Well, Yeah
Marc Ambinder at the Atlantic:
Even if McCain loses in November, the GOP’s new standard bearer will be a younger working mother from outside Washington and not a rich businessman with perfect hair from Massachusetts. McCain may have saved the GOP at the expense of the campaign.
Gee, that sounds familliar:
No matter who wins in November, the RNC can’t unring the bell. Her spot on the ticket ushers in a new generation, one that isn’t as respectful of party leadership as the leadership thinks they should be. She is pulling the coalition together, and giving us more voice. She is the embodiment of and the instrument for the change the party needs most badly.
I suspect more than a few Beltway insiders hate her. I also suspect that you don’t hear much of that because they don’t dare. Palin is too much like the average American citizen and far too popular for the insiders to sneer. And the best part is that there’s nothing they can do about it.
