A Brilliant Trap Makes Dems The Male Chauvinists
Oh, this is brilliant. I don't know why I didn't see this sooner. McCain has someone in his camp that's a genius - pure genius:
"She's just a beauty queen. She's another Dan Quayle. And ironically, the biggest criticism of Sarah Palin, John McCain's veep choice, is she has no experience. Funny, coming from the Barack Obama camp."
[snip]
"At this point, Palin is so unknown, there's no way to make a clear judgment about her. But listening to Obama supporters take to the airwaves to shriek with indignation about her lack of experience is just a little too rich. Where were they when Obama, two years into the Senate, announced his candidacy for president?"
[snip]
"On CNN, during a discussion about whether it was appropriate for Palin to accept this job when she has a baby, Dana Bash pointed out it's unlikely anyone would ask this of a male candidate."
"I can't help wondering if this is a trap. The McCain camp watched and learned as Obama supporters offended Hillary supporters by their treatment of her. The McCainiacs had to know that this group is incapable of behaving, that Palin would bring out their worst instincts."
So now, all the Hillary supporters are going to watch the Dems tear into a young, female with questionable experience, which is going to be very difficult. The Dems will be tiptoeing through a minefield from now to November, because if they come off as getting down on women, they'll upset their Hillary base, possibly causing them to switch their votes to the Republicans. And if they attack her for being inexperienced, then they're throwing rocks from glass houses. Oh happy day. Happy day. Brilliant. Brilliant. :)
