MoveOn Hits Palin: "McCain's Dangerous Choice" (take 3)
(My first two tries at this flopped horribly. My apologies to the TPM community. I've given up on reproducing the e-mail for the blog post.)
I've seen a lot of comments here, hoping for MoveOn to get involved in laying out the anti-Palin argument. They appear to have fired their opening salvo.
The following is a link to the Web version of MoveOn's e-mail sent out by Ilyse Hogue of MoveOn yesterday. I wouldn't be surprised if an ad is coming at some point.
Notes: First, I don't necessarily hold that their line of attack is best; this post is designed to share information. Second, the Buchanan point is debatable, but there are some points in here that I hope certain surrogates carry to the MSM.

Wow. Their letter could have been so much stronger if they didn't distort some of her words or positions and especially if they didn't attack her as a nobody from small-town America. Small town America are the voters Obama has had real trouble attracting.

I agree with a good deal of this. However, Obama hasn't had trouble with small-town America in general. He won a lot of states where there are nothing *but* small towns in the primary.
Obama's "small-town trouble" really works out to "Rust Belt trouble" (particularly southern Indiana, southern Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, and the Pennsylvania "T").

The McCain campaign is bragging that the gloves are coming off because off a few "negative" ads by Obama.
That MoveOn email appears to consist of facts with links to prove them.
The Ayers smear is disgusting nonsense, spouting lies and innuendos - typical of the Rovian garbage coming from McCain.
Obama's gloves will come off, too - right around the last week in October, which is when it will actually work.
