Sarah Palin's Hypocrisy

Sarah Palin believes her family is off-limits, but she is free to take shots at Michelle Obama.

"They loved their country in good times and bad, and they are always proud of America," Palin said an obvious dig at Michelle Obama, during her remarks about her small-town roots.

Barack Obama did a classy move and not used Bristol Palin's pregnancy as a campaign issue. I thought it was politicaly stupid. However, Obama wants to maintain an image as a positive campaigner. I didn't think he would survive the Hillary Clinton attacks. Obama is savvy enough to use the Palin attacks to raise $8 million.

An Obama aide confirms Drudge's report that Obama has raised about $8 million from more than 130,000 donors and is on pace to raise $10 million by the time McCain reaches the stage tonight.

UPDATE: Obama spokesman Bill Burton says, "Sarah Palin's attacks have rallied our supporters in ways we never expected. And we fully expect John McCain's attacks tonight to help us make our grass-roots organization even stronger."

Cause and effect, people.
