As a Barbarian, and as a feminist, and as a woman, I am appalled by Candidate Califano’s campaign strategy.  Much like the outcry surrounding Sarah Palin, I would be personally ashamed to have a woman in office who got there by questionable means.  Califano and Palin at first glance could not seem to be more different, but the roots of both of their campaigns grow from the same soil of deceit.  They both objectify themselves by letting their stereotypical gender roles supersede their ideas on the campaign trail.  While it may appear to be all fun and games, Califano’s campaign is a huge step backwards for not just women, but Barbarians everywhere who value equality in the office.  I have no idea what she truly stands for in her campaign other than an unhealthy standard of obsession with fitness, and American Apparel gear.

Thank you for your support Concerned Citizen.  I have to agree with you on every point you make.  It’s plainly obvious that Candidate Califano is grasping at straws with her current campaign strategy, and that it isn’t winning her any votes.  Though I do respect her dedication to fitness and I think her fitness goals are important for us all.  The difference between us is that I see the bigger picture, whereas Ms. Califano has targeted one issue.

I hope she is prepared for the road ahead, and I am excited for the challenge.
