More 2012: Dems use Palin against GOP candidate

CALIFORNIA: The right has Nancy Pelosi. The left has Sarah Palin. Janice Hahn (D), the L.A. city councilwoman favored in a July 12 special election, will begin running an ad today on cable that compares her GOP opponent to Sarah Palin. (Here’s the ad.)

NEVADA: “Las Vegas elects a new mayor Tuesday, and for the first time in more than a decade it won't be Oscar Goodman,” the AP says.

OHIO: “The Ohio Democratic Party filed a complaint Monday with the Federal Election Commission against state Treasurer Josh Mandel (R), who will likely run against Sen. Sherrod Brown (D) in 2012,” Roll Call writes. “The complaint alleges that Mandel used state resources for political purposes, including the use of ‘identical materials and language’ on Mandel’s government and campaign websites.”

I think the democrats should include Palin in all her ads. She has become the poster girl for inept and stupid and they should take full advantage of that.

You mean like reprinting this:

He who warned, uh, the … the British that they weren’t gonna be takin’ away our arms, uh, by ringin’ those bells and, um, by makin’ sure that as he’s ridin’ his horse through town to send those warnin’ shots and bells that, uh, we were gonna be secure and we were gonna be free … and we were gonna be armed.

Amy B.

That is just pathetic.

Imagine school children being asked to look up to this woman. Even a third grader could have done better in explaining Paul Revere's Ride.

We can superimpose Palin's head onto every Repubican's body.

Can you imagine Chris Christy's body with a Palin head?
