This is proving to be a timely and relevant conference. With Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska now the conservative Vice Presidential nominee, voters are more interested in how a woman would lead a very large organization.

Charmaine will be speaking from her experience as senior advisor to Mike Huckabee during his presidential campaign. She will also review the challenges as president and CEO of a public interest law firm.

Like Sarah Palin, Alert Readers know that Charmaine has five, count ’em, five children.

Feminists hate Sarah Palin. And don’t care much for Charmaine either…

Feminists are not happy with any successful woman who has made it to the top, without government intervention.

Charlie Rangel, Democrat from New York has even called Palin, “disabled.”

Charmaine will be on FOX today at 2:30pm est discussing Women’s Issues.
