Campbell Brown On McCain/Palin Fiasco

Kind of an odd angle - "Free Sarah Palin" - as if she hasn't had a part in this nonsense, but good nonetheless:

I call upon the McCain campaign to stop treating Sarah Palin like she is a delicate flower who will wilt at any moment.

This woman is from Alaska for crying out loud. She is strong, she is tough, she is confident. And you claim she is ready to be one heartbeat away from the presidency. If that is the case, then end this chauvinistic treatment of her now. Allow her to show her stuff.

Allow her to face down those pesky reporters just like Barack Obama did today, just like John McCain did today. Just like Joe Biden has done on numerous occasions. Let her have a real news conference with real questions.

By treating Sarah Palin differently from other candidates in this race, you are not showing her the respect she deserves.

Free Sarah Palin.

Free her from the chauvinistic chains you are binding her with.

Sexism in this campaign must come to an end. Sarah Palin has as much a right to be a real candidate in this race as the men do.

So let her act like one.


Digg!

Campbell Brown is full of it. Which is bad, because I'm a big Campbell Brown fan. Barack Obama hasn't had a tough interview, yet. I don't see Campbell begging for him to be freed.
