Our strategy should be to remove Palin from the equation

[ck4829]

This is a repeat of 2000. The media didn't tell us that Bush had a criminal record, they didn't tell us he was a failure as a businessman, they didn't tell us that he made Texas #1 in terms of pollution and executions, and they didn't tell us that he was chummy with ultra-conservative leaders.

In 2008, do you really think the media is going to tell us that Palin is a corrupt and psychotic right wing Christian fundamentalist? If you think yes, then you need your head examined.

But we can do something else, and that is remind America that this race is between Obama and McCain, not between Obama and McCain/Palin.

It should be made like Palin doesn't even exist.

Cut out mentions of her in stories unless they exclusively mention her.
Rate down stories of her on places like Yahoo.
Continue to have the focus on McCain.

Just remember these two words...

Palin, who?

1. I don't know I think there are some potential lines of attack on Palin

For one thing her lack of experience. Republicans are probably going to continue harping on Obama as inexperienced, and Palin is a good contrast to that. The other is her similarity to Bush - she is a lot more like Bush than even McCain is - I think underlining that would be good.

The problem with just ignoring her is, I believe, that the media won't and the republican base/Conservative commentators love her.

2. Putting her back in her place as second string is the action that needs to transpire.

Obama didn't address her all that much.. and yet, all the Dem and Liberal and Cons/ repigs and MSM pushed her to the front of the equation... Palin who is the right way to go.. Everyone knows anything they need to know about that awful selection.. Let her fame die back down and send her back to small town America that she loves so much so she can continue breeding "her type of people" away from the rest of us normal Americans.

3. Nope. Without Palin, McCain loses. She's the draw. We need to take her down.

Fortunately, McCain keeps making it easy to go after both of them at the same time. (His attacks on a Montana earmark to study bear DNA while Palin sought and received earmarks to study seal DNA and the mating habits of crabs).

...but we need to keep hitting Palin hard. She's the danger, not McCain.

4. Fu*k Palin. The economy is scaring the hell out of everyone.

The Wall Street Republicans are not going to entrust her with this clusterfu*k.
