If that's the case, Sarah Palin should run away with the Republican nomination easily in 2012. Because she will command almost as much, if not more, media attention as Obama when the time comes. Believe that.
I think he went with good intentions and really decided at the last moment after being informed that his appearance would push it over the top. I don't see what's so wrong with that. And as far all of this being staged, I think every adminstration is guilty of that. This isn't unique to Obama.

his own merits? what merits? he was the media darling and still is. sarah palin will get media attention but it will be bad for her because the attention she gets from the media will be negative. the mass media is liberal, they will attack her at every turn, not suck up to her as they did obama.
