There's No Need To Even Attack Palin. Just Ignore Her
No one knows who she is. She does absolutely nothing for the McCain ticket. Women only support substantive women for political office, not gimmicks, and attacking her only makes her look sympathetic.

The Obama campaign has hit the right note on this. Congratulate her and her historic nomination, and then just bundle her and McCain and Bush into one big package of more of the same.

In the debates, all Biden needs to do is attack Bush's foreign policy and tie McCain into that record of failure. Of course, if she even shows up, the media will say that she exceeded expectations, and thus won the debate.

But we cannot get all caught up into what the media story line will be. They've been wrong all throughout this election. A year ago, the media told us that it was going to be Rudy vs. Hillary.

1. Amen - Biden's job, and ours, is to present the facts and go after McCain's record. nt

4. But it's fun.
Seriously. I'm having a good time attacking her. It's not like I'm going to influence anyone other than maybe someone here.


:rofl:

5. Like playing defense has worked before.
They will not stop the attacks on Biden and Micheal or Obama ether.
And the right wingers are trying to tie Obama to Ayers and the weather underground.
If yo just allow them to hit below the belt and not respond in kind you will wind up on the canvas with your balls in your hand.
Now it would be different if we had a referee in this fight to take off points for fouls, but the MSM is out of the ring.

6. Exactly. The lack of response to the Swift Boaters...
gave them an air of respectability.

Rip this woman limb from limb -- using legitimate facts, of course -- and don't stop until she withdraws to spend more time with her family.
