Indian lobby

The Indian Lobby is different than run-of-the-mill Indians, like Palin's old man.

since "Redskin" is considered a derogatory term by the Indian lobby

Not according to the Annenberg Public Policy Center.

In a survey released in 2004, ninety percent of Native Americans stated that the name "Redskins" was acceptable. Nine percent found it to be offensive.

And it may backfire: the site of someone in a Redskins jersey singing the praises of McCain and Palin might just turn Texas (Dallas Cowboys) blue.

At this point--at least--Texas is unlikely to turn Democrat. But with Virginia as a key battleground and must-win for McCain, appealing to Redskins fans makes sense.

It also is a subtle leveraging of the race card since "Redskin" is considered a derogatory term by the Indian lobby and many liberal, arugula-eating types. This shows to voters that McCain is a real maverick. I wonder how Palin's husband feels about it since he is apparently an Indian, himself.
