In a super smart move, Barack Obama’s campaign ran an ad focusing on group of everyday female supporters to sum up several of its arguments against a John McCain presidency, which aired in the D.C./Northern Virginia market Saturday night during Saturday Night Live– you know their highest rated episode in fourteen years, featuring the oh so breathlessly awaited and anticipated, but flaccid and fairly flat, appearance by the GOP’s very own Gov GILF, Sarah Palin.
Palin didn’t really connect during the show, she seemed stiff and wasn’t all that funny. Well, okay it was unintentionally funny watching her do the bucktooth bowl stir boogie (aka the uptight groove-thingy) during Amy Poehler’ rap which featured Eskimos, Todd Palin and moose.

Wow, that’s a great ad — real people, real issues, real truth.
Hope they have lots of money to show that many, many times.
there is one smart campaign and one stupid campaign, which is also vicious.
it would have made more sense for Palin to be in the last skit and do the rap; that would have played against type. instead she took part and gave it her seal of approval while being made the fool–all at the same time.
now, that was the worst possible choice. better not to have shown up at all than have been the butt of the joke and not looked cool either.
nuts.
The only “playah” worse than her was when Alec Baldwin did his bit out in the hall with her & Lorne Michaels. Jeez…read from cue cards much?
The ad is great & perfect placement where it could be seen by many.
Here’s hoping these ads are effective enough to blunt the vote stealing of the Republicans. Something else about Palin to laugh at: a quiz “What Would Sarah Do?” at http://www.homelanddecency.com. A good satire of what she might do her first days in office. It’s from the people who wrote The Decency Rules and Regulations Manual, a funny satire of Bush and the Moral Majority itself.
i bet originally Palin was to do the rap, but chickened out – thus the awkward intoducton saying she decided not to do the rap.
