As the mother of two daughters, I have great respect for women. And I don't ever want to lose that.

When my mom ran for the Senate, my dad was there for her every step of the way. I can still hear her saying in her beautiful voice, 'Why should women have any less say than men, about the great decisions facing our nation?'

The fact is that Sarah Palin positively emanates strength. She gives off the aura of being a strong woman who doesn't back down, and she does it sporting heels and wearing her family like a badge of honour. I am sure there are a million other women out there who are doing the same thing.

In everything I do, I like to set the idea for girls that they can do anything.

That's important.

I've been so fortunate to work with so many successful women who are moms as well.

What I would like to tell them is that it is not necessarily true that you will short-change one or the other.

I think it's high time that we had a woman president. But I don't want to elect someone just because she's a woman; I want the best candidate to be elected. I think that any woman who is elected to the highest office in the land would clearly have positive role model effects for other young women.

I am not the first woman to multi-task. I am not the first woman to work and have a baby - there are many women who have done this before.
