More Miss California: I oppose bailouts and welfare
More evidence that she is truly one of us. Too bad that beautiful women are never seriously taken in politics (one of the "criticisms" about Gov. Palin was that she won a local beauty pageant when she was young).
On a related note, for gay rights supporters: If you really stand for equal rights and not for just sticking it to social conservatives (which I am a bit of one, although I would like to claim that I justify everything I believe according to libertarian principles), don't use the word "gay marriage". Use words like "union" (as in "civil union" or "government recognition of gay union") or "domestic partnership". You will find that your support will be so overwhelmingly positive that even the most devoted fundamentalist (Christian or Muslim; I don't know what Jews would say) will have hard time opposing you.
People are opposed to changing a familiar word (i.e. "marriage") to fit the whim of some activists. They are not opposed to gay people finding a permanent partner and settling down. God knows the fleeting nature of gay relationship (which was the mainstream gay relationship as long as it existed) was the most devastating aspect of it—and why HIV was more common among sexually active gays than straight people.
You will find that very few oppose some kind of legal recognition of committed gay relationship that doesn't try to hijack the existing recognition of committed straight relationship. Few will oppose you when you stop trying to deceive them by trying to tell them that a gay relationship is exactly identical to a straight relationship. It may be just as precious (I'm not gay, so I wouldn't know; or for that matter, I've never been married so I wouldn't know how precious marriage might be), but it sure is different.
