Since I subscribed to NBC's Meet the Press cellphone text notification I've been getting the guest list on Friday for Sunday's program. Shortly after the VP debate I got this one:

and then this one tonight:

The Governor went back to Alaska and made a speech at her son's military parade prior to leaving for Iraq. It was televised and became a bit of a political event. Everything seems to be a political event for her. I can see having the husband-prop on the stage last night, but I had trouble with the baby-prop being there. This a formal debate, not a campaign whistle-stop.
The tactics were very clever, use the debate as a campaign event to present yourself to the American people. Don't answer the questions that Gwen Ifill asked, answer the questions that you wanted her to ask. "Yeah, you're talking about xyz but I want to talk about my executive experience as mayor of Wasilla. Oh, and did I tell you I'm a hockey mom, by golly?"
I'm content with the idea that Dems will now call foul when they see this strategy ( as opposed to gawking like a country hick at a carnival freak show ) and happy that they don't employ those ham handed techniques themselves ( although I hear a few Repubs screeching about it ).
I will throw in my 0.000002 cents for what is worth....I can see wall street from my back porch....and I can see Biden advising Obama what to do....and I can introduce you to Biden's secretary....
