I think the Republicans are probably confident SP can continue and are no longer on the horns of a dilemma (whether to remove her or not). I suspect they’ll keep her in wraps except for some very controlled exposure they can control.

The press will be climbing over each other trying to get an interview.

They’ll be very careful of course to avoid stomping on McCain’s public appearances.

Obama-Biden meanwhile should stomp every chance they get and put out the fire before it gets started.

I love how everything she’s ever done has trumped any community organizing. I guess Republicans can drop the We Care about NOLA, Just Doing What Republicans Do act now, thanks to Palin.

Palin first went to Pacific Hawaii College on her “Beauty Queen” money, majoring in Business Administration, for one semester.
