Yesterday it was a prediction. Today it’s a reality:
1. You start with a legitimate grievance. (The “What about the kids?” question would not, in fact, have been asked of a man.)
2. You argue that, by extension, any other criticism—about experience, about issues, etc.—must also be sexist. (The sum total of evidence for chauvinism in this op-ed: [1] Sarah Palin is a woman and [2] the word “chauvinism” is in the headline.)
3. You declare the other campaign guilty by association. (To be fair, Fiorina does provide one piece of actual evidence: Joe Biden called Palin “good-looking.” Because it’s not like he would ever comment on his male running mate’s lean, youthful appearance.)
