How long before Obama/Biden folks go after Palin big time?
I suspect they are at this point holstering their big guns, giving her some time to reveal to all what the rest of us know: she is a dangerously unqualified right wing nut job.

Any thoughts?

4. They have to be careful -- but I think they'll go after her being clueless on Iraq,
McCain's "judgment" in selecting her, her absolute lack of qualifications to lead our country should it come to that.

19. Do you own a TV?
I think not. Either that, or you don't know how to turn it on.

6. They want to attack the top of the ticket. She'll do fine screwing herself over in the debates.

8. Since they did a spot on Biden, I'd like to see a spot with Biden responding
to a question about Iraq, and her answer when questioned about it, which was essentially, huh?

Ditto with Pakistan (if she's ever even been asked). Ditto Iran.

9. And no need to bring up scandals, just her incompetence.
The town (hamlet) where she was mayor was left in debt and having to raise taxes and cut back services due to her bad decisions. Part of her mantra is that she wants to lower taxes, even when the record shows that she raised taxes as mayor.

10. They're smart enough NOT to follow the shiny object Rove is dangling.
They won't bite at the Mooseburger Mom bait. They'll focus where they should - on Obama vs. McCain and not be led into comparisons between Obama and McCain's VP pick.

11. They should and will focus on McCain
McCain exposed his impulsiveness and lack of judgment in nominating her before finding out all the facts about her.


That is the issue here and is the one they will concentrate on. The rest will come out on its own.

12. IGNORE her. It's a farcical distraction ... a cynical JOKE.
Insane.

13. I don't think they will go after her
I think they'll focus on McCain's judgment in making such a capricious choice.

14. They don't have to go after her with the big guns. Even Joe Sixpack
can figure this one out without assistance.

16. They will and should continue focusing on McCain
and hanging George Bush around his neck like an albatross.

17. They don't have to. McCain is the opponent that matters. The rpigs want us to
attack her so they can call us sexist. Ignore her.
