Democrats Switch From Operation Rush to Operation Palin
Rule #4 in Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals says “pick the target and personalize it.”
Rush just isn’t getting the job done anymore for the democrats… their new personal target is…drum roll please….
SARAH PALIN
James Carville, the long time progressive liberal strategist for the DNC has the following to say:
“Her name conjures up all kinds of reactions in people’s minds,” Carville told me, adding that her association with the campaign will be used to portray the GOP as hidebound and to alienate moderates.
“She’s an uncomfortable figure for a lot of Republicans,” Carville says. “They want to move beyond her. We like her.”
“Luckily, she seems to present us with an opportunity every few days,” added a senior Dem strategist. “You could say it’s a turkey shoot.”…
Such efforts are aimed at the Dem base. But House Dem strategists hope she can be used to damage the GOP’s image with swing constituencies in the 2010 elections. “When she was campaigning, she rubbed suburban and independent women the wrong way,” one House Dem strategist says. “They are generally very moderate, and she’s a reminder of the extremism of the party and other aspects of it they dislike.”
