McPOW Wants Palin to be Used as a Punching Bag. Make Sure Attacks Stick to mcPOW.
It is obvious that mcPOW wants the media and the Dems to attack Palin and forget about him at the top of the ticket. She is out there to keep the fundies in line and take the blows from everyone else. She ends up making mcPOW look better, or more moderate.

We can oblige him by attacking her, but make sure that the attacks hit them both. That is why hitting her on tabloid soap opera issues will not be effective.

When attacking her, frame it towards mcPOW. He has made the most radical, fundamentalist RW extremist ticket in recent history. The ticket, not Palin is an extremist ticket. The ticket wants to overturn Roe vs. Wade and take away a woman's right to choose even under the most horrific circumstances. The extremist ticket thinks the war in Iraq is "God's Work" and wants to expand US wars to include Iran and others. The ticket doesn't believe in Global Warming. The ticket is against Equal Pay and Universal Health Care. The ticket is for Capital Punishment and Drilling in ANWR.

This is an Extremist Ticket. They do not represent America, not by a long shot. Hit the punching bag, but make it stick to mcPOW.

1. Exactly. Palin is a lightning rod to protect McChicken
He was getting hammered before she came on the scene
and we need to redouble our efforts where they belong... at the top of the ticket.

4. He was in horrible shape, and now he hides behind her.
It is hard to even find an article about HIM. If he appears it is in relation to his pick who outshines him. He is the focus.

2. Plus its easier to attack McCain than it is Palin
I like to remind Republicans that try to bait me with Palin that Obama is running for Prsident, and based off their rhetoric, apparently Palin is. So, I ask, where is Johnny?

5. She doesn't mind at all. They won't even appear seperate.
He is using her, she is using him. A parasitic ticket of two extremists.

8.  Why waste time with the punching bag when you're in the fucking ring with the heavyweight?
Punching bags are for warm ups, not the main event.

9. Well said.
I think she should be ignored, except to paint mcPOW as part of a radical fringe ticket.
