That's certainly in the realm of possibility. Palin only increases the books value every time she responds to the kid.
The next round of headlines will be...
SARAH PALIN ATTACKS GRANDCHILD'S FATHER.
That headline doesn't exist and the impetus to get Levi's reaction doesn't exist if Palin issues a "No Comment" statement. It's called managing the news cycle in the PR biz.
This assumes there will be no damaging headlines without a response from Palin. I disagree. The bad headlines are inevitable.
"No Comment" means Levi and his family manage the news cycle. There doesn't have to be an impetus to get a reaction from the kid. He's got a sexy story to tell about a target the drive-by's are hot to destroy. If he's not responding to Palin's camp, he's revealing juicy new details of all the nasty stuff he did to Bristol Palin under Sarah's roof. Either way, the MSM are going to run with this story.
