New GOP talking point--Obama as head of the ticket should not be attacking Palin
It's a sign of desperation and dare I say it, anger.

Of course I firmly believe that the Democrats should do exactly the opposite of what the Republican talking heads are saying.

Go get her Barack! Rip that smug smile off the Hockey Mom's face!

3. He should do whatever will motivate his voters. Period.
No matter what he does, the GOP is going to find something wrong with it. So his best bet is to get his base excited and just start mowing these fools down.

4. Well, since the Repubs have essentially promoted her to the top
of the ticket, and hope McLoon...uh...becomes UNAVAILABLE for his duties once elected, it's only natural that Obama takes a swipe at Jesus Barbie.

5. Scraping the bottom of the barrel for that one.
Obama can attack either Palin or McCain. They're both on the ticket. But I suppose it makes perfect sense on whatever planet repugs are from. :eyes:

7. Well, since McCain has bascially been shoved into the backround...
it makes sense that Obama attack Palin.

Hell, reading the news stories, I don't even know if McCain is still around.

8. Actually I Have To Agree On This One
From a strategic point of view, I don't think it is a good idea. On the other hand, I have never managed a presidential campaign, so I will leave it up to the Obama campaign to do what they think is best.

9. Maybe if she treated Barak with "respect and deference"
he'd leave hear alone. Sorry your feelings are being hurt, Sarah, but welcome to the Big Leagues.

McPOW is the one that is kowtowing to her - he should be laughed at as the "who?" candidate!

12. Palin as the "agent of change" must be attacked by our "agent of change"
If Biden attacked her she could just dismiss him, "Well, I know that's the old school washington way of thinking, but up in Alaska we do things a little differently." or some other BS.

13. That's rich. I love it when they tell the Dems how to campaign.
Maybe they should get their own chit together first, like what they're going to do about Palin.

"Leave our crazy VP pick alone!!!!"

14. Palin as the bottom of the ticket shouldn't be attacking Obama
Edited on Tue Sep-09-08 06:46 PM by butlerd
I guess this means that Palin won't be launching any more attacks on Obama directly then?
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!
:sarcasm:

15. Oh, they found Rule 432 of the Make It Up As You Go Along Rulebook

Yeah, um, I seem to have misplaced my copy of that book.

How is this person, who needs an army of protectors with imaginary rules, at all fit to be a leader in this world?
