Does Palin Have The Spine to Face Down McCain?

Palin is taking it on the chin, in my odd judgment.

Here's a uniformly negative collection of links, but hardly unrepresentative.

What else can be expected when there is NO direct reporting?

This, along with much else, is a mistake the McCain campaign will pay for.

I honestly believe that Palin-loosed would be able to fool the American people and have an impact on polls that are not now going her way.

Palin -- bound by the neocons demonstrates that she is subservient to the noxious reality of the McCain campaign.

My guess is she is steamed at McCain and that she regards herself (as do her vociferous fans) as the leading one.

I am sure her notion of providence regarding actuarial possibilities is humming away. I am equally sure that, if she sees DEFEAT writ large, she will let us know that she will not go down with the Titanic.

Palintology at the palindrome: the biggest question for her is this: the federal government is not Alaska, as we are not about to nationalize the oil industry, so with the wars and Wall Street, explain just how you think revenues can be raised to pay the bill? and are you willing to stick this on Trig to pay for?

Does she have the spine? Maybe but I doubt it. Even if she does she's in way to
deep at this point and the people around her are McCain's allies, not hers.
She been imprisoned by the right-wing and they are working desperately to
fill her head with their rhetoric. She speaks by rote and that how they
want it. She's gonna face a storm if she ends up back at her old job in
Alaska, and will become a joke in presidential campaign history.

Ten years from now:
"Remember back in 2008 when that McCain guy picked that
bobble-head from Alaska? What was he thinking? Whatever happened
to her anyway? I can't remember her name but she had something to
do with pit bulls, pigs and lipstick didn't she?"

I think you underestimate the long term problem Sarah Palin will present the left. She is not a fool, and she governs a state that instead of paying taxes has the government send them money. What's not to like. Now this run for Veep may turn out to have been a big mistake--too much too soon--the way Jerry Brown's run for Pres after a couple of successful years as the Governor of CA turned out to be, forever labeling him Governor Moonbeam (Governor Pitbull?), but her following is real and growing, and if she survives this, she'll be around, smarter, tougher, and even more dangerous in years to come.
