There are a ton of diaries sprouting up, already mocking Sarah Palin
McCain is SWINGING for the fences here. It is frankly a gutsy move and reinforces McCains maverick image.
The Schpiel: Sarah Palin is young, popular, attractive, Great High-school basketball star, pro-gun, pro-life.....who is currently mired in a corruption scandal.
I just want to caution that we shouldn't MOCK Sarah Palin.
We have to remain civil, Joe Biden is going to have to go to great lengths to not appear scornful during the debates etc.
Dems mocked Spiro Agnew, Dems mocked Dan Quayle...how did those two tickets turn out? Yeah I thought so......
Go after her on the issues, go after her experience etc
But do not MOCK her.
Thank You.

I like ThirstyGator's comment below:
She has an infant son with Down Syndrome. Which means the first time we try to lay a glove on her we'll be accused (by the traditional media) of being insensitive. POW and mother of disabled child. The theme seems to be, "it would be wrong to make fun of us."
I think the proper strategy is to chuckle and ignore her every time she says something.
Except that, you know, the actuarial tables indicate she has a pretty good shot at finishing McCain's term if they win ...
I also like leftilicious's comment
You're right, kinda.
Biden and Obama and Dean and friends should criticize but not mock.
But us? C'mon. We can mock a bit. But let's mock the pick. It's a ridiculous choice, for heavens sake. Absolutely ridiculous and desperate. How can we not mock that?
Yeah obviously, we can mock a bit, but I'm just saying we shouldn't go overboard with it. Someone in this diary already called her a vagina. oh well...have at it.
