Palin's Only Trick

Julian Sanchez warns:

She’s playing exactly the same game she’s been playing since her big debut at the Republican National Convention: Making herself an irresistible target of “elite” scorn so that everyone who identifies with her feels equally attacked. This is not exactly a subtle strategy, but for some reason, high-level Dems who are supposed to be deeply media savvy keep getting suckered.

I know many of you disagreed with me on Gibbs, but I stick to my guns. I should add I think he's a truly awful press secretary as far as watching him on television is concerned. Such a total mediocrity, inarticulate, smug, insidery and on and on. I don't have much interaction with the Obama press staff but what interaction I have had has only deepened the impression that they are part of what's wrong with Washington, not part of what's right. Incompetent and aloof for the most part as well.
