Why now? Nothing new except the outrageous post-partum depression insinuation. SarahPAC has to report its first numbers next month and today is the last day for donations that count.
Are they nervous?
Plus, she’s been on a roll lately. She was given a hero’s welcome in New York. She made Letterman cave. The left-wing hatebloggers overreached by mocking Trig, and parents are sympathizing with her. She’s up +6 among independents and +7 among Democrats (!) in the latest Pew poll. And she’s just returned from a visit to the troops in Kosovo which the Army called a “huge morale boost.” On the way back, she stopped in Germany and spent the whole day at Landstuhl with the wounded troops. That’s twice for her there in two years, and Obama blew off visiting the troops because the military wouldn’t let him bring his sycophantic press entourage with him. So he shot some hoops instead. Before she left for Kosovo, she rode out to the U.S.S. Stennis on a C-2A with an Admiral who personally excorted her and Todd to the carrier. Oh, and she just walked away with a straw poll in Kansas.
I’m willing to bet real money that the timing of the NY Daily News and VF hit pieces is no coincidence.
