The McCain Campaign Thinks We are Stupid
Carly Fiornia, former CEO of HP, says, "the facts are that Sarah Palin has made more executive decisions as a mayor and governor than Barack Obama has made in his life."
Good grief. By that metric, Sarah Palin has made more executive decisions than 90% of the entire congress, including John McCain. By that metric, there are hundreds of thousands of business owners in this country with more experience than Palin, Obama, McCain, or congress.
This is just PR spin. One of the first things you learn in Public Relations training is to figure out what your main point is. Then, any time someone asks you a question, answer with your main point, regardless of whether or not doing so actually answers the question. If you repeat the point enough, it will solidify in people's brains, which for the most part can barely retain more than one point at a time anyway.
So this is the latest point from the McCain camp, who believe that if they can get this message out enough times that we'll actually accept it. And, they might even be right. I just read in the local paper an interview with women reacting to the Palin pick. One woman said, "well she's been a governor for 20 months so she is even more experienced than Obama."
Hitting head on wall.
Frankly I find the argument insulting of my intelligence. If you believe Palin is a good choice, then let that choice stand on its own merits. Don't insult me with nonsensical talking points.
