Another Pathetic McCain Ad

By on 9.12.08 @ 9:32AM

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.
