Obama Camp Goes After Palin Right Out of the Blocks

It really looks like they are running scared with this choice and just threw a quick attack together after Googling Palin's name:

Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency. Governor Palin shares John McCain's commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush's failed economic policies -- that's not the change we need, it's just more of the same."

I wonder if it is actually a good idea to insult small town America like that by saying that their leaders can't be President one day. They also kind of glossed over the fact that she is the governor of the largest US state by landmass. I think they are wrong-footed and just went into attack mode on instinct having prepared for Romney or Pawlenty or someone else and not Palin. Now they have to skate the fine line of sexism when they destroyed Hillary.
