The treatment of Sarah Palin by the media has been unbelievably bad, but there are some interesting aspects of it. In Politico there is an article about some Clinton aides saying how unfair the treatment of Sarah Palin is by the media. OK. Let's look at this.
We all know that the Clintons are not going away. Their political ambitions have simply been put on hold for a short while. What outcome of this election is best for a Hillary presidential run in 2012? Let's see. If Obama wins, what happens? If he does a good job, he gets reelected and Hillary cannot run until 2016. If he does a bad job, the chances of another Democrat being elected go down drastically. If Hillary does not enthusiastically support his campaign (or at least appear to), she loses the support of the Democrats who back him. Would you like to play chess with the Clintons? I bet it would be interesting!
What happens if McCain wins? Before Sarah Palin, that was Hillary's best bet. McCain will probably not run for a second term, so his Vice President would be the likely Republican presidential candidate. Hillary probably does not relish the idea of running against Sarah Palin, but in four years, Hillary can collect enough negative on Sarah Palin to make it work. Remember, the Clintons play political hardball. The only reasons Hillary lost in the Democrat Party primaries was that Barack Obama managed to take the financial underwriting of George Soros away from the Clintons because of the war issue. If you do some reading on George Soros, it will become obvious why it was not part of his plan for us to win the war in Iraq.
I feel like the little girl in the horror movie who says, "They're back!". Well, they're not back yet, but they will be. It will be interesting to see which feminists stand up for Sarah Palin. So far Geraldine Ferraro and Susan Estrich have come forward to point out the double standard being used in the reporting on Sarah Palin; it will be interesting to see if any other leading feminists are honest enough to complain.
