Reply #2: I've Come To This Realization

A little belatedly, of course, but better late than never - and hopefully it is not too late.

We are not running against Sarah Palin. We are running against John McCain and the Third Bush Term he will bring. If we run against Palin, we will lose. We can't see it because we are policy driven, but people LIKE her. They think she's like them, so they forgive her mistakes as they would want theirs forgiven. They don't care much about the issues, they assume she is on their side. Of course she isn't like them, but that doesn't matter. When we attack her, they feel more sympathetic towards her. Of course it's unfair, look at the crap thrown Hillary's way, but we question Palin's record or qualifications and we're labeled sexist.

Let her hang herself (figuratively, of course).

We need to attack tie the Republican ticket to the failed Bush policies.
