| LordTheNightKnight said: It just seems the media is out to discredit her. She didn't just rush to give them interviews, and when she didn't do the interviews perfectly, I noticed a flood of stories making her look bad. All because she didn't spend years learning the art of telling people what they want to hear. |
She actually did quite a few press conferences in the final week or so of the campaign. Contrary to popular belief she was the most accessible candidate during that final stretch, and yet there are still people who think she was in a straight jacket the whole time (she certainly was at the beginning).
It's really a moot point though now, someone screwed up, McCain-Palin lost (the reasons are many and complicated), and the nation needs to move forward by working on the tough issues with the new administration rather than focus on the mistakes of the campaign.
Palin is still a minor player in the GoP, she is certainly poised to climb the ranks quickly, but she has no consolidated and realized power beyond what dozens of other folks have. She will have to prove herself within the party if she wants to run in 2012 and only time will tell if that is going to happen.
As of right now I think Bobby Jindal is my frontrunner for the GoP in 2012 and short of a catastrophic first term, Obama will be the DNC frontrunner by miles and miles.
