This article, found on MSNBC, addresses a question that most campain follower, especially democrates, have been asking. How long will Palin be front page news? Ever since to first primaries last year, the media has been favoring Barak Obama, even over Hillary Clinton. But after the announcement of McCain's running mate, the media has fled to Palin, leaving Obama in the dust. This has been great for republicans everywhere, the author argues. The publicity is helping republicans running for the house or senate secure seats that before were in jepordy. And, for the first time since this race started, McCain seem to have a major chance at winning. But be warned my republican friends, it isn't all good news. The "Palin effect" can't last forever. The author tells us that since the news is so favorable for the republicans now, if they can't come out on top in the polls, they will not win the election in November. This is as good as it is going to get. I don't know who will win in November, but be warned. A lot can change in 50 days.

I think this article brings up good points on the benefits Palin being in the spotlight has for the Republican party. However, I disagree that it only has positive effects. As we have seen in the time since Palin has been chosen as VP, the media has gone and uncovered every good and bad thing about her. Details about her time as govenor and her life have surfaced after all the attention she has drawn. While all the press brings the Republicans to center stage, it also gives those favoring Democrats a chance to protray Palin and the Republican party in a negative light.
