I agree with you that more appearances would be better, but it’s Oct, 2009. You don’t want to be out there every day. I think people got tired of the endless campaign last time lasting over two years. She knew she had the book coming out so to be on all the time recently and then for the book would be overdoing it. You don’t really see any other Republican doing all these interviews.
I agree something along the lines of that weekly radio commentary Reagan did would be a good idea. But it sounds like she’s still figuring out what to do. All these requests. And they’re all far away as each trip for her isn’t the same as if you lived in NY or DC. And she does still have young kids and a baby.
I suspect you’ll see quite a bit next month and then she’ll see what happens with that and decide what to do next year. If the response is at a certain level, she’ll be just fine.
Maybe she’ll just decide that the media attacks and all the hatred towards her and her family isn’t worth it and take the 25M+ from the book deals and speeches and do what she feels like. I wouldn’t mind.
But all in all she’s doing as expected. Give her a yr to campaign against Romney or Huckabee and I think she’ll do just fine.
Polls are very volatile. Even Reagan had a favorability in the low 40s as late as 79/80. Think of it this way, if you’re still favorable towards her at this point, you’re in for keeps, unlikely to ever desert. So a base of 40% rock solid favorable is a good place to start from.
