I knew from day 1 that palin was the last thing that would draw former clintonites from the dems. She is absolutely- as these latest attacks prove- a cheerleader for right wing-nuts. Eye candy pure and simple. There's also a "sex sells" angle there, which is the cherry on top of the massive sundae of reasons I will be voting for Obama come election day. Thanks for this great post. You’ve hit the nail on the head. I knew from day 1 that palin was the last thing that would draw former clintonites from the dems.

One of the best things about the Obama campaign for me personally is working with the diverse Obama volunteers: black, white, old, young. We're all working together, and it's been really cool for me personally (a middle-aged white lady). As I've written in some other blogs, I fell like I'm in some corny Coke-a-Cola commercial, with everybody singing, arms entertwined! Corny, sweet and true.
