Palin’s actually not my choice for Republican nominee in 2012, but I don’t think this hurts her as much as some seem to think.
Americans love an underdog, and they love a comeback story. So the more the MSM writes her off, and the more they marginalize her....the more supporters she’ll gain should she choose to run in 2012.
I don’t think she should be fired over this; it’s embarassing enough that it happened, as she clearly did not intend to include that snippet in the video.
But I think the bigger issue here is that people (especially young women, who seem especially susceptible to this) need to NEVER record anything that you don’t want to see one day on the internet, or in the wrong person’s hands.
