FLAT ROCK, MI — If forced to choose between John McCain, George Bush, and Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin, Democrats may have the strongest distaste for the Alaska Governor, if crowd reactions on the trail are any indication.
In North Carolina yesterday, boos rained down at the mere mention of Palin’s name, as Joe Biden said she and McCain were against government backing for retraining workers who lose their jobs.
At Biden’s anti-McCain speech this morning, his one line about Palin got a bigger reaction than when he railed against George Bush’s broken promises and failed policies.
And in Flat Rock today, introductory speaker Barbara Theaker called Palin a “bucket of fluff,” as Biden stood on stage, head held in his hands in mock dismay.
“These slimy, slimy Republican ads that have the audacity to say that Barack Obama is not ready to serve as the President of the United States? Puhlease. Give me a break,” Theaker said. “I shudder to think if, God forbid, John McCain should win the presidency, and if something should tragically befall this man, and this woman would move into the presidency.”
Celebrities like Matt Damon, Pamela Anderson, and Lindsey Lohan have spoken out against McCain’s choice in recent days as well — even if the candidates themselves are doing their best to avoid attacking her, believing that a) it fuels the massive amounts of attention that are already being paid to the Palin phenomenon, and b) they’re best served to take on the man at the top of the ticket who would actually make the policies voters care about.
