There are plenty of wacko male politicians too. I think the fact that one of them was President for two terms reset the switch on that and a new kind of male figure is needed now.
The Sara Palin, Michelle Bachman phenomenon is just a natural extension of the anti-intellectual, faux-egalitarian political ideal of the Right. No nonsense, house-wife/hockey mom, homespun wisdom. None of your airy-fairy, Ivory Tower, college-brainwashed, liberal elitism. Just good old fashioned common sense from God fearing, feisty, but still sexy moms.
