First off, SHE wasn’t on the ballot as a stand alone, so it was McCain who lost. One on one against Biden, she’d have had a far greater shot at VP. Secondly, you’re forgetting something else, and that being the media is keeping her more in the spotlight for the purposes of harming her for 2012, not to sing her praises, so a lot of that is simply out of her control. But either way, she’s our most prominent Governor now, she’s not an ex-politician, and she’s not going away anytime soon unless she resigns and moves to an igloo in the suburbs of Nome.
I agree that the media is rolling her, but she’s letting them do it, even helping them. If she wants to have any chance in 2012, she’s got to get off the log now, before she goes under.
