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

Posted on 09/05/2008 5:32:34 AM PDT by teddyballgame

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.

The Libs said that by nominating Sarah that women wouldn;t just vote for her because she’s a woman, so what do they do? they send out a bunch of women to convince women to listen to them just because they are women.

Sarah’s appeal goes way beyond gender — this tactic will fail miserable. Can;t wait

David Axelrod, the campaign’s chief political strategist, said Mr. Obama would not raise questions about Ms. Palin’s experience. Instead, the campaign would work to impress upon voters the seriousness of the race and continue its attempt to link the McCain-Palin team to President Bush.

Obama has finally learned not to attack her experience because it shows voters just how inexperienced he is. However, when will they learn that people are not buying into their argument that McCain = Bush 3rd term. I don't think people are buying that after Palin's speech!

Obama must be sending his “House Wenches” to attack someone he cannot personally be seen “roughing up”.

I remember before the 1996 election when they floated the rumor Bill and Hillary were “thinking of adopting a child.
Of course this was BS that dropped after Bill was reelected.

Dick Morris discusses this in his book about Hillary “Rewriting History”

Yes, the dog was another ploy to soften their image. Remember when they gave Socks the Cat to the housekeeper after the cat had served his purpose. LOL!

They are going to send Hillary out to support “Sarah bashing”?

Oh.......... that is the wrong move.

Sarah Palin is being “Borked”, she’s being “Hillaried by the Obama team”, she’s being “swift voted”.

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

Gack!! I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask the moderators to ban you for life.

I have a suggestion for Obama- challenge Sarahcuda to a game of b-ball. One on one. Mano-e-mano. Winner take all.

The Obamas have “promised” their kids that win or lose they will FINALLY buy a family dog.

Bet it is another broken Obama promise if they don’t attain the White House.

Let’s face it, Obama is a sissy. He’s a metro-sexual, girly-man. Most men in American now hold a secret crush on Sarah Pailn. I don’t know if it’s the glasses or the bee-hive hairdo or the fact she hunts and fishes.

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

Steve Schmidt must have a former FBI profiler on staff to trap Obundy.

The problem with sending in women....at this point in time...most are comparable to Palin in family life.

Morals is also an issue.
