> This is why Palin and her family freaks out a lot of liberal women SOO badly. She's a stark reminder of their infertility.
Uh, no.
I'm not a woman, but the women I know who are freaked out by Palin (and ALL the women I know are in fact freaked out by Palin, since you brought her up) are freaked out because they feel she's an incompetent, hypocritical buffoon dressed up in $150,000 designer clothes that Republican donors unknowingly bought.
And they hate her policy proposals - the policies they are able to parse out of her almost incomprehensible verbal wanderings.
She had enraged the entire left almost instantly. There was no analysis done, and once she had proven herself a 2nd rate intellect, the rage had turned to joy.
You just described 98% of politicians at the national level. Palin is completely unremarkable. There is clearly a special, visceral reaction to her that has nothing to do with policies.

I'm sure Obama used his own money for the make-up artist before the debates and also paid for the backdrops used for his convention speech. Newsflash: the parties spend money on TV appearances.
Note: I do not like Palin or McCain. I only find the reaction to them intriguing.
You're not thinking as a member of some minority. Imagine if the first black <something> was an incompetent former rapper/football player. It can't be easy to watch, perhaps especially if you think she never had any chance of winning. I'm also sure her policies on abortion have a lot to do with it.
Uh, no.
