Karl Rove: beware of the Sarah-cuda!
Wall Street JournalThe threat Mrs. Palin poses is why Mr. Obama's campaign has moved rapidly to disparage her record, and why left-wing bloggers have engaged in nonstop character smears against her and her family. Some in the press have aided and abetted this because they feel left out of the preannouncement vetting process. Poor babies! The danger for Democrats is twofold: in highlighting Mrs. Palin's inexperience, they may focus attention on Mr. Obama's; Sarah's already there: "I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a community organizer, except that you have actual responsibilities." and the harsh attacks levied against Mrs. Palin could completely undermine the Obama promise of a "new politics." In the vice-presidential debate, Democrats must be concerned about Mr. Biden appearing bombastic and condescending -- which is almost a permanent state of mind for the Delaware senator -- while Mrs. Palin comes across as fresh, straight talking, nonpolitical and therefore appealing. I'm imagining Biden covering a classic old Heart song: So this aint the end - I saw you again today I had to turn my face away Smiled like the sun - Kisses for real And tales - it never fails! Our bloggers so low in the weeds I bet you gonna ambush me You'll have me down down down down on my knees Now won't you, Sarah-cuda? Posted by: Mike 2008-09-04 |
