Putting a muzzle on it

A fellow blogger proposes this idea: McCain's choice of Sarah Palin wasn't to draw the women voters to his campaign but to play the woman-as-victim card. Attack dog Joe Biden would have made hash of a similarly qualified male pick, yet his comments so far about Palin seem quite squishy. He is enough of a gentleman that he doesn't want to be seen attacking a woman. The Veep debate could be handed to Palin on a platter if Biden can't regain his bark and bite. Perhaps this is where Hillary helps out Obama. She can point out that Palin wants to not only overturn Roe v. Wade, but also Griswold -- the case in 1965 that threw out laws that prevented a married couple from using contraceptives. Along with Hillary could be Pelosi and a long string of female governors, senators, and representatives.
