Hilary Clinton has been working on getting supporters for the Obama campagin. He has raised approximately $5 million for Barack Obama, and is continuously giving speeches for the campaign. What she isn't doing, however, is attacking Sarah Palin. In fact, she isn't coming into contact with her at all. I thought that this is rather strange.
The reason that Hillary Clinton isn't attacking Sarah Palin is because she believes that the people on the top of the presidential tickets are more important, and she doesn't want to turn the attention away from them. When asked about Governor Sarah Palin, Hillary Clinton replied: "I don't think that's what this election is about." It is interesting to hear this, as I would have expected her to turn all her attacks towards Palin and how she isn't right to be Vice President. Instead, Senator Hillary Clinton only speaks positively about the Obama campaign and how he brings more to the table than John McCain does.
This is interesting to me in that Hillary Clinton is taking an active role in giving speeches supporting Obama and that she barely comments on Sarah Palin. What is good is that she is targeting white women who voted for her in the primaries. She efficiently proves to them that Barack Obama can bring them the change that they had hoped for with her.

Yes, I think it is a double-edged sword with Palin. In a sense, if they attack her, they make her legitimate. Like, if a child throws a tantrum and you acknowledge, then the child knows that tantrums work. Now, Im not comparing Palin to a tantrum, but I think the Democrats believe it is best not to engage her. They want to make McCain the target again.
