Note to Obama campaign:

Please stop responding to Palin. She's not the candidate; she is the backup (kind like Matt Cassel is for Tom Brady...). Deliver the message that she doesn't play in the same league as you by ignoring her.

Tackling the myriad of hypocrisy that is Palin may be fun, but leave that to the media to dig into her background -- or occasionally, Biden, as appropriate. The more attention you give her, the more the right-wing base will get riled up. Take on McCain. Focus on McCain. Continue the drumbeat of McCain = Bush. Remind the American public that we had a huge-antic budget surplus before the Bush administration. Now we have a huge-antic deficit. People cannot afford to stay in their houses, and the national debt is hitting numbers with more zeroes than ever before in history, leaving our grandkids to pay for this past eight years.

Okay, I'm done for now.
