Is this really the fight you want to pick right now? Wounds are still open and throbbing concerning Hillary. Now you name a seventeen year old female a Hurricane. Sure Sarah Palin is not on the right side of feminist social values but she is a woman. Her daughter is barely a woman and has been thrust into the lime light with no say in the matter. Is that to say that Gov. Palin shouldn't have taken the opportunity to run on the ticket? Heck NO! People have careers and family issues all over this country. Bullying this girl is not going to help your beloved Obama. Demeaning Gov. Palin's experience and only mentioning the small town she was mayor of and not her 2 years as governor is not going to help your 125days of Senate dem candidate. What if Obama lost and Hillary snubbed him and McCain turned around and nominated Michael Steele? Would the media attack him if he had familial issues? NO! Proceed with caution! Dems are supposed to be the "big tent" the party on the right side of "women's rights." But you are so blinded with hatred, those on the blogs and dirty caucus goers, you know who you are, that you are abandoning integrity and a sense of fair play. If Palin is such a poor choice, I would think you'd play the mature upper hand and let this thing play out. The fact is you're scared. And you know what, you should be.
