Palin Attacks: An Act of Desperation

So today Governer Palin was in my part of Southern California, talking in fron of a group of people. I wish I could have been there to show my unsupport for her ticket, but I was at a phonebank calling Nevada swing voters.

It seems that Sarah Palin has stepped up her verbal assault. Not only has she taken the proverbial gloves off, she's pulled out a switch blade. Palin is now accusing Obama of "palling with terrorists." This type of sliming is not only controversial, it's a double-edge sword. McCain has already taken heat for nonsensical ad, accusing Obama of wanting to teach sex ed to 5-year-olds. Even Karl Rove condemned these actions. It's possible that his slip in the polls is in part, due to this.

But, being the self-proclaimed marketing know-it-all that I try and convince myself that I am, I like to put myself other's shoes. So here's that I think:

The McCain camp is desperate. They are getting smoked in the polls, which, if anything, probably understates Obama's lead (think, young vote). The sliming will get worse. The McCain camp knows it needs to change something. They have nothing to lose by sliming Obama. It's an act of desperation. It's dangerous, but everything else they've tried has fallen short.

Let's see what the good Governer Palin says next!
