Did McCaiin lock down the south with Palin? [View All]

[Perky]

My sense is that he need to close the enthusiasm gap with the Fundies in the south, to take Georgia and perhaps NorthCarolina out of battleground status.

If he pulls women in other swing states it might be s samrt and succesful strategy.

the Obama Campaign needs, IMHO, to create a wedge among women voters who might be inclined to vote for Palin on gender grounds.

It could be done on ABortion.... but that would tend to enthuse the fundies.

Experience and Commander in Chief is fertile ground but it is just as likely to bring charges of sexism if not played right

I think there is something to a very subtle surrogate led attack on the challenges of being a parent of a Downs Kid. NOTE THIS IS NOT A GENDER ROLE ISSUE. IT IS ABOUT PARENTAL OBLIGATIONS REGARDING SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS. There are lots of fundies who love their kids and will view this as ambition and abandoment. ANd would be designed to force Palin into a discussion about work-life balance.

There are fracture points with value voters that need to be exposeed and discussed.
