The choice is easy for most Americans,it's NOT->Obama Obama Camp Turns to Clinton to Counter Palin By PATRICK HEALY and JEFF ZELENY The New York Times, September 5, 2008 ST. PAUL — Senator Barack OBAMA will increasingly lean on prominent Democratic women to undercut Gov. Sarah PALIN and Senator John McCain, dispatching Senator HILLARY Rodham CLINTON to Florida on Monday and bolstering his plan to deploy female surrogates to battleground states, OBAMA advisers said Thursday. Mrs. Clinton’s campaign event in Florida, her first for Mr. OBAMA since the Democratic convention, will serve as a counterpoint to the searing attacks and fresh burst of energy that Ms. PALIN injected into the race with her convention speech on Wednesday, OBAMA aides said. With the McCain-PALIN team courting undecided female voters, including some who backed Mrs. CLINTON in the Democratic primaries, OBAMA aides said they were counting on not only Mrs. CLINTON but also Democratic female governors to rebut Ms. PALIN — and, by extension, Mr. McCain. Those governors include Janet Napolitano of Arizona and Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas. Still, within the OBAMA campaign and among Democratic officials nationwide, talks are well under way about how the party should treat Ms. PALIN in the campaign — and what Mr. OBAMA and his running mate, Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., need to do to regain the offensive after the Republican convention. Some Democrats were urging Mr. Obama’s campaign not to underestimate the potential power of Ms. Palin’s speech, even among voters not aligned with either party: On liberal talk-radio shows and on left-leaning blogs, some Democrats said the OBAMA campaign should fight back hard to avoid being caricatured as Senator John Kerry was four years ago when he ran against President Bush. Some party strategists warned that Mrs. Palin’s personal narrative as a “hockey mom” with a special-needs child, would appeal to some undecided women voters. Advisers to Mrs. CLINTON said that she stood ready to help the Obama-Biden ticket, but they urged the campaign not to overestimate the impact Mrs. CLINTON could have, noting that she had other commitments this fall, like campaigning and raising money for Senate candidates. OBAMA aides said the CLINTON trip had been in the works before Ms. PALIN was named the running mate.
