McCain’s team hits hard, pulls back, and moves on to the next point. Barry is playing defense today and that’s good. This isn’t going to become the major theme of the campaign.
Call this sexist, but it’s a reality of life. Real men don’t let other men verbally abuse women you care about. If McCain doesn’t respond to direct Palin smears from Barry, women are going to think McCain does not back her. Men are going to wonder what kind of man McCain is.
Sarah can laugh off the insults. McCain can not. That’s just how life is.
Exactly. Keep him on defense. Make this election about whether or not you want that jerk in the Oval Office. The more he has to explain something stupid he said the better.
