That "Unity" thing didn't seem to take: She wants to run in 2012, and for that, Obama has to lose this year.

[freekitty]

LOL. I know and I wonder what Obama and Booba had to say to each other besides the usual promises.

[Brian S. Fitzgerald]

If he has to lose - then he will be made to lose - by the hand of HRC and friends.

[ken21]

ditto!

is there some identity politics in not wanting to criticize another woman?

[realcleanguy]

“The harshest thing Hillary Clinton could come up with about Sarah Palin at a Sept. 6 campaign event at Wagner College on Staten Island was that there was no evidence at the convention in St. Paul to suggest Republicans would “guarantee equal pay for equal work for women.”

Huh? In the blue collar workforce, the people the “democrats claim” to represent, there isn’t unfair pay. So what is she babbling about again?

The presidential race in 2012: Hillary v. Palin.

[itsthejourney]

I do think that they absolutely in this race have got to make use of the Clintons in every possible way, because they need them.

Hill is loving this.

Supreme Court nomination?

“[McCain chief strategist] Steve Schmidt and company organized speeches that basically totally misrepresented Obama’s record—they were basically lies,” said one former Clinton aide. “They aren’t idiots. They know what his proposals are. But they said, ‘F*ck it, we’re just going to go out there and say he is going to raise taxes and do all this bad sh*t.’ And they got a decent bounce.

Boo Hoo. Truth really upsets these people. Give them more of it.

[Huck]

I’m starting to think she turned down the VP spot.

[Neidermeyer]

“I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a community organizer,” Mrs. Palin said in her fawned-over debut convention speech, “except that you have actual responsibilities.”
*****************************************************
That was an unfair swipe at his high holiness ... everyone knows that community organizers have the difficult task of handing out cigarette cartons to bums on election day and getting them into the polling station conveniently set up in the homeless shelter.

“You know, it’s not just me’

Its always just you, Gorillary.

Except when it comes to being the first woman elected to the White House.

Team Clinton Says Obama Intimidated By Palin Factor

Friendly advice to Obama/Biden,
You can run.
You can hide.
But eventually Sarah Palin will hunt you down and terminate your
campaign.

And you just die (politically) tired!!!

In fact, it's easier to track down Democratic candidates than
grizzly bears, caribou or moose.

The stink-trail left by Demo-RATS is ranker by two or more
orders of magnitude!!!

[ucsd1974]

Now I’m confused. Was “lipstick on a pig” a reference to Sarah or Hillary?

[Lx]

Obama was between a rock and a very hard place. Put Hillary on the ticket and they would most likely win or be close. If he did that however, she would overshadow him and no doubt, he had the desire to avoid a visit to Ft. Marcy park.

Don’t pick her and you lose her voters, don’t even bother to attempt to appear to consider picking her, and not even bothering vetting her? I’m sure she took that as an insult. If Hillary actually helps Obama, you know a big deal has been reached; if Obama is smart; I bet she makes him grovel and beg, too.

If not, she will provide token support.

I still can’t believe he picked Biden, what a loser.

Finally, has the word Gravitas dropped out of the media’s collective brain?

[MuttTheHoople]

“To address Palin, you need a prominent tough woman,” said another former aide. “I can’t think of any others who really work and who could really zing her with a smile on her face and look really good doing it.”

WHAT???? They're not going to bring out the sexy Hot Democrat babes to take on Sarahcuda?????

[CatOwner]

I’m starting to think she turned down the VP spot.

If true, then Hillary better hope that Obama remains close until the end of the election. Otherwise, I could see Obama taking Hillary down with him by stating that he indeed make the offer and she turned it down for her own personal gain. It could get real ugly.

[Rennes Templar]

“And Sarah Palin, you are not Hillary Clinton.”

I hope Sarah will thank him for the compliment.
