Sarah Palin Goes Prep

Win or lose, Sarah Palin seems ready to stick around Washington as Reuters is now reporting and that it’s likely, regardless of discouragement seemingly being offered by the citizens of America, that she thinks she stands a chance.

“I think that, if I were to give up and wave a white flag of surrender against some of the political shots that we’ve taken … I’m not doing this for naught,” Palin told ABC News in a taped interview airing on Thursday.

At the same time, she has also been quoted multiple times as saying, “”I truly believe that the wisdom of the people will be revealed on that day.”  If they vote Obama into office, are the American people still wise?

At this point I think there is more to the Sarah Palin story.  It’s just not obvious yet what that story is.  Although, from what I can see today it would seem that she’s more likely to stay in the limelight for a bit and then it is quite likely that she will slip back into obscurity sometime in the future.  Just a feeling, but eventually the criticism that she’s been taking will take its toll.

This is totally legal – but according to some of the articles that I’ve read it’s not normal.  The good news for some lucky bum is that the McCain camp is now saying that all this clothing will be donated to charity when the campaign is over – I guess they’re saying that they plan on losing or it doesn’t matter what you wear once the election is over.  Of course, if you listen to Tracey Scmitt of John McCain’s campaign, who is quoted as saying, “”With all of the important issues facing the country right now, it’s remarkable that we’re spending time talking about pantsuits and blouses.”  Then you probably don’t care how they waste their money on Sarah Palin – you’d rather focus on your $200,000 home that was worth $500,000 two years ago or the $1,800 you spent all of last year on clothing.

Perception versus reality – the issues never change.  People like attractive people and if the Republican National Convention can spiff her up, maybe the American public can overlook the fact that she’s not the brightest bulb on the tree.  But, for my money, it’s like putting lipstick on a pig.
