The Spectacle Blog
Today brings yet another ad (the third by my count) in which the
McCain campaign plays the victim card on behalf of Sarah Palin. If
they think she's ready, then put her out there and let her fight
for herself. But the way they're playing this bolsters the critics
who believe Palin was chosen in a cynical ploy to win disgruntled
Hillary voters. This just seems like the most patronizing way to go
after women voters, and assumes that women are dumb and easily
manipulated. Talk about disrespectful. This is just an utter
embarrassment.
