Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, in a new interview, shows the ironclad understanding of the media that led to her near-success in the 2008 election. From Politico:

"I've been interested to see how Caroline Kennedy will be handled and if she will be handled with kid gloves or if she will be under such a microscope,"

..."It's going to be interesting to see how that plays out and I think that as we watch that we will perhaps be able to prove that there is a class issue here also that was such a factor in the scrutiny of my candidacy versus, say, the scrutiny of what her candidacy may be."
Yes, when, oh when, will the media start to pay some attention to Caroline Kennedy and her family? Who are these enigmatic Kennedys, anyway? I'm sure, if the media did a little digging, they would uncover some kind of scandal.
She observed that Katie Couric and Tina Fey have been "capitalizing on" and "exploiting" her.

"I did see that Tina Fey was named entertainer of the year and Katie Couric's ratings have risen," she said. "And I know that a lot of people are capitalizing on, oh I don't know, perhaps some exploiting that was done via me, my family, my administration. That's a little bit perplexing, but it also says a great deal about our society."
Damn that Katie Couric for asking her to name a single newspaper or magazine! And damn us all for watching it!

I reported, last week, that 60,000 or so Palindrones had banded together to push Palin as the one to beat in 2012, and I can't stress to you enough how badly I want this. Palin is just what the Democrartic Party needs in 2012.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
