Will Obama Distance Himself from the Kossacks?
Michelle suggests he had better soon:
Every major Democrat presidential candidate has attended the Yearly Kos convention. . . . So did Barack Obama. Ever since John McCain announced his VP pick, the Daily Kos — the self-declared “New Center” of American politics — has been an out-of-control incubator of deranged conspiracy theories and attacks on GOP Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s family. Will a single Kos Democrat stand up publicly and specifically denounce the madness on the left side of the Internet? Or do they agree with the Kos smear merchants that monitoring Palin family pregnancies and jeering about 17-year-old Bristol’s situtation — as Kos himself does here in this post now featured on the front page of the site — is “fair game?Tick Tock. UPDATE: Jennifer Rubin:
“I can’t imagine that question being asked of a man.” That was Steve Schmidt’s response to the media pack querying whether Sarah Palin could perform the duties of the VP given her family obligations. That spirit of denigration and chauvanism toward women by the MSM is precisely what sparked the outrage of Hillary Clinton voters. The specter of the McCain camp defending a working mom is a priceless bit of political role reversal. Democrats usually get to do that sort of stuff. Is McCain soon to be the champion of moms and working women and defender of the social conservatives’ pro-life message? We are in uncharted, even bizarre political territory. Dullness is never a problem with John McCain.
