It doesn't matter if Democrats had used the term before. IMO his campaign should apologize, carefully and quickly. When Democrats used the term before, there wasn't a woman on the Republican ticket. Once Palin came on the ticket, their vocabulary HAD to change. Maybe Obama can apologize and explain (that he had used the term before, Palin was on the ticket) that he was just recycling old phrases from earlier on the stump. One shouldn't use the term "putting lipstick on a pig" when referring to the proposals of Senator Clinton. And one shouldn't use the term now that there is a woman on the Republican ticket.
