Obama Nervous About Attacking Palin

With 18 million members of his own party rejecting him in the primaries and the millions of women chiding his brand of gender attack politics, team Obama is weary of attacking Palin.

Sen. Obama's response to this criticism Thursday was puzzlement. At a brief press conference with reporters in York, Pa., he said he believed Gov. Palin's work as mayor was fair game. "I assume she wants to be treated the same ways that guys want to be treated," he said. "I've been through this for 19 months, she's been through it for four days or so."
