You are right , but Palin has her strengths and she has all but disappeared from the campaign trail .
McCain and Palin are two very different types , but they compliment each other quite well .
We need to keep our base energized and she is the only one who can do that . McCain needs to keep the Moderate Middle energized and he is the only one who can do that .
They both need to be out there keeping these two groups interested and engaged .
McCain is mired in Washington and Palin is being hidden ...The campaign better be planning for a final massive offensive or we are doomed .
I think it is clear, the kind of offensive that must be. They must drive the public impression of Barack Obama into the dirt. And all they have to do is tell the truth.
Yes...this week. Part of that was McCain suspending his campaign (Palin is part of the McCain campaign too, remember?) and part of it is debate preparation in Philadelphia. I just hope that she is not being overprepared. And Kristol is actually right for once: a minute spent not going after Obama is a minute wasted. But she needs to do it in the calm, relaxed, even charming style of her convention speech as well as her Alaska debates in 2006. I know she can do it because the evidence on YouTube is overwhelming.
