Is Obama going to go after Palin
for her hypocrisy
such as earmarks, jet on e-bay, bridge to nowhere, etc

or am I waiting in vain?

1. For a PResidential Candidate to Run Against The Opposing Veep Would Be SUICIDE
NEVER NEVER EVER do that.

Never.

2. Axelrod/Plouffe have apparently decided the better strategy is to focus on McCain (and I agree)
The media is scrutinizing her just fine.

This is about George Bush and John McCain.

Oh - wait - it's just that you don't read the news, so to you, nothing at all happens.


EDIT: It's funny because you're now pretending that wasn't bitching.

5. Perhaps you should check out some of his statements the last few days
then you wouldn't have to ask that question.

7. do you want him to win? or do you want vengeance?
he is not going to go after her in a stupid way.

do not underestimate the way obama goes up against someone. hillary did, and look where it got her.

he wont 'attack' her. he will however win against her

9. He did some today
knowing that, she'd be spending very little time in front of the media, defending herself, he dedcided to take a few jabs in from now to help set the narrative on her. But it's not a full frontal attack, and I think it's wise to play it how Obama is now.

10. I doubt that he will go after her himself. It would be better for surrogates to do it

12. No. Why should he?
Biden can. Other surrogates can.

Obama focuses on McCain. That's who he's running against.
