I love how they are now going to hide Palin away from the “campaign trail” meaning media. She campaigned for less than a week. Give me a break. Listen, if you nominate someone we’ve never heard of, please give the media a week to find out about her. And Palin certainly wants the media to know aspects of her personal life, like her sons upcoming deployment, which compromises military information. Quit picking and choosing.

funny new Obama rumor:

Words marked. And, by the way, I hate that Olbermann is anchoring MSNBC’s coverage. Bad form. Matthews I could handle, but not somebody as partisan as Keith. MSNBC is quickly turning into the Fox News of the left.

@mw
I’m looking forward to that debate too, especially if McCain’s people limit her access to the press.

Yeah, I used a thumbtack. Unfortunately, the LCD display on my laptop has not been the same since.

She has plenty of opportunities to blow this. I am more interested in the Palin/Biden debate than I am McCain/Obama. How weird is that?

mw – What did you use to “mark” JG’s words? I used a post-it note and thumb-tack. ;) This would be absolutely no fun if both sides didn’t get to (on occassion) grid the oppositions face it.

Will it translate into votes: That depends on the demographics that she particularly appealed to. I suspect that it absolutely will.

BTW – I anticipate that Keith Olberman and Chris Matthews will cry on air before this thing is done. Mark my words.

Exactly. That speech may have been all she needed to maintain a popular persona.

But will it translate into votes?

“…you know what they say about first impressions.” – JG

That you don’t get a second chance to make one?

Doesn’t look like she’ll need a second chance.
