Yeah, I get the exposure mantra - for someone who wants to be a journalist, which is where she started out of college, right?
Too much exposure in politics is a bad thing though. It just gives the left more soundbytes to use negatively.
Honestly, I find her presentation to be kind of like Con-Doleeza Rice’s. I mean, it’s fine and all, but there’s a certain catch, a certain lack of smoothness, that I think is going to make it hard for her to take on a certain serpentine politician that must be defeated.
OTOH, the bad news is, the 2012 elections are not that far away, and from what I can see, we got NUTHIN. NUTHIN!
It also gives people who have come over to our side a chance to see her in a much different light then they were use to....
You couldn't be more wrong. Sarah's main problem was that she was defined by the media. People only heard or saw what the media was willing to present. She has now taken control of her exposure. She appears in positive environments. She is building a searchable policy reference with her facebook writings. She is a big time star and draw when she does speaking engagements. Through all of this she has been in control. The left has gotten very little new material to use. It is hard to misrepresent her to someone who saw the actual event .
