In a campaign where every single word that is uttered is scrutinized by the opposing candidate, Barack Obama clearly made one of the biggest verbal blunders ever. When Obama made reference to Sarah Palin's comparison of herself as a pit bull in lipstick by referencing the common phrase, "You can put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig" the McCain camp salivated at the chance to paint Obama as a sexist name-caller. They even released this commercial further exploit their claim.

Now, is it really believable that Barack is a sexist? Not in the slightest bit. However, America will relish any   propaganda which the McCain camp packages for them, no problem.

The comment has thrown the dueling campaigns into a frenzy with Republicans demanding an apology and Democrats accusing McCain of a "pathetic attempt" to play the gender card. Could this be the cincher for Obama? Get your presidential election odds in the Bodog Sportsbook now!
