I've been quite impressed with the near-formula successes of Republicans these last few years. They make it look so easy: Keep Meyers from testifying, keep Scooter out of prison, keep the clock ticking on impeachment flap. Who'd-a-known that Executive Privilege would still work after all these years?
Now, Sarah Palin grabs the yoke of the Straight Talk campaign by circling topics not "prescribed" by staffers. It's refreshing to see because usually VP's just do funerals and cast their vote and that's that. She's making Biden look like a stuffed shirt and Citizen McCain look like he's all out of POW time with a bums rush of refreshing topic flare. Could it be she's looked.... you know... at the poll numbers and is actually readying for 2012 herself? "Yes Senator Palin" or "No President Palin, the intelligence isn't right yet." Who'll write that script except Sarah herself?
Sometimes going at it alone puts everyone into view.
