Left-leaning media types fall into a trap when they attack Palin on her lack of experience. All that does is show the left to be hypocrites. Didn't they just reject the experienced Clinton, Biden, and Richardson, and hand their nomination to a community organizer who has spent less than two years in the Senate? Every time a Dem taking head on cable, or a Salon writer, takes a shot at Palin's lack of experience, they call attention to Obama's lack of experience.

Just look at how the Dem-leaning media are frothing. Instead of continuing the story line of their successful convention and Obama's speech last night, the left is on the defensive all day. "She's unqualied!" Ever time the Dems say that they remind everyone of their own number one problem!

And the Dems are so dismissive of Palin. Hypocrites again. They're all for women, except when the woman doesn't tow the party line. Palin is a woman who beat the corrupt Republican machine in Alaska. She's a real person, a mom who got interested in local politics and then went out and kicked the opposition's butt and made a difference. That story resonates like hell this year. How do you think Obama got nominated?? The left underestimates Palin at its own risk.

Palin won't take many female votes from Obama. That's obvious to everyone but the feminist left, which is falling all over itself telling us how insulted they feel and that nobody will fall for it. Of course no Dems are going to fall for it! This is not about the Dems.

What this pick will do is get a lot of Republicans to leave the house to go pull the lever for McCain. Elections aren't won by the candidate with more supporters. Elections are won by the candidate who gets his or her supporters to go out and vote.

McCain's choice of Palin is a brilliant tactical and strategic shot. He's energized his supporters, discombobulated the opposition, and he's taken the initiative.

Every time someone points out Palin's lack of experience, it highlights Obama's lack of experience. If lack of experience is such a bad thing in a VP, isn't it so much worse in a president?

McCain just energized his own base and poked a finger in the eye of the Dems. The day after the Dems coronated Obama, McCain said to the Dems: You want inexperience? Watch this!

He's got everyone's attention. He's got the whole country talking about his candidacy . The day after Obama's speech!

You telling me this isn't brilliant? It's brilliant!

". Al-Qaida terrorists want to harm America, and he's worried someone won't read 'em their rights."' Isn't that perfect? After sucking up to the right by voting for FISA with telecom immunity, Obama still got slammed on civil liberties. He MIGHT AS WELL HAVE STOOD UP FOR SOMETHING. This is why Obama truly is inexperienced and, frankly, dangerous. He caves far too easily -- to Pelosi, to the Clintons, to the right, to just about everybody. And in the end it does him no good.

Glenn Greenwalk handled the interview issue quite well. The Dems keep underestimating Palin. She'll go do some interviews and she'll do fine.

It's telling that a group of feminists could not for the life of them figure out why McCain nominated Palin, except to annoy THEM. But this is not about the feminists! Palin is a gifted natural politician. If they ignored her positions -- that is, if the feminists could put aside for a moment their ideological blinders -- I think they'd see that she's a genuine star. If she was pro-choice, the Dems would love her.

I saw Obama on tv today calling out Palin on her earmarks. I thought that he diminished himself by getting into a sniping match with the VP nominee! What Obama should do is ignore Palin and blast McCain. Then let Biden handle Palin.

By getting into it directly with Palin, Obama shows that he and Palin are at the same level; while McCain sits back and looks like a statesman. That is the trap that Obama and the Dems have fallen into.

The Dems do not see that Palin is a gifted politician, a natural leader, a superstar with deep appeal as everywoman. She resonates deeply with people. It's Obama who's in over his head now. The Dems better wake up before they get hit by a freight train they don't even see coming.

Do you see the Republicans spending any time attacking Joe Biden? He's a plagiarist and a liar -- documented facts -- but the right doesn't spend any time or energy on him.

Obama is running for president. McCain is running for president. Here is yet another Salon fton page story ignoring McCain and going after Palin. The left is falling in to a trap. Palin is not running for president.

This is the exact same mistake the left made in 1968 when they got all bent out of shape by Spiro Agnew. Agnes was elected twice.

Why are the Dems missing this point? Why is Salon running yet another hysterical story on Palin? And giving John McCain another free pass?????

For the past two years, the Democratic congress has continued funding the war, made sure that none of the Bush administration malfeasance will ever be known, and voted against the 4th amendment. The day Obama voted for the FISA bill, did the letter writer and her husband get angry? Or did they just say, well, Saint Obama doesn't think we need a Constitution, I guess he's right.

Wake up people. The Dems are selling you out. And you get angry at the GOP. The Democratic congressional leadership was briefed on the torture. They were briefed on the spying. The Dems are just as evil as the GOP. And you don't see it.
