I think the dems view the Palin attacks as being a win-win in two ways..
people who don’t pay much attention will believe all the BS about Palin,
and secondly the McCain camp will have to spend a lot of the bounce money they got after McCain announced Palin as his running mate on television ads to counter all the nasty stuff being aired about Palin.

Yes, that is their calculation. But in this case they have just come off of a primary where a large part of their constituency feels slighted because another female candidate received this kind of treatment. I wonder, how do you think the women of this country are reacting to this? Hell, even Susan Estrich was fairly outraged on Fox last night. If the McCain campaign does the right thing and weathers this storm, I am betting on a very big backlash.

You might have that right, but they also get the conservative base riled up with righteous anger. A lot of money, votes and energy come from that.

Nah. It won’t work that way.

A tsunami of a backlash is building today against Obama and his campaign and their leftist MSM supporters.

After 100,000,000 watch Sarah’s speech tonight, it’ll be the Obama campaign that has to spend millions on useless ads.
