In response to a comment on the previous post

On my previous blog, someone left a comment implying that Sarah Palin needs all of the press 'she can muster.'

When you have a higher approval rating then the presidential candidates from either party, I don't know why. But let's see if she's receiving any press today.

Over at CNN?
Palin's swift rise is the talk of her Alaskan town

As I went around the news websites, I found a few overwhelming themes.

First, this kind from Time magazine:
Are Evangelicals Really Sold on Palin?

I expect to find a lot more of these types of articles... either questioning whether Palin's popularity is real, or blaming the people who like her for being so stupid.

Here's an MSNBC video asking if the country is ready for a First Dude (meaning, Palin's nickname for her husband.)
I expect to read a lot of those articles too. Are you ready for this? Honestly? Is this what you wanted? Really?

On the ABC webpage, I found the Sarah Palin Spotlight section.
Gee. Guess they aren't interested either.
Palin better get on a bunch of those Sunday shows, like my commenter suggested.
:)

Look... this is pretty simple. When you bust in with a higher approval rating then the two actual presidential candidates, the media is going to take notice. They still won't like you because you're a Republican, but they'll grit their teeth and ask you why you like Sarah.

McCain, on the other hand, will never get covered.
Even though his approval rating equals Obama, and the Republican convention beat out the Democratic convention for people actually watching it.
The media will continue to tell us that no one is interested.
