Clinton to be attack dog on Palin?
 Advertisements [?]sexism still exists. mccain's choice of palin makes it a tightwalk when biden attacks/debates palin

there's risk in both extremes between 'taking it easy on the little lady' or a 'full speed ahead' attack

expectations on how well Palin will do during the campaign season are low, if she comes across with even a sliver of perception that she understands the issues (i.e. able to memorize and recite the talking points) - she will get favorable marks

with this in mind, a full speed ahead attack by Biden will result in whining that he's being too hard on her. remember Edwards and obama were charged with being too hard on clinton during the primary debates. the risk here is allowing mccain's campaign to portray palin as a victim.

now, mccain's choice of palin as VP is obviously a political bid for the pumas, and independent women who are upset by clinton failing to win the nomination and are upset that obama didn't tap clinton as VP.

ahead of the VP debate - do you think Clinton should take the attack dog lead on Palin?

No, DU, I think Hillary should stick to being just a plain dog.


DUmmies, try to get this:

     (a) Hillary is not running in this campaign. Her efforts have been half-hearted, at best. She's more interested in laying waste to her Democrat rivals than a Republican one.

     (b) Sarah Palin is a candidate for Vice President. To address the screechings of a defeated Senator is now BENEATH HER. Hillary needs to go polish the buttons on her pantsuits, have the fat from her ankles moved to the creases on her face, and read her old love letters from Vince Foster, whom her husband had killed.

     (c) EVen if she did attack, do you realize how low and vindictive that would look? Can't be relevant on the Dem ticket, so you go yapping after someone on the other ticket?


     In the pantheon of political thinkers and strategists, you guys are pretty much the chubby guy who waits for all the adults to leave the room so you can load up on the leftovers from lunch.

The hate for Palin is palpable over there.

If this is a "wrong choice" then they should be rejoicing.

Fear.

You can smell it.

Palin is Hillary's best chance to be the democrat nominee in 2012.

Why would Hillary tear apart her best chance for sinking the candidacy of the empty-suit that trumped her only because the Edwards scandal didn't break 6 months earlier?

Accurate assessments of The Beast's situation. She is not looking for ways to keep Palin from being Vice President. She is looking for weaknesses to exploit in a monumental 2012 catfight for the presidency.
