NEW YORK (CNN) -- Frankly I have had it, and I know a lot of other women out there who are with me on this. I have had enough of the sexist treatment of Sarah Palin. It has to end.

She was in New York on Tuesday meeting with world leaders at the U.N. And what did the McCain campaign do?

They tried to ban reporters from covering those meetings. And they did ban reporters from asking Gov. Palin any questions.

I call upon the McCain campaign to stop treating Sarah Palin like she is a delicate flower who will wilt at any moment.

This woman is from Alaska for crying out loud. She is strong, she is tough, she is confident. And you claim she is ready to be one heartbeat away from the presidency. If that is the case, then end this chauvinistic treatment of her now. Allow her to show her stuff.

1. McCain is not only holding Sarah Palin hostage,

he's holding the entire state of Alaska hostage, and we're sick of it. http://mudflats.wordpress.com/

2. "Torches and Pitchforks" I love it!!! That is a great blog.

4. My fervent hope is that Alaskans,

having inadvertently thrown Sarah onto the national scene by electing her governor, can now show the rest of the country how effectively we can remove her. Like the stereotypical father would say, while punishing his wayward son, "I brought you into this world, I can take you out."

Were it not for Alaska's very wonderful progressive bloggers -- Mudflats, ProgressiveAlaska, Celtic Diva, Shannyn Moore, among many others -- the national media would have taken months to catch up, especially given the way that McCain has tried to shield her from any scrutiny. The nation owes them a huge debt of gratitude, IMO.

5. I agree. They have been ahead of the pack on the barracuda all along.

I enjoy reading them, as well.

3. "Delicate flower". LOL! I would LOVE to believe that was McCain-baiting satire, but sadly,

judging by the reader reaction of Palin supporters, THEY don't think so....
