>> Palin Campaign

One of the top 5 or so Rs unjustly vilified by the Left under a well-defined set of principles outlined by Alinsky.

When you have nothing but fluff, then just follow the Alinsky playbook. It is how we elect our presidents these days.

"It is difficult to reconcile the obsessive reference to clothing on the campaign trail with any legitimate political issue"

Just like Edwards $100 haircuts. Funny how the wingnuts obsess over such fluff, yet when it turns against them, they get in a high dudgeon over it all...

Well, as of May 15, the FEC ruled that there was no ethics violation and the clothing spending was deemed legal. One would think that this news concluding the story would make as big of a splash with the Old Media as the beginning of the tale did. Naturally, crickets have been heard throughout the media establishment as little notice has been paid to this story.

It made all the major media for one or two days. I saw it. However, it was hardly huge news by that point.
