I guess it’s true. obama seems to be kinda worried about this ‘barracuda’ now doesn’t he? I see it like this, he can’t attack a woman so he’s going to hire ‘other’ women to do it for him. THIS I gotta see because Sarah Palin will chew up these women and spit them out…while smiling.
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Barack Obama’s campaign plans to employ high-profile female supporters in an effort to blunt GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s potential to persuade women to vote Republican.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano and Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius all were scheduled to campaign for Obama in the coming weeks. Republicans say they hope Palin, who made her national debut with a feisty speech on Wednesday, could put some female voters in play.
“We respect her. She’s a skilled politician, as she proved last night,” Obama strategist David Axelrod told reporters aboard the campaign plane Thursday. “She’s deft at going on the attack.”
But it’s not clear exactly how Obama and his running mate Joe Biden should respond. They keenly remember how women rallied around one-time Democratic front runner Clinton when they perceived she was a victim of sexism. They don’t want to appear with a weak response, either, and certainly they also don’t want to send independent women flocking to the GOP.
The solution, at least in the short term, will be have top-tier female supporters vouch for Obama to largely female audiences and keep the candidate himself away.
Sebelius started on Thursday, linking Palin to the unpopular President Bush.

For my part the last thing I want to see is a prick whipped Hillary out campaigning for the party that stood back and encouraged the sexist, OH I mean alleged sexist attacks on her by the MSM. Same for his other female puppets.

Too little, too late! That seems to be the theme of the democratic party this year and of the Obama campaign. Senator Clinton and her supporters were demonized, demeaned, and finally dismissed, and tossed to the “curb” during the democratic primaries. The leadership of the democratic party and the Obama campaign now want us back. So sorry but the McCain campaign and the republicans beat you to the “punch”.
However, not to despair, after the Obama/Biden ticket is creamed in Nov., maybe, just maybe we will return in 2012, although the republicans are being very, very nice to us and we sure like Palin!

Hillary’s got to do what is nessasary for a shot at 2012. Sarah is the real deal too.
Wait til you hear what the Alaska National Guard’s General in command has to say about her.
