the whole plane flying thing from the TV show last week reminded me of Triumph of the Will.

Uh-Oh...here comes trouble.

I watched her show last week and it was an enjoyable travelogue. But as I thought about how she was a major candidate and using it to position herself, the Triumph movie came into my head as we seemed to spend half the show watching Palin up in the clouds on different aircraft.

I remember in college watching that film in a history class. All I can recall from it was Hitler flying around up in the clouds and over the mountains. After watching it we talked about the imagery and role of the plane, the chosen one coming down from the skies, how Leni Riefenstahl was ahead of her time in the use of media, etc., etc.

As a lot of you guys have said, Palin needs to get out there and mix it up. The election of an “image” was 2008. 2012 is going to be about substance.
