Please Pass On Palin!

The reality is there is no need for Senator Obama, the Obama campaign, and/or his supporters to flood the media attacking Senator McCain's choice of Governor Palin.

The national media itself is doing a great job.

Whatever is left to know about Governor Palin (and we can be assured the media will continue to seek to find out), it is already known that her positions on critical issues lie further to the right than Senator McCain's does.

With the selection of the more than less nationally unknown Governor Palin, Senator McCain has no doubt energized his political base but has done so at the cost of losing the political center.

Despite a short-term bump in the polls, moving away from the political center is not the long-term "right" recipe for winning a national election.

And as the story unfolds and the adverse consequences of her selection for Republicans become evident, it would not surprise me to see sooner than later an announcement that Governor Palin has decided not to run as the VP.

Her resigning would still play well for Senator McCain having effectively supplanted attention away from Senator Obama, having demonstrated his proclaimed mantle of "maverickism" at the highest level, and while still leaving him the opportunity to select a VP who will actually give him a chance to win a close election rather than actually diminish his chances of even staying close.

Regardless whether she does or not, in the end Senator McCain's VP selection will not so kindly reflect back on Senator McCain.

Thus either way, Senator Obama has no need to say anything negative about Governor Palin but rather let her positions and her experience speak for themselves and speak for Senator McCain.

And the same goes for all those who support Senator Obama.

Please Pass On Palin!
