Bloggers Ann Althouse and Michelle Goldberg argue cogently (well, Ann does) for almost an hour on Bloggingheads and come to three conclusions:
1) We’re all talking about Sarah Palin and her book only because she’s so darn pretty (if she was plain or even ugly, McCain never would have elevated her to national consciousness), 2) cBS talking head Katie Couric should post the unedited transcripts of her interviews with Sarah, and 3) Sarah is a screen onto which some conservatives can project hope just as Barry was a screen onto which some liberals could project hope.
I have to admit they pretty well work for me, as well. And I’d leave a comment to that effect at Althouse’s blog if the stupid Google comment system didn’t demand that I verify a word that doesn’t even exist! Morons.
Although it should be considered that the "pretty" conclusion doesn’t explain why so many of Sarah’s fans are women. Including moms with strollers. Does it?
