S.C. Dem chair: Palin primary qualification is she hasn't had an abortion

South Carolina Democratic chairwoman Carol Fowler sharply attacked Sarah Palin today, saying John McCain had chosen a running mate " whose primary qualification seems to be that she hasn’t had an abortion.” 

Palin is an opponent of abortion rights and gave birth to her fifth child, Trig, earlier this year after finding out during her pregnancy that the baby had Down syndrome.

Fowler told my colleague Alex Burns in an interview that the selection of an opponent of abortion rights would not boost McCain among many women.

“Among Democratic women and even among independent women, I don’t think it helped him,” she said. 

Told of McCain's boost in the new ABC/Washington Post among white women following the Palin pick, Fowler said: "Just anecdotally, I believe that those white women are Republican women anyway."

What a dolt. First she makes the disgraceful comment about Palin only being qualified because she "hasn't had an abortion." She refuses to admit Palin is qualified, more qualified than Obama is. And then when confronted with poll results on white women she dismisses them out of hand with another insult directed at Republican women. And these numbers on women are not just from one poll either.

UPDATE: The SC Dem Chair is the wife of Don "God is on our side" Fowler. Figures.
