With less than two months until Election Day, Barack Obama, who some thought could walk on water, is now treading water.
Palinmania has disoriented the Obama campaign and sent his supporters into a panic mode. My inbox is flooded with “must-read” messages and rumors such as Palin’s pregnant daughter’s baby-daddy is black.
The Obama campaign has released a video attacking Palin for being for the Bridge to Nowhere before she was against it.
So, is Obama now against the egregious earmark?
In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, Republican Sen. Jim DeMint writes:
Mrs. Palin also killed the infamous Bridge to Nowhere in her own state. Yes, she once supported the project: But after witnessing the problems created by earmarks for her state and for the nation's budget, she did what others like me have done: She changed her position and saved taxpayers millions. Even the Alaska Democratic Party credits her with killing the bridge.
When the Senate had its chance to stop the Bridge to Nowhere and transfer the money to Katrina rebuilding, Messrs. Obama and Biden voted for the $223 million earmark, siding with the old boys' club in the Senate. And to date, they still have not publicly renounced their support for the infamous earmark.
The efforts to dismiss the first Republican female vice-presidential nominee as little more than “lipstick on a pig” brings to mind a truism: a drowning man will grab a razor blade.
