We all know there’s been a lot of talk in recent days about Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. If there is a celebrity in this race, it is Palin and not Obama. But she poses a serious challenge to the Democratic ticket and her radical views on everything from climate change to abortion are chilling. Despite—or perhaps because of—her extreme views Palin’s presence is having its desired effect. Witness McCain’s bounce in the polls since the convention.

So how should Obama/Biden respond to Sarah Palin? What about the rest of us? We are joined by Mimi Abramowitz, a professor at Hunter College School of Social Work, Amy Richards co-author of Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism, and the Future, Gloria Feldt author of The War on Choice: The Right-Wing Attack on Women's Rights and How to Fight Back, and Liza Sabater, publisher and blogger at culturekitchen.com. And by phone Anne Kilkenny, long time resident of Wasilla, Alaska.

We'll be streaming live at 12.00 (noon) Eastern time.
