The liberal campaign to seek to diminish Sarah Palin by sexualizing her continues. Yesterday, I described how Frank Rich used a number of sexualized terms in reference to Palin's relationship with McCain: "shotgun marriage," "speed-dating" and "embrace." Chris Matthews employed a similar tactic this evening, claiming that Palin is running "somewhere between a VP and a First Lady."

During the first segment of this evening's Hardball, Matthews tried out his theory, with no particular success, on pollster Stu Rothenberg and NBC News Political Director Chuck Todd. For the record, Matthews did stop short of telling Palin to iron McCain's shirt.
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Let me try my theory about why Sarah Palin seems to be catching on. I don't think she's running as a traditional VP, which is no big deal. She's running as kind of like the other partner, somewhere between a VP and a First Lady, maybe.
Imagine the liberal/feminist outrage if a Republican had sought to portray a sitting governor and VP candidate as a First Lady.

The more they smear here, the more voters want to defend and support her. Left them continue their smear campaign. They are going to assure that McCain-Palin win in November.

No smears needed...she is slowly hanging herself. I can't wait until she's called out on her lies or asked questions about facts.

What lies? The only thing I have seen so far is stuff people have twisted around or invented.

Her poll numbers will decline as soon as she opens her mouth. Why do you think they won't let her speak to the media?
