In this era, the lowest of the low are politicians. They barely beat out journalists. Thus, Sarah Palin is behind the eight-ball.

I hope so.

I don’t think she handled her announcement badly, just that the media reacted to it badly, as they do with everything she does. I’ve seen the word “rambling” pop up in just about every negative column, which I suspect is the Axelrod word of the day.
