I'm copying/pasting from Talking Points Memo, this now-front page (at TPM, courtesy of David Kurtz) piece:
"Here in Wisconsin, one of the heads of the "Palin Truth Squad", former Lt. Gov. Margaret Farrow is giving interviews, outraged over the lipstick comment. The state GOP has called a 1:30 press conference where a group of GOP women will rip into Obama for all of the assembled TV cameras.
"My question... where the hell are the Democrats on this? Not just here, but nationally, they are letting Obama get bloodied over this. Where is Biden? Is he turning into this cycle's Edwards? Where are Pelosi and Boxer and Sebelius today?
"The campaign needs to stop forcing Obama to take on the entire right-wing... His organization in every state should have high-profile surrogates out there today ripping into McCain and Palin, not just on the lipstick, but on the the sex ed ad and the judge's order for Palin to stay out of the divorce."
Where are these people?
From TPM reader WS
Indeed. Follow me below the fold.
So, are Democratic women Governors, Hillary and Boxer and Pelosi and just waiting for the "O.K.", from Obama Campaign Headquarters or Dr. Dean? Are Barack Obama (as WS asks) and Rachel Maddow supposed to do this on their own?
Hell, get some of THESE people to cut commercials and make TV appearances for Obama; they don't look like THEY'RE afraid to hang back and wait for "marching orders":
Or, lets get some airtime for Major Tammy Duckworth, who leaves "Summer Palin" in the dust:
Obama has spine. No doubt about that.
I want to know where all those others are who are supposedly behind him and who have ready access to the Hairdo Media. Well, where are they?
Well?
