McCain Camp (Carly Fiorina) accuses Obama Camp of being "sexist"

One of GOP presidential candidate John McCain’s high-level surrogates lashed out against their rival campaign’s assessment their candidate had more experience than McCain’s newly-minted vice president, calling their attacks “sexist.”

Since Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin was announced as McCain’s vice president, Obama and other Democrats have levied the charge she is too inexperienced for the slot. At one campaign stop, Obama’s vice president Joe Biden could only offer that “she’s good looking” when attempting to lay out the differences between Palin and himself.

...

“I am appalled by the Obama campaign's attempts to belittle Governor Sarah Palin’s experience,” Republican National Committee Victory Chair Carly Fiorina said a statement released Tuesday. “The facts are that Sarah Palin has made more executive decisions as a Mayor and Governor than Barack Obama has made in his life. Because of Hillary Clinton's historic run for the Presidency and the treatment she received, American women are more highly tuned than ever to recognize and decry sexism in all its forms. They will not tolerate sexist treatment of Governor Palin.”

7. Yes, it is sexist to be higher in the polls and question your opponent's judgement.

I love how the women of a party that doesn't respect them has the audacity to call anything sexist when they submit to a party that doesn't respect women.
