Gimmick cannot become the focus of this election. Remember that.
She is a small side issue! And that is how she should be treated.

period.

Please, please, please, lets keep the Gimmmick Threads to a minimum here.
Or else we will blow this election, and it will be our fault!

1. Now tell that to the media - that's who trumpets it over and over.

2. Puh-leeze. If Obama's victory is riding on how many DU posters . . .
Want to open with a Sarah Palin comment, then we've got greater things to worry about.

The number of DU posts on *anything* is a matter of supreme unimportance to anyone but ourselves. While Obama operatives *might* come here to have a look at how the fermentation process is working, I doubt they have any real concern about our electoral impact. Neither do I.

3. Exactly.
If DU threads were a relevant factor in the election, the Democratic party would have already gone down in flames as Obama and Hillary battled to the death. Everything we say or do here has zero relevance outside this board.

The Democrats will focus on McCain and tying him to Bush, while the media will do their own thing. They have short attention spans. If Palin does not appear much, she'll be forgotten.
