And yes, if you follow politics as way-too-much as I do, you'll remember that she was indeed lobbying for the spot. I also don't think there's much reason to feel sorry for her, as this election cycle has been very very good for her career. I agree that there's no sense in continuing to criticize her, and I wish that Obama supporters would show a little more respect for the feelings of the voters who supported their candidates just as strongly as we supported ours. |

Nobody really took Ohbama seriously last year. This was Hillary's race to lose. Everyone know Ohbama had style, but it was dismissed as insufficient. We see this week the power of being a popular media figure. Regardless of whether Palin is a bubblehead, shrewd Dems will not discount her...she has panache. She was a bigger draw than McCain. She re-energized the GOP ticket, she was the main topic of conversation, she caused non-viagra induced erections at town hall meetings across the country....in short, she is a media force now. To dismiss her would be irresponsible. The strategic thing to do is to keep picking away at her wounds, thereby preventing them from ever healing in the public eye. If she is viewed as a knuckelhead, it will be tough for her to gain appointments or further her political career much more than where she is now. I think the Dems will watch her very closely for the next few years, day and night. In fact, I have volunteered to do so, with binoculars...at night...at her house. Remember, keep your friends close...and your enemies closer.

Regardless of her performance this cycle, it's clear that, barring some sort of scandal or allegations of corruption, she will be a frontrunner.
The great thing about running as a socially conservative lower-middle-class torchbearer is that media scrutiny only proves you that much worthier to carry the torch. Abuse at the hands of the liberal media is so much of an assumption that being subjected to it lends you an air of credibility. |
