems. Candidates should be branded only by their positions and plans to solve issues.

The gist of the column was that Ms. Obama spent a great deal of time convincing people what a wonderful mother she is and next to zero time telling us about her own achievements.

Michelle Obama, in case anyone doesn’t already know, is one smart woman.

I don’t know much about the new VP pick, Palin, but one conservative radio talk show host kept saying how gorgeous she was.

It made me sick. I had to change the channel.

How come people have such a hard time with smart women?
