South Carolina Democratic chairwoman Carol Fowler sharply attacked Sarah Palin today, saying John McCain had chosen a running mate " whose primary qualification seems to be that she hasn’t had an abortion.”
Palin is an opponent of abortion rights and gave birth to her fifth child, Trig, earlier this year after finding out during her pregnancy that the baby had Down syndrome.
Fowler told my colleague Alex Burns in an interview that the selection of an opponent of abortion rights would not boost McCain among many women.
“Among Democratic women and even among independent women, I don’t think it helped him,” she said.
Told of McCain's boost in the new ABC/Washington Post among white women following the Palin pick, Fowler said: "Just anecdotally, I believe that those white women are Republican women anyway."

Truly they are the gift that keeps giving. I almost have hope now... hope for a loss of seats in the Senate and House as well!
Can we vote someone out of the state?
Another day, another headache for Obama! His campaign is being undermined by his supporters. What a wonderful display of his leadership qualities.
No s...!
God will forgive those who repent, even if they don’t forgive themselves.
Yes, even by not saying anything, the righteous condemn the guilty by example. This is why we’re seeing so much hate for Palin.
The “justifiers” are in so much more torment than others because they are multiplying their sin by encouraging others to do the same, just so they won’t have to admit that it was the wrong “choice”. I even know someone who went so far as to become an abortion dr in order to justify her decision.
Well, isn't crack kinda like a chemical lobotomy?
Stay classy Fowler...stay classy
I was laughing that Shep repeated this story at least four times in ten minutes.
On Greta — how did we know she was a PUMA?
The McCain campaign should call on all democrats to apologize for these comments.
LOL
There was a tinge of sarcasm to my post. But then again you never know with these people.
You are both assuming facts not in evidence.
She looks pretty Guilty to me ;)
Mailbox is full I expect. She’ll probably have to change email addresses and delete her email.
