If this meme catches on

Obama may have just lost the "Hillary vote".

LEBANON, Va. -- "That's not change," Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., said of what Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., is offering.

"You know, you can put lipstick on a pig," Obama said, "but it's still a pig."

Obama's people insist that he wasn't calling Palin a pig; they say he was just quoting an old saying.

That's probably true, but it's incredibly tone deaf.  He desperately needs to keep Hillary's female supporters in the flock. Many of them are already accusing him of running a sexist campaign against Clinton. This isn't likely to help.
