They know that Sarah Palin is a formidable political force who is rapidly derailing the Obama victory train.
‘Palin Power’ has rapidly lifted the McCain ticket above Obama and what’s-his-name ... oh, yes ... Joe Biden. I had nearly forgotten.
Palin has put Biden so far in the background people forget who the Democrat vice-presidential candidate is.
Two weeks ago the McCain campaign lacked life. It was about as exciting as leftover oatmeal.
Sarah Palin has changed all that.
The latest Washington Post/ABC Poll shows John McCain taking a 12-point lead over Barack Obama among white women, a reversal of Mr. Obama's eight-point lead last month.
A Gallup poll (at the second link below) shows McCain is up by 15 points among white women.
It's no surprise, then, that Democrats have airdropped a mini-army of 30 lawyers, investigators and opposition researchers into Anchorage, the state capital Juneau and Mrs. Palin's hometown of Wasilla to dig into her record and background.
The witch hunt is on. The Democrats must discredit Palin before she has a chance to destroy Obama in the polls and possibly the election.
