Clinton Vs Palin

It seems Obama is rightfully afraid of Sarah Palin and has dispatched Hillary and two Dem female governors to counter her.

Senator Barack Obama will increasingly lean on prominent Democratic women to undercut Gov. Sarah Palin and Senator John McCain, dispatching Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to Florida on Monday and bolstering his plan to deploy female surrogates to battleground states, Obama advisers said Thursday.

Mrs. Clinton’s campaign event in Florida, her first for Mr. Obama since the Democratic convention, will serve as a counterpoint to the searing attacks and fresh burst of energy that Ms. Palin injected into the race with her convention speech on Wednesday, Obama aides said.

With the McCain-Palin team courting undecided female voters, including some who backed Mrs. Clinton in the Democratic primaries, Obama aides said they were counting on not only Mrs. Clinton but also Democratic female governors to rebut Ms. Palin — and, by extension, Mr. McCain. Those governors include Janet Napolitano of Arizona and Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas.

This will be the first time Hillary has to attack Sarah Palin on the stump. It will be a preview of what will likely be a future battle so it will be interesting to see what Clinton’s arguments are. But here’s the thing, Palin is a vastly better speaker than Hillary, She’s also more likable and believable. Ditto those two governors. They don’t have Sarah’s approval ratings.

It’s funny that Obama spent two years trying to prevent a woman from becoming president only to use her to prevent another woman from being vice-president. All that misogyny from Obama’s camp and they have to hide behind women’s skirts.
