McCain camp whines sexism at Obama ad using Palin's wink

Does anybody think that Obama ad using Palin's wink is sexist?

The reviews are in from the McCain camp on the Obama "Choice" ad - the one that uses footage of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin winking. Short version: the McCain side thinks it's demeaning, insulting and sexist.


"Senator Obama has stooped to a new low," said Judy Black, National Co-Chair, Women for McCain. "I am outraged by the over-the-top treatment of Gov. Palin."


Obama senior strategist David Axelrod defends the ad."It's really an ad about the economy and about John McCain and his various statements about his lack of knowledge about that," he said, including the suggestion that he would lean on a vice president for expertise in that area.


And perceptions that using the wink footage is sexist? "I don't see why. If she felt that way she shouldn't have done it."

Sarah made a fool out of herself from the beginning of the Debate. Flirting with Joe Biden and all her sexy talk. Now the wink was her's alone and wasn't made up. Every male reporter was drulling over Sarah as a sex object and now their made because the Ad speaks volumes without a word spoken.
