Both Plouffe and Clinton are lying. It was a Democratic talking point to attack Palin and everyone knows it.
Via Daily Mail:
Hillary Clinton was not telling the truth when she said the Obama campaign asked her to attack Sarah Palin for being a woman, President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign manager, David Plouffe, said in an interview released last weekend.
‘We never tried to do that,’ Plouffe said on an episode of Bloomberg Television’s Political Capital with Al Hunt.
‘We did want her to go out there and speak, but not about Sarah Palin’s gender.’
