Palin REALLY blew it: To survive a big scandal you must be likeable. |
|
Teflon - Reagan had it, Bill had it, Obama's getting it. Teflon likability.
Palin had a wealth of material to work with. Tear jerking stories. Instead she read verbatim her GOP attack points, coming across as sneering, mean, and aggressive. In particular, the whole setup will alienate woman - putting her children under the Klieg lights to milk the last drop of partisan gruel.
As the scandal hits keep coming, you've just sealed your fate. Pit bulls with lipstick - your own words, are not sympathy figures.

1. I was thinking the same thing |

but you really articulated it for me. I think this is what killed Rudy in the Republican primary. Despite a record that made wingers' mouths water, he couldn't connect. I agree with you that she will not be liked by the "moveable middle" and that will become increasingly clear as time moves on and the Obama campaign responds.
