Sarah Palin - Potential Giant-Killer?
It has to be said that even with these revelations of her pregnant daughter, Troopergate, etc everyone should just bear in mind that the Republican base has felt so revitalised that they have given $10million in the few short days her appointment was announced.
Yes, it can be argued that some Focus Groups have criticised the appointment, and other former Hillary supporters have expressed disappointment for what could be seen as a "cynical" choice in Palin.
But I would urge caution in jumping to ANY conclusions about this lady, and I would also urge the Obama campaign to tread carefully.
By this constant scrutiny of her private and public life, Sarah Palin will feel that she has a lot to prove, and will look to scalp Joe Biden at any given opportunity.
Think of her as a "secret" weapon. John McCain has shown himself to be a cunning, chameleon-type politician who will give off an impression of himself that is not strictly true. No self-respecting fair minded person should underestimate him OR Sarah Palin.
In reality, Sarah Palin is actually a distraction away from John McCain's record. Notice how the man hasn't run his campaign on his 26 years of experience, but on "Celebrity" and "POW" issues. They are ALL distractions, and the MSM seem to bow low to all that.
The Obama campaign MUST get into Palin's psychology FAST so that they can put firm arguments to her. This will expose her as nothing other than a Blowhard who is light on detail.
If they don't, then she will help cause a major upset this November.
