Didn't Senator Obama claim he was ordering his campaign to leave the Palins alone and focus only on the issues? Hmmm:
"Democrats understand Sarah Palin is a formidable political force who has upset the Obama victory plan. The latest Washington Post/ABC Poll shows John McCain taking a 12-point lead over Barack Obama among white women, a reversal of Mr. Obama's eight-point lead last month. It's no surprise, then, that Democrats have airdropped a mini-army of 30 lawyers, investigators and opposition researchers into Anchorage, the state capital Juneau and Mrs. Palin's hometown of Wasilla to dig into her record and background. My sources report the first wave arrived in Anchorage less than 24 hours after John McCain selected her on August 29."
Yeah, right, the story of the trooper brother-in-law is one of real, huge national import. Sure.
Don't let Democrats get away with this kind of stuff.
UPDATE: and the above isn't even the half of it.
Check out this summary of the latest Democratic Party anti-Palin tactics:
" Democratic Congressman Russ Carnahan on Tuesday – introducing Joe Biden at a campaign event – ripped into Palin’s record and punctuated it with this snarky jab. “There’s no way you can dress up that record, even with a lot of lipstick,” he said. Later in the day, Obama used a variation of the lipstick line, though he was clearly taking about the McCain-Palin reform rhetoric. "You can put lipstick on a pig," he said. "It's still a pig." Former New York Mayor Ed Koch, as part of his endorsement of Obama, said Palin “scares the hell out of me.” And Obama hit Palin in nearly a dozen different press releases – one day after drawing laughs at a campaign stop by calling her a “moose shooter.”
