Talk about over exposed,you couldn’t walk into a mall,bookstore,or grocery store a couple of years ago without it looking like an Obama shrine.It was an embarrassment.I mean his mug was everywhere.So this argument isn’t gonna fly,BORe.

Except for the fact that Obama WAS overexposed and his expectations (having risen to the "walk on water" level) were way to high. It's amazing, here in DC, how many stores that loaded up on Obama merchandise for the inauguration STILL have that merchandise sitting on the shelfs ... at VERY deep discount. Socking that much $$$ into Obama-related inventory drove at least three businesses that I know of out of business (market economy applies regardless of whether you think the guy you're investing in is the messiah or not, d*mba**es) and is causing serious problems for a third (used to be my favorite area newsstand - they've cut their inventory way way down, but have an entire area of Obama-cr*p at deep discount that they can't get rid of).

In politics there's the possibility that a candidate will "peak too early", and the rules apply across the board. Obama was very fortunate that he peaked at just the right moments. But history is replete with candidates who peaked early, burned out and lost. It's better to try to engineer peaking at the best possible moment to leave it to chance ... and I see a definitely possibility that Palin and her team are driving towards a VERY early peaking followed by the set in of significant candidate-fatigue.
