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 pantsuit brigade won’t be able to trump Palin. And I look forward to their failed attempts.

Osama shouldn’t even be wasting his time with Florida. He doesn’t have a prayer there.

Internal polls must be very, very bad.

Hey, Dingy? You want to see “shrill?” Just watch Florida.

Further evidence that the Democrats, and Obama in particular, don't get it.

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

Female liberal democrats like Barbara Boxer do not appeal to the swing voter the way that Palin does. That’s something these idiots on the left never understand.
They will look shrill (yes that’s right), and Sarah will be gracious and confident.

Hillary is perfect. She is exactly the reminder women need to see how the Democrat Party will treat them. Will Obama isn’t concerned with the HIllary voters, and the disrespected Hillary at every turn, now he NEEDS HER HELP.

A new day, a new LOW for Democrats.

Obama “sends a gun to a knife fight” ... LOL!
What a punk hustler he is.

Sarah needs only a hockey stick to knock the puck out of all of them.

Obama has “women” on his Team. Sarah Palin ought to watch out.../s

Let’s draw up a short-list of ‘Bama’s Bar-Hag Brigade: Of course, there’s The Beast. Michelle. Streisand. Ann & Nancy Wilson. Sheryl Crow...

I hope some of them come here. I would attend and make a show of turning my back on them.

All of these ladies are like that whining loser Kathleen Blanco.

The bunch who want respect by virtue of being female instead of the women that earn respect for competence.

The insertion of Sarah Palin throws the entire Clinton game plan off.

Clinton may have hoped for a McCain win, and then run in 2012. But if McCain wins, she'll have to run against incumbent Palin.

OTOH, if Obama wins, she has to run against incumbent Obama.

My opinion, she's going to do all she can to help Obama win, and hope that he does a bad job if he wins.

If there are going to be catfights, I insist that the Dems get some better looking women.

I found a headline last night on FR that was simply... well, typical.

Something about Palin’s speech not making any headway with “women”.

They polled

EMILY’S LIST MEMBERS

to come to their headline conclusion.

What was funny was that even among such hardcore feminazi baby killers, 41% were voting McCain/Palin.

I look forward to the country seeing the contrast between Gov. Palin and the lefty Pelosi types.

Putting it simply, they can't compete. They won't be able to hide their bitchy whiny petty selves when up against a natural, self made woman.

The contrast will be self-evident. The more the Dems trot out these feminist hags, the better Palin looks and sounds.

Eww...

And yet, I can imagine Sarah, when confronted with the spectre of Shrillary, to gush sweetly, "Oh, I've been an admirer of Mrs. Clinton ever since I was a little girl!"
