It seems to me reasonable to require that delegates to the Democratic National Convention be required not to announce that they will support another party's candidate.
I can see where the delegate's statement was bad PR for the nominee, but even delegates to the Democratic National Convention should have the right to free speech. I like the Constitution. I'm funny that way.
The delegate had the right to speak freely. What she did NOT have the right to do was to represent the Democratic Party when she had decided to vote for a Republican candidate. Do you think that if an African-American Republican delegate had publicly announced that he was going to vote for Obama that he would have been allowed to attend the Republican convention as a delegate?

Edited to correct tense. It still IS part of the Catholic Campaign for Human Development.
For the record, Palin never attacked community organizers.

Obama attacked her job as a small town mayor (and hence all small town mayors).

Palin attacked Obama right back, that the had similar jobs, except she actually had to be responsbile to provide results.

Don't hate on her just because her response was funnier and more accurate than Obama's initial jab.

That is a surprise. :D

Obama has used the 'community organizer' as a response to his lack of experience prior to either convention. So he put it in play to be compared and contrasted to Palin's small town mayorship when he mocked her lack of experience because she was using a small town mayorship to support her experience.


BTW, I'm with the Obamanites on the lipstick thing. Barak was clearly talking about the platform and not Palin. He did NOT call, compare, or insinuate that Palin is a pig. It is embarassing to see all the finger pointing about that comment.
