The DNC held a news conference this morning for the press and it included Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius and Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. They both take on Palin and her speech point by point. And it's an unexpected surprise from the loyal Clinton supporter Wassmerman. Good for her. From Huffington Post

Sebelius:

• On being a "small town" mayor:
  
  
  "I live in the American heartland, and have been a governor for six years," she said. "I don't know any mayor in any small town in Kansas -- and we have a lot of mayors of small towns -- who hires a lobbyist and goes after earmarks the way Sarah Palin did." On Tuesday, the Washington Post reported that, as mayor of Wasilla, Palin secured more than $27 million in federal earmarks for a town with only 6,700 residents.

• On the lack of substance in Palin's speech
  
  
  Sebelius would have none of it. "What I hear from these folks in the heartland, is that people want to know how they're going to afford health care ... whether they're going to keep their jobs (and manage) the cost of gas and groceries," Sebelius said. "Again last night, what we heard were partisan attacks and no real solutions. ... I work with a Republican legislature every day. And I know what people expect us to do ... is to roll up your sleeves and get the job done."
