11. I'm not an Obama campaign insider, nor a 527 organizer.
Obama's history shows that he won't go there unless necessary. He's plays nice until he has to play hardball.

2. That would be in the domain of 527's, not the Obama campaign itself.
I'd like to see that video clip in an ad, though.

7.  If this were not such a serious issue
I would agree. But I see it as a very serious issue and that the American Public should be informed. If someone is running as a Public Figure then her past affair and her Religious foundations are of public importance. I do not think the Obama Campaign should address this though by ads but someone should make the point public that her beliefs which she is totally faithful to, would exempt free choice from the Country and the World, if there is any chance that she is hurtling toward Armageddon in her mind. This then becomes front and center a National Security issue. No Country will deal with us in a civil manner.

5. Gutter politics, yuch! Obama has risen above this nonsense. Let McCain-Palin
wallow in the mud.

We have real problems in our country...because we've had inept leadership for the past 7.5 years. "You simply can't put lipstick on a pig."

Obama doesn't have to demean himself and get dirty. Facts speak for themselves.

10. Because they know it could backfire on them
If we bring up Palin's witch doctor, the only thing they have to do to totally fuck us is to call him a Christian.

As we know, a LOT of assorted swindlers and hucksters call themselves Christians, such as Pat Robertson and Todd Bentley. The second they call this witch doctor a Christian, too many people will call any criticism of him persecution.

If we're going to attack anything from Palin's personal life, let's focus on the fact she's married to a secessionist.

13. It doesn't fit his strategy
It's much better to let it be viral, percolating in the background making Palin wear it like an odor that the public can't quite figure out the source.
