The NEWSWEAK feature will fail. The fact that they label her “bad news for the gop, and everyone else,” is probably not seen as a bad thing in a country where both parties are looked at with disdain. NEWSWEAK chose that particular picture for 2 reason: 1) help their lagging, sagging and dragging circulation, 2) to try and turn Palin into a sex symbol instead of a serious candidate. They are sure to sell several times their usual amount of magazines, just as TIME did when they put Palin on the cover a few months ago, and given the fact that the issue will be out during her book tour, it will drive up sales of her book, and increase turnout at her book signings. Not exactly what they had in mind.
I’m thinking about how we all were supposed to swoon over Obama’s beach picture - but when Sarah poses for a running mag. looking durn good, that is supposed to be a bad thing?
