Let's not talk about the issues

Sarah Palin's introduction into the presidential election campaign seems to be a dream come true for the GOP. Instead of talking about the economy, the war, or energy, the campaign conversation is being turned on its head. Just like in 2004, and in many an election before it, we're talking about whose an elitist, who represents "small town America," who care more about "regular people." Maybe the media could bring up who looks the most vaguely french...

It will be interesting to see how the Obama campaign corrals the story they're telling back to John McCain and George Bush. The new kid in town has the spotlight and they have to respond to her, but time spent discussing Sarah Palin is time not spent discussing John McCain.
