    the palin trap

    Joan imagine if a man with the same political mindset and Sarah Palin was chosen by McCain, how would the media treat him.

    Instead the McCain campaign has decided to gamble on a rerun of the Clinton / Obama "sex war" knowing that endless discussions of perceived (and planed) sexist insult will distract from real debate.

    while McCain Harps on about his POW experience - Palin will scream sexism

    but neither will offer real reasons why they should run the country.

    don't fall into the Palin trap - she doesn't need your support she courts your distraction.
