Post Election Palin

Now that the election is over, Palin is being defended (sort of) by the media. McCain staffers have let loose on their complaints and horror stories about the Governor. They have no quams about discussing their disappointment and oftentimes, disgust at her behavior. Campbell Brown came to her defense saying "you picked her." It seems they are so eager to play the blame game and and unwilling to accept any responsibility themselves. It is nice to see that the media is acknowledging that when they have often been so willing to join the party (as we have seen from Fox News this week). Another issue I have with this whole drama is that they chose a candidate they obviously didn't believe in and then tried to sell her to American voters. Maybe you should have done the research first.



Her approval rating in Alaska has fallen from 80% to 65% and the state has some struggles to look forward to with a Senator who is facing a felony corruption conviction adn falling oil prices. How she deals with these issues and if she can bounce back from her run at VP may determine her future in national politics.
