“We’ve got to go after her. . . “

Sarah Palin the target:

“Democrats dare not issue [Sarah] Palin a pass — she’s too dangerous a foe. Normally vice presidential candidates fade into the background. Nobody is expecting that with Palin; indeed, her newfound celebrity has made even Obama look dull. [Italics added]

The usual rule is that voters don’t trust attacks from people they don’t know, but Palin is turning the adage on its head. Democrats are determined to attack her credibility, even if it gives her more visibility. ‘We’ve got to go after her, and fast,’ a top Democratic strategist, who asked for anonymity when discussing strategy, told me”

That’s Newsweek’s Howard Fineman, in the latest issue.
