Old article, but I liked the quotes here.

Topeka — Gov. Kathleen Sebelius on Thursday helped lead the counter-offensive against Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin after the Alaskan governor used her new national standing to blast Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

In a telephone conference call with reporters, Sebelius and other Obama supporters said that Palin doesn’t represent the interests of a majority of Americans, and in her brief public life has acted more like a Washington insider than a reformer.

Sebelius said that Palin, the surprise pick of McCain, “is on the radical fringe of the Republican Party on reproductive issues and privacy issues.” Palin opposes abortion in cases of rape and incest and has opposed government financing of sex education programs.

Sebelius also took Palin to task for when she was mayor of Wasilla, a town of about 6,500 people, for hiring lobbyists to fetch federal tax dollars in the controversial budgetary earmark process. The town obtained 14 earmarks, totaling $27 million between 2000-2003, according to data compiled by Taxpayers for Common Sense.

“I don’t know any mayor in any small town in Kansas who hires a lobbyist and goes after earmarks the way Sarah Palin did,” Sebelius said. “That isn’t a reform strategy. That is an inside Washington strategy,” she said. Palin also supported the controversial $398 million “Bridge to Nowhere” when she ran for governor in 2006, although she has since said that she opposed it.

and we need it fast.

they are saying right now on TV that there is no strategy by the Obama campaign as to how to handle Sarah Barracuda, etc.
