That seems to be the new cowardly diversionary tactic and the Obama campaign should call McCain on it HARD! The Republicans are trying to make this into a personal fight between Obama and Palin probably to peel off women voters but also to take the spotlight off McCain's record. They want to paint Obama as a sexist and keep the criticism away from McCain. I think Obama did very well today in his response but they also will need to point out what the McCain camp is trying to do here. Take the focus off McCain by using Palin. They are flat out using Palin! John McCain can't stand up to Obama face to face so he hides behind Palin. Not very manly of John McCain.

I think Obama could easily put an end to this and score some major points by showing people McCain is a coward for hiding behind his running mate.

4. McCain is her Mini-Me and hides behind her skirt. Fortunately, for him, she has a wide stance. n/t

5. This is a classic "Permanent Majority" move
They think they can cry sexism enough, about anything, and peel off enough women into the "new feminist" movement going forward.

Their play is for embittered and/or disaffected mature women to win now and to capture the imaginations of young girls, for future consideration.

We of course cannot allow this to stand and must come together to bring them down, right here and right now.

This is our time.

6. It's because McLame really is a dishonorable little COWARD.
He's hiding behind her skirts and crying sexism at the same time...
Holy shit. These people really are multi-faced hypocrites of the lowest order.
