You mean the long anti-Palin Booooh at the hockey opener?  |
Yeah, I viewed that on the tv news last night. Not much love out there on the ice for Governor Palin.
Just read this article in the Times today: McCain tussles with Palin over whipping up a mob mentality
Quote:
John Weaver, a former senior McCain adviser who left the campaign when it almost imploded in the summer of last year, questioned the purpose of the attacks.
“People need to understand, for moral reasons and the protection of our civil society, that the differences with Senator Obama are ideological, based on clear differences on policy and a lack of experience compared with Senator McCain,” he said.
“And from a purely practical political vantage point, please find me a swing voter, an undecided independent, or a torn female voter that finds an angry mob mentality attractive.”

Can't disagree with that.
