This, I did not know:
In a recent slickly-produced video producer by Team Palin that chronicles her bus tour of Iowa, Palin shakes hands with a girl in an “Americans for Rick Perry” T-shirt and then poses for a photo with the girl and her fellow Perry supporters.
“Given the elaborate editing that went into this production, is it likely that Palin would have approved a visual nod to Perry as a mere coincidence?” asks blogger Robert Stacy McCain, a keen-eyed Palin watcher. “I don’t think so.”
As per Messers Simon and Garfunkle: “A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest”.
And no one has ever been used before, dang did not know that.
M. Kelly video from August 18th (11:42) When asked what would make Palin get in the race...
PALIN:(quickly typed)... still looking for a candidate I can get my heart and soul behind to support if I don't see that person in short order I would be willing to put my name forward in the name of service...
KELLY: Have you not found him or her yet?
PALIN: No, I'm impressed with the line up but there still is quite a long process, lot of coming and goings with this line up... I know I'm not the only potential candidate sitting on the sidelines waiting to see things unfold.
Oh yeah, that’s why she’s focusing on crony capitalists tomorrow—because she’s about to endorse Perry.
(eye roll)
“...is it likely that Palin would have approved a visual nod to Perry as a mere coincidence?”
I would have to think NO.
I didn’t read the linked article, so I am only responding to your post.
I did watch that video, but I didn’t notice that part. It was very well made and, as in all such vids, you know they shot HOURS of film. One has to assume every single thing that makes it into the final product is there on purpose. I mean, I’m sure Palin posed with scores of cute kids, etc.
I think if Palin endorses Perry he is a lock to win the nom.
Now, off topic of politics, but related to the concept of cutting a short video out of much film: how is it possible that the ad for the new Sarah Jessica Parker movie is so awful? It has Parker, Pierce Brosnan and Kelsey Grammer in it, it’s got to be at least 90 minutes long, and they could not cut a 30 second ad that makes it look anything other than dreadful. Like Ishtar level bad.
