So much for the loving ‘hockey mom’ NOT using her kids to advance her political career. :wink-wink
Exactly! That’s the norm for the McCain/Palin campaign. The more ridiculous the stunt, the better, even if they have to put Palin’s kids in awkward situations. While I don’t think it’s alright (at all) to boo the kids, she & the advisors knew what they were getting themselves into. I kind of think this was maybe meant to show that Obama supporters are somehow as batshit crazy as the ones that have been going to McCain/Palin events & saying insane things. They have received a lot of heat lately for the rhetoric on the campaign trail. Problem is that by her acknowledging that she anticipated boos, and would use her child to diffuse that, they will have a hard time making that case. Plus it was a freakin hockey game, not an Obama event. Besides, didn’t Philly fans many years ago boo Santa Claus at an Eagles game? :santa2:
