thing is that there are real problems with palin's politics and track record.
she is about as far to the right as is imaginable in the context of evangelical protestants.
she has shown no particular competence.
she could be president in a heartbeat.
she is quite dangerous politically, a whole separate set of problems for the republicans, a walking talking demonstration of the illusory moderation of the party.
and there is a strange symmetry between the present flurry of lint over the situation with her daughter--which is only of the slightest interest because of palin's extreme right-wing evangelical viewpoint--and the convention scale-back.
personally, i think the republicans should be pleased about this: they have press. they knocked obama off the front page. this will pass, it is a problematic angle on palin. i smell a rove.
