I think McCain team is playing it coy. After an initial burst after the Palin announcement, they decided to hold her back so her popularity would flame out to early. Sure, she's taken a hit as things calmed down, but think how the base was pumped as she made the rounds.

Like a thoroughbred being help back around the last turn, they'll let her go and sprint to the finish on a wave of popularity.

If you think that is a sound strategy, you need to up your meds. The McCain camp effed-up with her rollout. There was no strategy at all. Apparently, they figured that the Obama camp and the press (but I repeat myself) would just roll over and die at the sight of a woman on the GOP ticket. Pathetic. Like they were going down that easy.

She should have given media interviews to every possible friendly media and snubbed the MSM until the notion of her being Reagan II was cemented in the conservative mind. Instead we have weak-sisters calling for her to step down. Again, there should be a public flogging for the person that designed her media strategy, and that person should be barred from politics for life.

Mayhap this is the beginning of a different strategy, but it is really on the cusp of being too little, too late.

Brit Hume just did a segment about Sarah called--Losing Steam? They then featured clips of her poor interviews with the Perky One. They quoted Bushie John Fund as saying she is worse than Quayle and not ready to be VP. They concluded with McCain saying he had confidence in her. Gee, if Barry had picked Mrs. Clinton as VP, would we be seeing these hit pieces? Fox is just as bad as the rest of the Drive-Bys.
