Injest is correct that this is the strategy, it couldn't be more obvious.
Trick Hillary's supporters into voting for a guy who opposed equal pay for women for equal work. However aside from the people trotted out on "news" programs (who never voted for a Democrat before anyway so one arguably at least questions their sincerity, at worst they are Rovian plants) Hillary's supporters aren't dumb enough to vote against every single issue she fights for. McCain called the Iraq Veterans who wanted to make his voting record on Veterans bills known "static" to be ignored. The real static we should ignore is the idea that Republicans will bring a positive change to Washington. It's like the deregulation they sought for multinational corporations whose only interest in the U.S. was draining it's wealth, "Let the oil companies run the dept. of energy" "Let the mortgage industry regulate itself." How do you think that's working out?
"Let Republicans regulate themselves" Yeah that'll work.
No one is going after Palin because she is a woman. That's utter nonsense. McCain's argument that Obama may not have enough experience has been tauted for 6 months at least in his :ads", we have heard that argument made many times here on threads as well. It was McCain's most legitimate sounding argument, even though time and time again Obama was right on every issue and McCain was wrong.
He HAS experience being wrong, His choice of VP null and voids his only reason not to vote for Obama. Surely you see that.
Most Obama supporters think he has enough Washington experience to understand how it all works but not enough to be corrupt beyond redemption. He displays intelligence and reasoning well above the politicians in recent memory. These qualities will serve America quite well. As I said Palin is a smokebomb, and has served the purpose well,
to obscure and obfuscate the real issues in the nations dialog. The GOP is quite clever at "political maneuvering" and selling a product in a Machiavellian way. This has worked quite well for them. I think enough people see through the slogans and talking points not to fall for it any more.
