Here is an excellent post by Michael Goldfarb - official blogger at John McCain.com - in which he responds to the outrageous criticism of Gov. Sarah Palin leveled by the Obama Campaign yesterday:

The first Obama campaign statement on the annoucement of Governor Palin VP nominee:

"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," said Bill Burton, Obama Campaign Spokesman.

She's the Governor of Alaska and was the mayor of a small town, meaning she has more executive experience than Barack Obama and Joe Biden put together. But more than that, given Barack Obama's comments earlier this year that small-town Americans "cling" to guns, religion, and xenophobia out of economic anxiety, it's troubling that Obama's campaign has now attacked Governor Palin for having been the mayor of a small-town, as if that wouldn't qualify her to carry Senator Obama's bags.

Before Palin could even make it on stage the Obama campaign put out a petty partisan statement. While the press may find the current tone of the Obama campaign rousing, we suspect that the American people will judge harshly this kind of attack on Governor Palin, her record, and small town America.

Obama later in the day tried to backpeddle from his own campaign's statement. But the deed was done, revealing Obama's disdain for small towns and non-ivy league lawyers as candidates.
