Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin blew onto the national political scene like a surprise hit movie - with an exciting script, a new landscape, a fresh face - that suddenly everyone wanted to see and talk about.
But now that the Republican vice presidential candidate has been seen and heard by millions - and parodied on "Saturday Night Live" before millions more - a question has been raised about the "Palin Effect." While GOP loyalists apparently still love the movie, is it starting to wear thin on the rest of America, particularly the legions of middle-of-the-road voters?
"Is she a one-hit wonder? Unless she does something radically different from what she's currently doing, yes," Cal State Sacramento political communications Professor Barbara O'Connor said this week. She said that in the 23 days since Palin was named the GOP vice presidential choice, her script has been a limited and increasingly predictable one. "It's fine to say she needed some time to get her footing ... but we're well past that."
Palin's decision to postpone a two-day fundraising and campaign trip to California this week also might say as much about John McCain's campaign troubles this week as it does about her own, insiders say.
Campaign officials said Palin will bolster her foreign policy credentials by appearing with McCain at the United Nations next week. But the Alaska governor has been rescheduled to be almost exclusively at the side of McCain until the election - in part because she boosts the size of GOP activist crowds that the party's presidential candidate can't attract.
Jon Fleischman, the Southern California vice chair of the state GOP, said Palin remains enormously popular with Republicans - and a huge plus for their presidential campaign message.

A reply to the writer:
No, it is NOT wearing thin. You are just following the communist play book of “if one repeats a lie enough times, people believe it to be the truth.”

The second wave is going to happen after the debate and closer to the election when the people see that the mainstream media has been lying to them.
The SF Chronicle is indulging in wishful thinking and hoping that other dem-bots will pick it up and repeat it endlessly, trying to convince Americans that it is true.
It's a full blown attack on Palin's morality, her children and the whole family.
You really need to know what is going on out there where the rubber meets the road. I suggest all freepers grab a copy off the rack and quickly peruse it while waiting in line. No need to pay money to read this trash. I have never seen people buy the magazine. Why are they still in business? Who owns the Enquirer anyway?
If there is vile dirt being thrown, you can bet the Clintons are behind it . . . The politics of mass destruction was invented by Bill and Hillary. Recall the War Room in the White House basement? It was run by Hillary and Georgie Stepalloverus. Expect to see this vile trash on national television soon rather than later . . .
Actually, Carla, what is wearing very thin, are the hostile attacks against Sarah by rabid gay agenda pushing gays posing as journalists like you!

Oooo good one!

Only clicked on to see where link came from. SF Chronicle, no need to read article.
Of course, she is not going to be as NEW as she was but if, if only John would allow her to campaign on her own, she would be a huge help. The GOP still doesn’t get it. She can bring in many family votes that are dithering in areas such as Indiana, Colo., NM, Pa. but John apparently is unaware of this. And going to the UN???? Oh please. What a waste of time to try to up her foreign policy cred. The UN will not draw anybody to a ticket one way or another.
Indeed. Articles like this, filled with bile from envious female Colleyfornya State professors of Bullsh*t Studies, implicitly acknowledge that Sarah has been a great hit. I'll believe she is "wearing thin" however when her crowds diminish to the size of Biden's.
The fact is, the people can't seem to get enough of her, despite the leftwing's weeping and gnashing of teeth and spittle-flecked diatribes.
That was Carlie Fiorina, former CEO of HP. Turns out, she couldn't run a corporation either.
“Is ‘Palin Effect’ already wearing thin?”
Hey Carla you maggot infected lying lesbian with zero talent, you couldn’t be more wrong about the feelings of real Americans for our sister Sarah!

Hey Carla, you ugly lesbo, what is wearing really thin is the vicious lies about Sarah, you and your fellow homosexual mediots in the MSM are trying pass on as journalism or opeds.
For sure!
They're going to lose - they know it, the 2%ers don't represent anything or anyone but themselves.
Pray without ceasing!
Your point is well taken. It will not be important who "won" the debate, it will only be important who the media can convince the voters to have won the debate.
The 2% ers have a relationship with the most vile left wing haters of America. Whenever, the 2% pen a poison pen oped, write a SNL Skit or a phoney news story filled with lies about our people, the haters of America swoon and believe their garbage.
