The Obama camp strategy is coming into play
and I like it

"A core Democratic talking point against Sarah Palin is beginning to take shape: she is, critics say, the female counterpart of the current President of the United States, not only in terms of policy and social conservatism, but even personality.

"She's not a bulldog in lipstick," said one female Democratic operative, referencing a line from Palin's convention speech. "She's George Bush in lipstick"

10. The strategy has always been Bush - McCain
Sarah Palin is proof of it and that talking point will drive it home.

I don't know what you're still doing here.

18. Gee, you're full of sunshine, aren't you? It's part of a strategy to align the GOP ticket w/ Bush.

2. It's a VERY good play.
Palin relies on that bullshit folksy persona the same way Bush does.

16. Oooohh, I likeee.
It has that ring of truth. A charismatic politician with no substance and radical ideologies being built by her handlers so they can control her later. Plus it is creepy to think about GW wearing lipstick, I don't know why.

27. The campaign MUST put a grownup in charge...
We can beat this Obama vs. Sarah drum until it is worn out, and in the end will we have convinced every voter that Obama is a better candidate than Palin, but with no criticism of McCain, he must be better than either.

I don't care to hear Sarah's name again until she is back in Alaska facing charges November 5.

I want to hear Obama vs. McCain.

Obama vs. McCain
Obama vs. McCain
Obama vs. McCain
Obama vs. McCain
Obama vs. McCain
Obama vs. McCain
Obama vs. McCain
Obama vs. McCain

Anything else plays right into the trap.
