NYT: Obama to dispatch female surrogates (sends women to do his fighting)
MSNBC/NY TIMES ^ | 9/5/2008 | PATRICK HEALY and JEFF ZELENY

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Senator Barack Obama will increasingly lean on prominent Democratic women to undercut Gov. Sarah Palin and Senator John McCain , dispatching Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to Florida on Monday and creating a rapid-response team to deploy female surrogates to battleground states, Obama advisers said on Thursday.

Mrs. Clinton’s campaign event in Florida, her first for Mr. Obama since the Democratic convention last month, will include a forceful response to the searing attacks and fresh burst of energy that Ms. Palin injected into the race with her convention speech on Wednesday night, Obama aides said.

“I’m placing 4-1 odds that Hillary actually appears wearing a dress or skirt at some point in the next week”

Oooh. Cankles. Not much time to grow her hair though.
Do you think she’ll start another rumor about adopting a child? Perhaps a Downs syndrome AIDs orphan from Africa?

I insist that the Dems get some better looking women.

not much of a "bench" there.

I saw that. If woman want to continue to related to the 20th century image presented by the likes of Hill, Peggy Noonan and other Beltway woman, they can stay stuck. The women of the 21st century are ready for the Palin model.

She’s just doing this to get him to keep his promise of helping her pay off her campaign debt,.
Florida isn’t going to for Obama this election, and that’s why Hillary probably agreed to go there and “help” him.

I'll be very surprised if Hillary does much of any real attacking of Palin. Believe it or not, I think she smarter than that.

Sarah p’s them off just by BEING who she is.

She doesn’t have to say a thing.

Simply the way she lives her life condemns the behaviors and beliefs of the left.

Their reaction verifies CS Lewis’ assertion that everyone has the same sense of right and wrong, just some people suppress theirs. And they still have a conscience that tells them that they are wrong, and the example they see is right.

Iron-clad proof that the DNC is scared sh•tless over Palin... and that the DBM is nothing but an Obama, special-ops strike force.

Just like with everything else,

leftists have no proclaimed set of standards,

so it’s impossible for them to be hypocrites.

Sending Hillary to do his hatchet work is probably not too smart, considering what she and Slick really think about him.

Remember when Bill Clinton was in all of his Monica trouble as President and they got Buddy the dog. Then mysteriously about two months after Clinton leaves office, Buddy gets killed..... Arkancide. No, this baby would be better off somewhere else.

Janet Napolitano of Arizona and Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas.

Well, well, well. So, he thinks that sending Hillary, who along with Bill, hates this man so badly, they are working behind the scenes to insure he loses, will help him? It will only remind the Hillary devotees of their pain. And to top it off he sends two unknown Govs; one dyke and one feminazi?

Whassup? Are Rosie O'Donnell and Whoopi Goldberg too busy to jump in and help out? Where's Oprah? Off having a "religious encounter of the 5th Dimension"? And, what about Michelle, the counterpart to Aunt Esther on "Sanford and Son"?

Oh yeah; this man has plenty of surrogate "ladies" with whom the American woman can identify with. Uh huh.

(Sends women to do his fighting)

This is a BRILLIANT line and must be repeated everywhere, as often as possible.

Obama sends women to do his fighting for him, because he’s too afraid of Palin.

But he says he can hold his own with Putin, Chavez, and Ahmadinejad.

And yesterday he called a press conference to cry to the press that the mean lady in glasses was picking on him.

So far he’s fallen headfirst into every trap McCain has laid for him.

I am one happy camper these days.

Ooo, wait a sec! Here’s an even better line:

OBAMA WON’T PUT A WOMAN ON HIS TICKET, BUT HE USES WOMEN TO DO HIS FIGHTING FOR HIM.

Spread the word.

Hillary’s husband has special needs.
