You know what really made me sit up and take notice of her? When the McCain campaign pulled out of Michigan and gave it up as a lost cause, she wanted to go try, and loudly said so.

She has gumption.

I am a little bit neutral on Palin, I like her but I want to see her toast Gibson and a few other “reporters”. the best way for her to do this is to put them ill at ease, running down an Ice road with them sitting next to her with brown spots in their pants. Watching palin’s husband snowmobile race with hollowing winds and -20 temps, or out on the sea in a fishing boat with the waves and wind all but turning the ship inside out. She really does have to do better at out running the big dog reporters....I think she can do it and I defend her while she tries, see my post about her getting the sitting duck award...We can't do it for her she has to do it like when she stuffed Letterman...

And can you imagine how she’ll perform when she’s not suffering from post-partum depression?

Going to Michigan would have been a bold move, given how the Democrats disqualified Michigan from the election.

Whether it was a brilliant strategy or dumb luck, when the Democrats disqualified Michigan for moving their primary up, they avoided having to debate the reasons why the auto economy was failing, and what culpability the Democrat former rising-star governor Jennifer Granholm played in that. Remember, it was McCain who told Michigan voters to "get over it, the jobs aren't coming back," not the Democrats who created the situation.

If Palin had gone back there during the general campaign, she would have forced that debate that never happened during the primaries.

and how did that going for Obama work out for MIchigan?

some of those states are just hopeless ... and, regretably, VA is falling in line
