DENVER -- It seems the Obama campaign, typically assiduously on message, has two messages in mind today on the matter of Sarah Palin, Republican rival John McCain's running mate:
Obama Campaign spokesman Bill Burton this morning (10:44 am CT):
"Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency. Governor Palin shares John McCain's commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush's failed economic policies -- that's not the change we need, it's just more of the same.''
And Sens. Barack Obama's and Joe Biden's statement (12:10pm CT):
"We send our congratulations to Governor Sarah Palin and her family on her designation as the republican nominee for Vice President. It is yet another encouraging sign that old barriers are falling in our politics. While we obviously have differences over how best to lead this country forward Governor Palin is an admirable person and will add a compelling new voice to this campaign.''
It seems that, if McCain can run a TV ad congratulating Obama for a "job well done'' in obtaining the Democratic Party's nomination while running YTV ads accusing Obama of being "dangerously unprepared'' for the presidency, then the Obama campaign can congratulate camp McCain for the Palin pick while slamming them for it.
