Her bus tour was a classic book example of a Doolittle Raid strategy.

Please explain how this is to those of us not confined to rooms with padded walls.

Doolittle et al staged an air raid on Japan in WWII.
Palin and family rode around in an RV visiting historical landmarks.
Yeah, a lot of similarity there!

wow sorry to see you use such one dimensional thinking.
Per Doolittle's autobiography: The Japanese people had been told they were invulnerable ... An attack on the Japanese homeland would cause confusion in the minds of the Japanese people and sow doubt about the reliability of their leaders. There was a second, and equally important, psychological reason for this attack ... Americans badly needed a morale boost.

the liberals had been told that Palin was hated in the NE that she would never dare show her face in the liberal NE that her support was in flyover country. The Bus tour was a major moral boost to her supporters, her great reception in 5 deep blue cities sowed doubt in the minds of the avg citizen that she was as hated as the media told them. ...... it sowed confusion in the gop establishment and DNC as to her intentions and showed them that Palin reach and stregth had been greatly underestimated by them. it lead directly to the overreaction of the email witch hunt which futher set back the antiplain forces. the Doolittle quote is from his book but copied that quote from this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doolittle_Raid

It's obvious.
New England liberals are like the Imperial Militarized Japanese. New England is like the Japanese Island. Palin’s tour bus was like Doolittle’s bomber.
Doolittle bombed Japan by surprise. Palin visited NE by surprise.
The bomber landed in China. Palin landed in NH.
Doolittle made it out of China. Palin made it out of NH went back to AK for jury duty.
Doolittle went back to bombing in WWII. Palin attended a showing of 'the Undefeated'

Don't you know anything about history?
