Is the bottom line,the democratic party are in a awkward quandary regarding the female electorate and Palin..?

We all know that Sarah Palin is intellectually bankrupt when it comes to policies and public life,but in the struggle for the female vote in the forthcoming election the democrats are petrified of alienating the female electorate by highlighting her shortcomings,will the democrats realise that it is not ist to say that Palin is useless and incompetent?
