1. We don't have to completely ignore her, just focus on McCain...
And point out that NEITHER of them have a plan to turn our economy around, get us out of Iraq, rebuild our relationships around the globe, etc.

2. No. How about let's ignore YOU.
We already know everything there is to know about McSame. Sarah is another matter - we are only now uncovering her dirty little secrets, and we need to keep doing so.

3. Americans couldn't care less about her "dirty little secrets". They care about her POLICIES...
And I haven't seen much discussion about those lately.

15. Well, that would be because she's working overtime to keep
her views and stances and policies SECRET. I guess you didn't notice that part.

17. "Americans" don't give a damn about "issues", they vote their fears and self-interest.
If Americans actually cared about the issues, we would have had Presidents Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, and Kerry instead of their Republican opponents. "Taking the high road" NEVER wins elections, ask Karl Rove!

16. Well it's better than collaborating with the enemy.
You'll be happy when she slips into the VP office and then McCain croaks.

10. I think we are strong and numerous enough to focus on all of it
Why just limit ourselves to speaking out against McCain? Why completely ignore Palin? We need to get involved in all aspects of the campaign and ignore nothing. I think we're capable of getting involved in local races, and the Presidential race, getting out information on both McCain and Palin.

11. or use her as a segue to issues--''Would having the Jerry Springer Show in the White House
help you keep your house, take your kids to the doctor, or send them to college? Will it help us restore our reputation in the world and the trust of our historical allies, or reinforce the reputation the Bush administration has given us for being ignorant, cruel, thuggish, and hypocritical?''

14. Agreed
McNugget is at the top of the Republican ticket, the campaign is against him. We can bring her down by bringing him down, and attack her by attacking him. Link the two closely enough, then shatter 'em both by showing that neither has any plan for the country.

She's a distraction, and nothing more.

18. I totally agree, this is getting rediculous
She's an easy target for us to concentrate on because she's such a bad pick, but by doing that we're missing the whole fight here, which has to be to continue to staple McSame to George Jr., and rescue the nation from 4 more crippling years of Republican rule.

Palin is a sideshow, and we're all so entranced by it that McSame is starting to skate by without notice.
