Attacks on Palin's lack of education could backfire

[bidenista]

I'm guessing that we're going to see fewer attacks on Obama's experience, and a LOT more about elitism. Be careful with using attacks on how "uneducated" she is when campaigning - that could end up playing into elite attacks.

1. probably nothing we can do to attack her

that has the potential to backfire.

Better to keep attacking McCain. Make her irrelevant.

3. I agree.. because she is

Based on her speech, they are going to avoid the whole experience issue by having her focus on McCain and HIS experience. She'll be the opposite of an attack dog because she can't really go after Obama. She's the "hockey mom" McCain booster who they can always get on the front page. They just keep the focus on McCain/Bush because that's the real ticket they are opposing.

2. Yeah President is such an easy job, no need to have education

especially when you have such a wealth of experience

4. I'm a little tired of the fraidy-cat posts here today.

Oh.. we better not attack her on this, we better not attack her on that. And what exactly has the right wing done in their attacks on Hillary and Obama and Biden???

This is where the hell the Dems always get tripped up. The GOP is the nastiest and we are soo afraid to say a peep for fear of 'backfiring' We expect our presidential contenders and VPs to have an education... for God's sake, she probably thinks the crisis in Georgia is just outside Atlanta!

5. I see your point, but that weakness in combination with her lack of

experience is a really scary scenario if she was to become Pres.

6. What is her education?

Could she be less educated than Dim Son?

7. Oh, yes, everything's gonna backfire...

We're totally powerless!

Everything we do is a potential mistake!!!!
