“I was operating from the premise that there is no such thing as bad press compared to being ignored. IMO the media is promoting Palin in a left handed fashion, hoping that by their derision they’ll simultaneously poison the center while conservatives take the bait.”
I came away with the opposite conclusion .. this sounded to me like a professional that is getting his clock cleaned by whom he presumed an amateur ... and is trying to say so through somewhat clenched teeth. The barbs and digs are there, but he knows this is not a hick chick with a little pizazz .. which is the way the rest of the MSM has tried to push it ... including th “astroturf” meme which was also designed to knock HER down as well ... I see a turning point here.
The old saw of 'a week in politics is close to an eternity' being what it is, insofar as a presidential election is concerned, "turning points" are immaterial until late 2012. For now I would chalk that up to wishful thinking.
