The Way It Is

Ben Smith at Politico captures it well:


Palin's improvement

In the Couric interviews, she answered every question, floundered at times, blanked at times and dug herself in deeper.
Now, she's ignoring questions.

Political pros like Smith call it "improvement" and compared to the Couric interview I guess it is, but I still wish questions were taken seriously. I'm just so 19th century that way.

All the news is about Palin and that's the real name of the game. The talk is generally positive, so we score this as a victory for the Mavericks, if not for substantive debate.
