It makes it really hard to do any actual fact finding when the rumors start to fly. If anything these rumors are greatly helping Palin. Whether it's the 'it wasn't her kid" to "she's a racists, everyone in Alaska knows it." Every time one of these turns out to be false she gains a few more public opinion points. She can simply claim "see, I told you they're out to smear me." At this point I'd be surprise if at least some of these aren't being released, anonymously of course, by the RNC staff.
*cough* Rove *cough, cough*
They put out these easily disprovable rumors and sooner or later everything gets dismissed. It's like reversed "cry wolf." And it's been shown to work... very well.
