S.C. Dem chair: Palin primary qualification is she hasn't had an abortion

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."

That's his wife: "Don Fowler, former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Wednesday endorsed U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York for president in 2008. Fowler is the husband of Carol Fowler, chairwoman of the S.C. Democratic Party." http://thestatecom.typepad.com/ygatoday/2007/12/don-fowler-endo.html

Call the SC Democratic Party to let them know what douche bags they are 800-841-1817

I'll bet Carol Fowler and a douche bag are two entities that have never met. But if they did, the best advice would be for her to use it in her mouth.

Shepard Smith is all over this—but I don’t think he’s happy about it!

This woman, Carol Fowler is married to the notorious Gustav-loving, laughing on the plane DNC guy Don Fowler.

This is from December 2007 at http://thestatecom.typepad.com/ygatoday/2007/12/don-fowler-endo.html

Don Fowler Endorses Clinton

Don Fowler, former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Wednesday endorsed U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York for president in 2008.
Fowler is the husband of Carol Fowler, chairwoman of the S.C. Democratic Party.
“It is imperative that America elect a Democrat in 2008,” Fowler said. Fowler said Clinton understands the U.S. government better than anyone else in the race and the challenges facing the middle class after seven years of the Bush Administration.
Don Fowler was national party chairman under President Bill Clinton from 1995 to 1997 and is a close friend of the Clintons.
Carol Fowler was elected S.C. state chairwoman in April.
Don Fowler remains a member of the Democratic National Committee and a superdelegate to the party’s convention in Denver in August 2008.
Hillary Clinton is in a dogfight with U.S. Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois and former U.S. Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina for the Democratic nomination nationally and in South Carolina.
A victory in the S.C. Democratic primary, set for Jan. 26, could be critical among the early voting states.

Me thinks these Fowlers love attention. Someone should ask Mrs Fowler about Hurricane Ike that’s currently in the Gulf. Maybe her husband is laughing about that too!

Time for Obama to throw Carol Fowler under the bus. “This is not the Carol Fowler I know”. Whew. It’s getting pretty crowded under that bus.

“I read on a website that her husband is Don Fowler.”

Her husband is the smirky guy who laughed about hurricane Gustav maybe hitting New Orleans and said it showed God was on the side of democrats?

What a joyous duo these two must be.

my (probably useless) opinion - Dems in total disarray - the media is starting to turn just a bit - now is the time to hit them hard.

OK—Donald Fowler was the guy who was rejoicing over the advent of Gustav. Saying “God is on our side” or something.
