| #5 Ex-lib - that seems to be his plan (and it's probably the best he can do) but the longer it doesn't work, the worse it gets for him. I doubt it's the sort of sit and wait for "hope and change" he had in mind. Short campaigns are either on the offense or defense, and he's got no sort of lead to be on defense. |

| #4 Obama's campaign will largely sit back, watch her rise and hope she falls. which translates: the entire media lap dogs of Obama will take care of destroying her the best they can, and Obama will seem like he's free from it all |

| #3 The Obama campaign will leave Palin to navigate the same cycle of celebrity that Obama has weathered, and the same peril that her nascent image will be defined by questions and contradictions from her Alaska past. The difference is that she has character, while he is a character. Sen. Obama does not understand that Gov. Palin has taken certain positions from her core beliefs, and has therefore acted on them consistently. As Sen. Obama has no core beliefs beyond "I'll say anything to get money and power" he's going to be waiting a long time for the MSM to crack Gov. Palin. And I might add she's not going to take any flack from the MSM either. If they call her on their double standards she's going to rub their noses in it, and it's about time someone did. |
