I've been trying to think like Schmidt a bit here. And the best I can come up with is that the key item for Palin is going to be her debate with Biden. That's when the country all sees her. In some sense.

So you live with the mistakes, the thinness of response, the whole "I don't know what I'm talking about" visage now hoping she learns. And by the time she does her bit with Biden she's more experienced and more comfortable and it shows.

I would gather something like that was the debate as to whether to spend the time between now and the debate avoiding national interviews while cramming her with every tidbit. Or getting the interview process started and let her learn by doing.

It certainly can't get any worse.

One just wonders about the phenomenon of first impressions and their sticking power.
