Attack the messenger, don't bother debating the issues; good for you, Mr. fair and balanced.
There are no issues worth debating, and Krugman fails to offer the thoughtful investigative reporting approach to validate his claims.
Take the "bridge to nowhere"...the McCain camp is using that topic to paint Palin as a politician against wasteful spending...the Democrats want to expose that in reality, she was for it before she was against it...I have yet to see any quality investigative reporting that creates a trail showing Palin deliberately flip flopped on this issue.
Perhaps she WAS for it in the beginning, came to understand the nature of the project, and then changed her mind...a
politician should be allowed to change their mind, especially to do the right or smart thing for the electorate...the Democrats have a wedge issue if they can prove she ARBITRARILY or IRRESPONSIBLY changed her position on this issue...otherwise, it is simply a perception game, not deception.
Politics are a perception game...and Krugman's opinion piece only reinforces my perception that the Democrats have yet to launch a strategy for effectively mitigating the Palin effect.
